She's turning 29!

Today is Ktreva’s Birthday. As a present I bought her a Colt 1991A1 .45 in the commander model. This way she’ll leave mine alone. She seems very pleased with it. Which is a good thing.

I’ve spent three hours trying to come up with words to express how much I love and appreciate her, and I’m just not capable of doing it. I’m just not that kind of wordsmith or poet. How can a heathen like me even begin to describe how I feel every day I wake up next to her? The way I can’t help but look at her beautiful silky red hair flowing over the pillow like cascading waterfall catching the subtle ambers of a sunset. The beauty of a Celtic goddess sleeping, her head lying perfectly still as the corners of her mouth form a slight smile. When I touch her, the softness of skin is like that of rose petals on a soft summer morning. As I look at her, my heart beats a little harder and my breath quickens just knowing that I am fortunate enough to have her as my wife. I have no way of telling her these things. I can’t, for she is my love and I to clumsy to profess my love of her.

But I do wish her a very Happy Birthday. And I would appreciate it if all of you could go wish her a Happy Birthday as well.

Your words sound pretty smooth for a so called clumsy guy. This must be part of that shyness I've read so much about :-) You're a lucky guy, she is radiant!

I can see by the post that you are speechless as usual... good thing Ktreva can read minds. *grin*

Just tell her you love her more than black powder and pointy steel weaponry.

Her heart will melt :-)
