Birthday Boy!

I am absolutely, ridiculously, incredibly, astoundingly lucky to be able to spend every day for a whole year with this man.

When we were planning to go away I lost count of the number of people who said “wow, that’ll be make or break for your relationship!”. (Gee thanks!) No matter how secure you are in your relationship, that kind of thing rattles. But I can honestly say I have loved every minute of travelling with this boy so far!

I adore his passion for all living things, his sense of adventure, his indescribable capacity for fun, his ability to make me laugh at anything and everything at every minute of the day (apart from first thing in the morning!), his uncanny ability to make friends and make other people feel interesting and appreciated, his thoughtfulness, the fact that he picks up other people’s rubbish (and that he wants to punch the people who drop it!), that he gets angry and sad about injustice and selfishness and waste, that he makes me feel safe if I'm feeling a little scared, that about 50% of what he says is in a stupid voice which makes me laugh far more than I should....and I guess it helps that I fancy the pants off him too!

So Brodie Lea, happiest of happy birthdays, I can’t wait to spend the rest of this awesome year with you and the rest of time with you!
