I am so lucky to be loved by someone as awesome as Erin. Seriously, it’s ridiculous how lucky I am.

We like to joke about how we’re old, that we’re one of those old married couples that are so deathly boring to spend time with. But actually, there’s nothing so young as her joyous smile, and she accumulates more interesting pursuits and hobbies as time goes on. (On the other hand, I’m settling into my role as curmudgeonly old man several years early.)

I’m looking forward to wishing Erin many happy birthdays before we really are the boring old folk we joke about being.
