Happy Birthday to.....

The draft of the grant is done. Still have to do a budget narrative and evaluation piece but the bulk is right on target. I gave the drafts out this afternoon as planned and am now going to go away with my wonderful husband for the weekend to celebrate his 50th birthday.

Yes, I am younger...that is important to note! We're flying up to DC tomorrow to spend the weekend with our friends Philip and Paul. Philip is celebrating his 50th birthday also. Philip's is Monday and Hank's is Tuesday. I'll bring lots of photos back as there will be a party on Saturday night and the guys have a gorgeous new house that we haven't seen yet. Good friends and good food and CAKE...I bet we'll have CAKE!!! Probably not THIS cake but I found the photo and thought it was pretty!


We'll be back on Sunday evening with stories to tell.

If you don't already know...my Hank is the most wonderful patient kind patient loving patient generous patient man who ever walked the face of the earth. As a daddy, he is the best. As a friend, he is one of the most loyal anyone could ever hope to have. In his professional life, he is hard working and a man of impecible integrity.

He is without question the BETTER half in our marriage. He is the love of my life. Nobody else ever came even close.

I don't know why God blessed me with such a wonderful husband but I count my blessings each and every single day.

Join me, won't you, in wishing him a very Happy 50th Birthday!

    Happy Birthday to Hank.

    Old men are the best! I recently mentioned, "an old guy in his fifties" to my husband, forgetting that he is 51. The playful punch that I received only caused me to remember that fifty is growing closer for me.

    Enjoy the celebration with your friends, and eat a piece of non-pink cake. The cake in the photo is pretty, but cake should have an abundance of chocolate icing!!!

    Happy Birthday Hank!!

    Your wife adores you!!!!!!!


    Have a wonderful trip.

    That cake is awesome!!!!

    Hmmm, I wonder if you and I may be close to the same age Ms. Belle.

    I started having kids when I was "old", so i loose perspective on others similar aged to me when I see their kids.
