I have this joke with Joe that when he’s older than me (from March until January of the next year) he’s so OOOOLD. But when we’re the same age (for 2+ months) he’s not. Well, today marks the entrance into his Oldness.
I decided last night that when I wrote this post today, I wouldn’t write anything all mushy but instead keep things funny and light. Ha ha! But I can’t seem to get past the feeling of mushy and all lovey-dovey so I’ve put off posting this until nigh late it the day. I guess I have to succumb and just write what is in my heart to write.
Joe is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. He’s also one of the smartest and funniest people I’ve ever known. My kids say he knows half of everything in the universe or 51% of everything there is to know because no matter what they ask him, he knows the answer or how to find the answer within seconds. This knowledge does not make him pretentious. Instead, he seems to be more understanding and kind to those with a less wide knowledge base (me).
During this last while of me falling apart and him picking up the slack he has not complained once. He is encouraging and supportive and my biggest cheerleader. I could not have created a more compassionate mate if I had the means to do so and I will be forever grateful.
Happy Birthday, Joe. Sorry you’re so old but it was bound to happen. Again.
Happy, happy, happy birthday to your Joe, who sounds the awesome. But I would expect no less from someone who loves *you*.
🙂
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Joe!
Happy Birthday, Joe!
Happy B-Day Joe! I miss having Valentines (remember that mexican food place?) with you!
One of my good friends from high school shares a birthday with Joe. This guy is smart smart smart. But he’s not an asshole about it either! Must be the day…
Joe, best wishes for a happy birthday celebration and a spectacular 39th year!
Happy, Happy Birthday, Baby….cause compared to me, Joe, you ARE a spring chicken!!!!
Joe!!! Happy Happy…saw over on Leah’s twitter that today was your bday. Do you realize that we have “known” each other 10 years this month??? Wowza! Congrats to you both as I could not be happier that you found each other…Jenny
Leah–My husband and I share the same joke, as he is 2 months and 2 days older than I am. From July to September, he’s totally an old goat!
Thanks Leah, and thanks leahpeah readers for your well-wishes. At last, I am “so much older and wiser” again. Ha!
Thanks again.

Happy Birthday, Joe! Sorry you are so dang old.
I concur! And don’t let your decrepitude get you down.
