Happy Birthday Captain!

Today is quite the day!  Not only is it Chris’s birthday, but it’s the first birthday that we’ll be celebrating at “home” in Washington state in over 3 years!  We’re going to commemorate the day by doing all the autumn things that he loves- picking out pumpkins at the pumpkin patch, drinking fall-flavored coffee, going on hayrides, and winding ourselves through corn mazes.  I even slaved over homemade birthday carrot cake complete with fondant icing (that stuff is tricky).

Chris,

You’re the ideal travel companion and my truest friend.  Thank God this isn’t twitter because I wouldn’t even begin to describe how amazing you are in under 140 characters.  You make life an exciting adventure and every day, whether home or abroad, is always a journey of exploration.  I wish you the very best on your 26 birthday and I am so honored that we get to celebrate it together!  Here’s to many, many more.

Love & exploration,

Tawny
