happy birthday chance! [sorry for the sissy drink in the photo]
i am going to try and keep this short and sweet.
i am grateful everyday for a husband who likes me for who i am. who loves and supports me. who is not only funny, but also unbelievably hot. he is free of back hair and can fix anything. he has rebuilt 3 or 4 cars in his day. he has built a house with his own two hands. he is extremely intelligent, and wittier than anyone i've ever met. he makes me coffee in the morning. he tells me he loves me every single night before bed. he knows how to make me laugh when i am fuming mad. he is sensitive. he loves his nieces and his nephew. he loves his friends, his work, his family (and mine).
we went and rode go-carts last night. then he drank a slurpee.
did i mention that he is a lot of fun?
like a 12 year old at heart.
me, i wasn't real kicked up about riding co carts, but laughed uncontrollably and had a blast.
sometimes i wonder how i got it so good.
this morning i had his favorite waiting for him for breakfast:
and then we he opened a gift from our friends the Bartons:
a pair of very cool Dutch 1930's Painted Buoys (Chance loves them!, and so do I)
i've put them on the coffee table… aren't they great!?
if money were no object I would buy him this for his birthday:
(but since the reality is: we are your normal working class citizens… so he got a new gas grill, a very Leave It To Beaver thing to give your husband for his birthday… and it probably won't bring 1/100th of the excitement as a Cobra)
Someday he'll order the kit and build it himself, and I look forward to witnessing it.
I love you.




This post made me laugh and laugh. You two are hilarious and quite the perfect couple!
Happy birthday to Chance and we hope it’s another great one. I’m looking forward to what the upcoming year has in store for LDC given that in the past years he’s built houses and cars! Seriously, he’s like a robot. Boy can do anything. Super Chance.
I would like to retract my “robot” term just in case someone takes it in a negative connotation, which is certainly NOT how it was intended. Instead I would like to substitute it with “super hero.” Thank you.

Very sweet!
Hot is right!
Let’s hear it for this Renaissance man!
And with no back hair to boot, I think he’s a keeper.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Chace! I had to do that for mom. She can’t seem the keep the dog and Chance apart! That sweet, sweet message made me want to laugh and cry. You’re too sweet, Brookie! I hope the Fruit Loops got Chance off to a great birthday-they are delicious! I miss and love you both! Cous
LOL, his taste in women and cereal have a theme!
My dear husband loves Cap’n Crunch!!
I can see it now, the car, vermont, green door, dogs, and a well designed life, full of love and grace.
look at those eyes!!
He sounds like a soulmate. Those are the best. Love, laughter, and passion. Makes for a sweet lifelong romance.
Now, go breed with this man. Both of you are beautiful + brilliant creatures. Imagine how amazing your offspring will be!
Happy Birthday Chance!
Absolutely lovely – your post and your husband. Aren’t you glad you got a good one and not one of those scoundrels that seemed so appealing at first glance?
