Happy Birthday D....

September 14th.....somebody so precious was born on this day - 74 years ago.  

I am so thankful for the gift of you Michael Lane Corley.  I have had the blessing of celebrating 50 birthdays with you!  We have been through so many mountain tops and a few valley's too....but I wouldn't want to ride this journey with anyone but you.  

The sweet little couple next door ask me for marriage advice often.  They have two tiny kids and life is kinda hard right now.  I just tell them.....ride it out.  There have been some times when I think we both would have walked away.....but WE STAYED.  Thank you for staying.  Thank you for never giving up.  Thank you for seeing the good in me.....but also seeing the ugly and loving me anyway.  

You are precious to me Michael.  My love, my best friend, my rock, my partner in crime =), the one who knows me best - warts and all.....you are just the sweetest gift ever.   

I hope and I pray we have many more years to celebrate....birthdays, anniversaries - kids, grands, and greats.....this sweet life that God has given us.

I love you Michael.  Thank you for loving me like you do.  Thank you for sharing this crazy, mixed up life with me.  Thank you for letting me be your "woman child".....forever and a day sweet man.
