Happy Birthday Padre Man!






















An Ode To A Marriage Of 21 Years

We have a lot of differences, you and me.
Just take a look and you will see...

I am short, you are tall,
You like Summer, I like Fall.

You like the blinds up, I like them down,
You’re scared of nothing, I’m scared of clowns.

You like thick, I like thin,
You like Sun, I like Jin.

You like to save, I’d rather spend,
You often rip, I often mend.

You’re always hot, I’m always cold,
I am young and you are old.

I like covers, you like none.
I like pajamas, you like none.

I like to be early, you’re usually late,
Neither of us like Kevin in Cider’s crate.

I like steamy showers, you like them cool,
When I need help, you have the right tool.

I like the foam in, you like it out,
We both like the hot tub without a doubt.

You like Crown Burger, I like Jimmy John’s,
I am right, you are wrong.

You like my hair long, I like yours short,
You wore a mullet, oh wait, I did too.

I like current music, you like classic rock,
To you it’s beige, ecru you mock.

You hunt elk, I hunt shoes that are tall,
You have a large bladder, mine is quite small.

You think they’re rabbits, I know they’re dogs,
You have killed deer, Cider kills hogs.

You like the garage on Saturday nights,
I’d rather put on a show and turn out the lights.

When I can I like to lazily live,
When you have time, you take initiative!

Although we may be different, we’re two halves of a whole,
And life with you is surely never dull.

So Happy Birthday to my Mr. Darcy, Mr. Incredible, Mr. Locke,
There’s just one more thing to say, YOU ROCK!!
