You may be older, but you absolutely are WAY more awesome! 

I am so happy to be your husband! you have been alive for 23 years! You have been using those years very wisely. You have been becoming the girl of my dreams! And you are succeeding! What I love about you and what you are doing is that you didn’t quit 8 or so years ago when we met and it was clear that you were amazing and I wanted you, no you didn’t quit becoming my dream girl. Nor did you quit 6 years later when I proposed to marry you. Nope, you became my fiancée and kept working hard to become the girl I always dreamed would be my wife. Then you became my wife on that glorious May day almost two years ago and then did you quit? Not you! Everyday you are the girl that I dream about and everyday you work hard to become more that girl. 

You are intelligent, hilarious, talented, hard working, beautiful, caring, loving, amazing, and full of a passion for me that I do not deserve or appreciate enough. 

You amaze me my gorgeous dream girl. I am jealous of myself sometimes because I get to do life with someone as awesome as you and I take it for granted far too often.

I love you Karaboo… More.

Now have a great birthday and I thank you for being my dream girl!
