I have known you over half of your life. I knew you at the end of your tens, all of your twenties, and now into your last year of your thirties. Each decade has been better than the one before. In your twenties you were married, bought your first house, had your first child, had four more, sold your first house, moved, and helped plant your first church. In your thirties you had five more children, sold your second house, moved, helped plant another church, and then sold your third house before moving once more. You've had a few of productive decades to say the least. Through it all you have grown wiser and warmer. You are flexing your domestic muscles and getting better every day in every way. You are always getting cuter and more capable. You are always learning about new things and how to do them. You are expanding without losing what you already knew. Like wine, you grow in complexity and value with every passing day.
I am so proud to be your husband. You are by far the best thing about me. Nothing speaks more highly of me than you behind me. There is nothing I have done that could gain me a better reputation than someone finding out that you are my wife. You make me look good because you already look so good to begin with. Thanks for sharing. It was not good for me to be alone, but with you everything is always getting better.
I love you and I like you. I always have and I always will.
I can't wait to see what the next decade has in store.
Your husband,
Todd Henry Van Voorst
