Ryan turns 30 tomorrow and while I should be showering him with gifts, he just gave me the best gift ever of fixing our bathtub. He seems to be getting more handy in his old age.
I have big bday plans in store for him and, for the first time, I have been able to keep a secret.
I just want to tell you, Ryan, that I think 30 will be a good year for you because each year with you seems to get better and better. Don't feel like you are having a crisis of old age because you and I both know that you are smarter and sexier than ever before (sorry dad that you had to hear me call someone sexy).
I know that it seems that we are taking longer than some others when it comes to the kids, house, dependable income thing and that it is mostly because of me that we are taking our time...but it will be worth it. I don't go a single day without being thankful for your support and without feeling amazement that we found each other 10 years ago. These next ten will be as eventful as the last ten, with as many struggles and as many triumphs and as many nights of "playing bar" (maybe even more if I don't get a job
soon)...and hopefully we will add a new addition to our family and find a new place to settle into...and who knows what else. Thank you for your commitment to us...I haven't doubted it since I was 18.
So, the girls (gia and sophia for those of you that don't know) and I send our constant love and admiration to you on your 30th. Thanks for fixing our bathtub.

Janelle, that was so sweet and so beautiful that I could almost cry. I hope I can be as eloquent as you when Doug turns 30 later this year.
Happy 30th Ryan!
