To My Love

Happy Birthday Seth!

This year's birthday is special. It's your first birthday as a father! Sofia and I love you beyond what our words can explain.

In this last year leading up to this birthday of yours, so much has changed. We became pregnant with our sweet little girl. We told our bosses we were moving across the country. We celebrated 4 years of marriage. We took the life that we had been living for those 4 years of marriage and we packed it up (or gave it away) and drove across the country to start a new adventure in Portland, Oregon. We made our home and began to settle. We bought real furniture (like real adults!!) And then, at the very beginning of your birthday month, we met our first child, our sweet Sofia BryAnn. Our lives have truly changed leading up to your 31st birthday!

You have been even more amazing than ever and in this last year, I have fallen even more in love with you. Throughout the pregnancy, you took extra care of me, were super sensitive to my needs, and were adorably overprotective about the safety of me (& our little one). You were an amazing support to me during labor. We truly worked as a team to bring our baby girl into this world. I couldn't ask for a better man to share my life with, to share our live's most beautiful moments with. For these things (& more) I thank you. You make my life complete.

I wish you a very happy birthday and may this next year be even better than the last!!! Love you!! XOXOXO
