It’s been 24 years today since the day you were born…and the past two years today, I’ve been lucky enough to have spent with you. Who would have thought the same person I worked side by side with those few weeks in the dead of the Louisiana summer heat, while wearing a bandana, ripped jeans, paint covered t-shirts, and a ponytail would one day be person that I now consider to be such a huge part of my life. You decided, despite the way I teased you and despite the way I dressed for those days of construction…you wanted me to be your girlfriend.
When you first asked me out, I had no expectations. I anticipated it being another fun meal with a guy I spent time with in architecture school, a chance for us to talk about the BeauSoleil project. Instead, I found myself laughing, flirting, and looking forward to the next time I’d see you again. I can still remember those first few weeks when we were dating. I remember your confidence, your sense of humor, and your charm. And although I still love our fun, flirtatious moments, I love even more that I can turn to you in the times that are not so easy, that I can trust you with my thoughts, and that I am challenged by your opinions.
Since the day I opened my heart to you, you have made me a better person and for that I am thankful. Even now, as I am sitting at my computer, typing this letter to you I am thankful. After a wonderful day of shooting in a city not close enough to where you are I think of how you never once complained. Instead, you encouraged me to do well today and wished me the best of luck at my shoot. Although I am not with you on your birthday right now, I wanted you to know that I hope you are having a wonderful birthday. You deserve the best.
Thank you for your constant support; I love you.
Happy birthday, love.
Oh my god how cute! Happy birthday Brad!
