In all the excitement of my birthday it slipped my mind that Nicole asked me to marry her two years ago while we were walking amongst big trees.

I realize that our marriage is a constant work-in-progress, mainly me learning to be less insane and crazy and maybe even a little less petty and grumpy. I know it certainly means I should be more tidy and not wear wrinkled clothing.

Still, you offered me half of your heart and that’s pretty awesome. (Thanks buddy.)
