I am grateful to have Erin as my partner in this dance of life. I love how she is with the kids and her willingness to not only put up with my antics, but to grow with me in our respective areas of development. I love that we spend time learning to laugh at our foibles and be humbled by the magnitude of life.
The reason this FB birthday message is late is simple: we gave Erin Mario Kart 8 for her birthday in lieu of flowers. She couldn’t play it with the family without extra controllers so we bought her some controllers, and then realized that she did not have anything to play it on, so, yes, now we have a Switch. Two stories about this. Just before we started dating I bought Erin “Love Actually” for Christmas and then sent her a DVD player so that she would have something to watch it with. And… for our wedding registry I put pots and pans and a Roomba on the list, and Erin put a Wii, Rockband, Guitar Hero and Mario Kart on. So yeah, no time to write pleasantries, need to learn to drift and throw turtle shells again (oh and to watch the kids learn to play is adorable).
Happy Birthday Erin, and thank you.
