Yesterday, Aaron turned 33 years old. He always makes comments about his old age. I don't think that is so old. Of course he didn't want a party, so we celebrated during Family Home Evening (essentially, we had a party, just under a different title, a little trick I've learned when dealing with children). AJ was in charge of the activity and he wanted to play hide-n-seek. Aaron was "It", and when he found somebody they had to jump out and yell "Happy Birthday!" I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again, I love the mind of a six year old. Aaron wanted a Tres Leches Cake with strawberries on top, it is a Mexican dessert (this desire must come from his Mexican heritage, see my post on 3-31).
His birthday reminded how much I appreciate him. He definitely keeps me on my toes. Our lives are far from boring. He has taught me a lot. I would never want to live life without him, but I know I could. He has helped me find strength in being who I am. He has helped me become a better person. There is no one else I would rather be married to. No amount of money or fame could replace the relationship that we have. I remember as a child, my best friend's parents had a sign hanging in their family room that read, "Happiness is being married to your best friend." How true that is.

I can't believe you remember that sign in mom and dad's bedroom! Please tell Aaron a big happy birthday from me! And email me and tell me what's going on!
Yeah, I remember the sign, but I thought it was in the family room. Is it in their bedroom? If it is, that is very strange I would remember it, because I only went in their bedroom maybe once. However, it did have an impact on my life. I just need to get my own little sign like it.
