I would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to the most amazing Woman | Wife | Mother in the world… my amazing partner in crime, Melanie. Today you turn more beautiful then you were yesterday, as you have done every day since the day I met you and declared you the prettiest girl I have ever seen. I would like to thank you on your birthday. I thank you for loving me, and allowing me to love you as much as I do. I thank you for making me a husband in awe knowing he has somehow ended up with a woman way out of his league. I thank you for making me a father to two amazing children who adore their mother and smile ear to ear when they know she is near. I thank you for tolerating the intolerable that is sometimes,… me (Snoring. Behavior that may make it seem that you have three kids. Bad jokes. so on… so on. Let’s keep this about you). I thank you for all that you sacrifice to make our family as strong as it is, and for unconditionally carrying the weight that I drop. I thank you for being the hardest working woman I know. And I thank you for making me smile each and every day I get to see your pretty face. I hope on your birthday I can return the favor and make you smile as well.
Happy Birthday Mommy!
Love – your husky husband – Eric
Sara and Emil are the perfect couple to post and wake me from my 172 day blog coma I have been in. Mostly because they are just an amazing couple that I am happy to now call friends…. but also because they got married two weeks ago and I figure it is best I share the engagement pictures first. A BIG thank you to our mutual friend Cori for having Emil and Sara take a look at me for their engagement and wedding needs, I owe you. We took some time on a beautifully cloudy PNW day to stomp around in downtown Bellevue… then we made our way to the waterfront in Kirkland…. then we got on a plane and flew to Sonoma California and got married! Well they got married, I just took pictures. And drank wine. Here’s a quick peak with more to come from them, and the mountains of work I have been hoarding all year.
