Heya Shorty!

As if your birthdays letters couldn't get any worse than last year, this year I asked Bard to generate a birthday letter for you using our photo captions and here it is (note that I did have to edit a bunch):

To Shorty, My Queen of Beach Vacas, Cabin Snuggles, and Accidental Costco Purchases, Happy 33rd birthday! Here's to another year of loads of matcha lattes & late night munchies.

I know, I know, you might be looking at this letter like the mole rat at Starbucks (seriously, how did they let that thing in?): confused and slightly horrified. But fear not, my love, for these pictures tell the tale of a year filled with adventures (well, mostly vacations), and questionable fashion choices (matchy waffle PJs, anyone?)

Remember that epic ski trip? Turns out, you dig cabin time more than powder days. Maybe next year we'll swap the skis for fuzzy pajamas and a lifetime supply of cocoa? And who can forget that cruise? You, sneaking off to Lido deck like a pirate treasure hunter, leaving poor Bubz snoring in his balcony like a beached whale.

Seriously though, every picture here is a reminder of why I wouldn't trade you for all the free Starbucks in the world. You're my beach buddy, my mountain snuggler, my partner in coupon clipping.

So here's to you, my amazing wife. May the next year be filled with even more free hotel nights, less lone-lay time, and more korean reality tv shows. Remember, I love you more than Ellen (but not quite as much as you love saving money).

Love always,
Your farty face, snowboard loving, adventure seeking, fast food junkie hubby, Bubz!
