(Mack’s birthday is tomorrow, and we’re shooting a wedding because he’s a generous soul like that. Leave him some birthday love here, and on Facebook tomorrow!)

I wish I could jump out of a cake for you… but we’re not allowed to eat cake on this diet.

I wish I could wiggle around in a tight little dress and sing a breathy tune for you, a la Marilyn Monroe, but I can’t keep a straight face.

I wish I could buy you all the awesome things we see on the internet and say “Someday”, or take you to Australia, or even just give you a week off work instead of just today.

I can’t do those things.

But I CAN, and I will, love you real hard. Today and every day. I’m so glad you have birthdays, because it makes me remember even more clearly that I’m crazy grateful you were born.

Happy birthday, to my very own Mr. President. 🙂
