To Tuck…on your birthday

Happy Birthday to my very best friend!  I could list all the things that I love about you…

I could list all the things that make me laugh or drive me crazy or make you “you”….

But instead, sometimes MY words aren’t ever quite enough.  They  just don’t seem to capture everything that is in my heart and how thankful I am for that silly blind date that I had no idea I was going on!  There are never going to be words that will ever explain how every night I am thankful for you and to our friends for pairing us together!

Sometimes blind dates DO and CAN work!  Sometimes they are the best surprises of them all and when you aren’t looking, you end up finding your soul mate (whether you want to or not… right?!)

I’m so thankful for that lunch date and the many more that have come after and the more we have left to come in the future!

I’m thankful for all of our times that we have had… the great and amazing, the life altering ones, and even the tough ones!  They have made us who we are!

Mostly though… I’m jus thankful for you!

You are one incredible (hero) of a man who works hard for his family and plays harder when your home.  You are my constant supporter and cheerleader.  You are the crazy dad at the pool that all the kids love!  You are one amazing friend that once you’re in, you’re in for life… there’s no getting rid of you!  Most of all, you are more loved than you could ever know!

So enough of my words… here are some words that always make me think of you!

(And of course, they are from my favorite artist ever… Jason Mraz)

“I will hold your hand and watch the world spin madly around this life we’re in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it’s you I’m with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it’s you I’m with
You, you, you..

Every once in a while, you know I get these real bad headaches
Worried about the mistakes that I’ve made along the way
You and I, we can’t hide from the fact that we need each other
How else will I recover when the fever comes again

Temperatures rise, temperatures fall
Will you be my constant through it all?

I will hold your hand and watch the world spin madly around this life we’re in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it’s you I’m with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it’s you I’m with
You, you, you..

There are no words, no words when I’m with you, you, you
Every time I hear music, they’ve added more stuff to it
Things are always moving into a futuristic place
Where you and I will try, we’ll try to dance into tomorrow
But time will have to borrow, not a minute left to waste

Heartbeats rise, heartbeats fall
Will you be my constant through it all?

I will hold your hand and watch the world spin madly around this life we’re in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it’s you I’m with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it’s you I’m with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it’s you I’m with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it’s you I’m with”
