Twenty-Tenth Birthday!

Happy Birthday Baby!!!
Today is the birthday of my best friend Melissa. She is the best wife any man could ever dream of having! One of the things I love the most about Melissa is that she "gets" me. Those of you who know me understand what I'm talking about. Not very many women in this world could be married to me and not lose their sanity. With all my different hobbies and interests I am always fired up about something that has nothing to do with normal life but somehow she understands that that's what makes me tick and she loves me for it. How many women do you know that would suggest moving away from family and friends to go to Alaska just because it's their husband's dream? And not only that, she has become interested in the things that I'm interested in. She is hands down my favorite person to go into the woods with. She looks so cute packing a rifle and binoculars, and she can hold her own when it comes to making the shot. I still don't understand how she manages to look so good in hip waders, I feel like I'm in an "Uncle Buck's" cheese cake calendar every time we fish together!! We spent a dozen or so nights tent camping deep in the back country with the bugs and the bears, canoed literally hundreds of miles, caught hundreds of pounds of fish and packed countless miles hunting for bears high on steep mountain sides and still she is just as feminine and cute as ever, how does she do that?
So here's to you Babe, on your twenty-tenth birthday, may you always be in your twenties!!
Thank you for being my lovely wife, I love you
Pat
