She has a birthday coming up and is quickly catching up to her husband's age.
And he A D O R E S her.
I met her 10 years ago; it was a fantastic Summer.
She would bring my roommates bakery bread after her work.
I observed her for months, and I often would picture her as the ONE.
One day, I learned she can play the Harmonica.
On another, I found her under the family car changing the oil.
Then there was the time, I mentioned that I really liked Katy and 3 guys in the group told me that they planned to date her.
I proposed in the Ward garden. More of a query; A gauge in her interest in me.
She responded she was interested, but would not be able to marry until after 18 months.
Yes, it broke my heart. But she has mended it many times. She knows everything about me. And keeps it interesting as I keep discovering her.
Did you know she is skilled as a Ninja? AND is the one who catches the lizards.
When I tell the story, I always include what transpired--she proposed to me--as we rode the escalator one floor up. From me, stunned silence. Huge smile. I said yes, and it was sealed 1 month later.
We know we were meant for each other--its true--we are a better than a satisfactory match, we are perfect compliments.
And I have been lucky ever after and forever to come.
KATY: you are beautiful. I love you.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Katy!
ReplyDeleteUm, I'm pretty sure Ryan just did the coolest thing so allow me to commend his before telling you Happy 30th. You are beautiful, talented and kind.
ReplyDeleteWhen Ryan was born I wanted a daughter, but we brought him home anyway. That was the BEST thing I ever did. Asking Katy to be his eternal companion is the BEST thing he ever did. Katy, Happy 30th Birthday. I love you, my daughter. Thank you for all that you are.
ReplyDeleteA true love story with a Happily Ever After! You are a special couple with the most wonderful bond and adorable daughters. Beautiful tribute to Katy from Ryan! Happy 30th birthday to the most beautiful, lovely, talented, and sweet woman; Katy.
