Happy Birthday Miss Julie

-->

Early on in our relationship, even before we'd met, we talked a lot about how we thought, imagined, hoped our lives would be together. I told Miss Julie this:

I am building a story in my mind that has you and me in it as the major characters...Will the story be about a clash of cultures? Or a clash of wills? A sweet romance? Or a cooking lesson where the souffle flops when you take it out of the oven? Will it be the closing of Casablanca? Or You've Got Mail? Sleepless in Seattle or Annie Hall?

Or the stateroom scene from Night at the Opera?

As it turns out, it's been a little bit of all of that. And it has been the most exhilerating, wonderful, and heartfelt time of our lives.

Happy Birthday, darlin. I love you.
