Happy 36th Birthday, Sweetheart!
May God grant you many, many years!
OK, besides some pretty rad decks, we also gave Chris a number of books to add to the Schmidt Family Library. I was pretty stoked about how I wrapped this one. My subscription to the Chicago Tribune has been paying huge dividends in the gift wrap department.
To my Dear and loving Husband
by Anne Bradstreet
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole Mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that Rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompence.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold I pray.
Then while we live, in love lets so persever,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.
