Happy Birthday Jennifer

Today is Jennifer's birthday and she is off with friends and family for a little while this morning. So, I spent this morning looking through photographs from a recent family vacation as I want to create a collage for our home. Every year or two we take a sailing adventure and take the whole family and some friends as well. I guess it has become a family tradition as my father started us on these adventures and taught me how to sail. I sure miss him and each trip is a tribute to dad.

We charter a 50+ foot sailboat or catamaran, and I get to be the captain. Needless to say, it is an exciting adventure. I am working on a book that will span a decade of sailing in the Carribean. These images were from our 6th trip last year and as I looked through the photographs, there were lots of beautiful photographs of Jennifer.

I wanted to blog a little tribute to my best friend and tell her happy birthday. Jennifer and I met by chance 13 years ago and have been attached at the hip from day one. She is my business partner, the love of my life, and most of all, she is my best friend. Jennifer, I just want to say how proud I am of you. I hold you in the highest regard, I am honored to be your husband and friend, and to me you are the most talented, loving, and beautiful woman and soul there is. It is hard to believe how the time passes, but I look forward to every year and every moment we have together.

I know I am not alone as the whole family and all of your friends think the world of you. You lookout for everyone's best interest and try to be a true friend to all. We all thank you for just being you.

Happy Birthday.
