Happy Birthday Mike!

Today is Mikes birthday and as such I wanted to take a minute and pay tribute to the Best Husband Ever. As some of you four to five readers may be aware, Mike and I met while working at the Olive Garden around eight years ago. He was a bartender, I was a waitress and a terrible one at that. I forgot ketchup, forks, lemons and clean plates for my tables constantly. One night I realized that I wasn't as behind as I normally was and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why I was not being hounded to refill drinks, take dirty plates back or refill the confounded "all you can eat soup salad and bread sticks". I stood back and watched and there was Mike, cleaning up my mess, taking care of all my needs, even before I realized what I needed. He has been there behind me ever since, helping me do whatever it is that I am currently doing on my crazy whims, whether that is real estate, photography, babysitting, boating, etc. Like I had mentioned before, he is supportive of my incessant need for trips, my insane likes and dislikes that change with a strong gust of wind, my often need to express and argue my opinions etc, etc. He is a wonderful father to our beautiful daughters, is a super hard worker and great at doing laundry. He is the best thing that ever happened to me and I am so grateful to be with him. Happy Birthday Mike, I love you.
