There is a joy in the journey. There's a light we can love on the way. There is a wonder and wildness to life. And freedom for those who obey.

"I love you with all my liver!"

For those of you reading this, who may not have known, today is my birthday. I am now 29 years old. I have had a wonderful day so far! This morning when I woke up, my wonderful husband was in bed beside me, having not gotten a dispatch for last night. As soon as I began stretching and waking up, he reached out and hugged me and said “Happy birthday, I love you.” How wonderful is that for a way to start your day!? I told him, “I love you with all my heart!” He then reminded me that in fact, I love him with all of my parts, and said, “You love me with all your liver!” LOL

From there it just got sillier, and the conversation ended up something like this:

“I love you with all my SPLEEN!”
“I love you with all my ESOPHOGUS!”
“I love you with all my APENDIX!”
“I love you with all my KIDNEY!”
“I love you with all my DUODENUM!”

Now THAT’S love, baby! LOL

From there things only improved. I had two cards waiting for me when I got up. One from R, and one from J complete with his handprint stamped at the bottom! How sweet! When my Daddy picked me up to go to work, there was a card and two presents in my seat. I got a lovely new shirt, pink of course, and a box of my favorite nuts (cashews) from my favorite nut store here in town. When I arrived at work, the stuff was hitting the fan with a job that I’d been quoting, so things were very hectic for a while. When everything finally settled and I was able to go through my inbox, I ended up with five e-cards and a lunch invitation! My coworker remembered to say happy birthday as well, in the midst of the morning chaos.

So if the first day is any indication, I guess being 29 won’t be as bad as I thought. Thanks everyone!
