Happy 28th Birthday Cupcake!!

I love you because you are

a grateful woman who works hard,

and loves deeply your dear husband 

his huge Christian family

my friends and me!

I love you because 

you have such a generous nature.

 Sharing your coupon knowledge, charity items, 

your good sense, your wonderful baking 

with the world, for no particular reason! 

I love you because you  

care deeply about humanity,  speaking to 

and for those less fortunate, 

discovering their stories 

and reserving judgement!

 I love you because you are positive

 loyal, kind, patient  and thoughtful 

to me, and others!

 I love you because 

you are independent, love board 

and video games, trolls, cards, dogs

 traveling and shoes!

I love you because you love black

 and red as much as me, if not more!

Enjoy our bright funky surroundings,

and know how to have fun on the cheap!

I admire you because you love so many genres of music,
 have such an enormous music knowledge, 
knowing  the lyrics to more 
songs from my youth, than I do!

 I admire you because you are patriotic, 
get excited about a hard downpour of rain,
 a good concert, a day at the beach, a 
car show and SNOW!  

I admire you because you aren't like me,

you talk comfortably to everyone,

enjoy traveling, ask for deals, 

get many things free,

prefer fun childlike characters on

your Christmas tree,

old teacups, hard candy

and carry a million useful things in your purse!

I admire  you because 

  you love Vegas for the fun, 

the glitz, glamour, 

concerts and  shopping

 more than the booze and gambling!

 I'm proud of you because you know how to have fun

by being silly, enjoying the moment, dressing up,

being witty, playing games, or cooking!

  I'm proud of you because you enjoy simple moments,

have consistently recorded  family events with

thousands of photos even though 

you don't own a high end camera!

I love  you because you are peaceful,

frugal, respectful of money and others!

 Helpful to your in-laws and me all the time!

I admire you because you're smart, 

great with numbers, 

brave, spiritual, don't succumb to 

instant gratification, or peer pressure,

 don't need praise, are a wonderful cook,

 creative, goal oriented and will backpack

to attend a festival!

But most of all I love you because you are You!

My amazing special daughter who is such a good soul,

and my best friend! Have an a phenomenal year  Cupcake, 

you deserve the BEST life

has to offer! Thank you for all you've taught me!!

I feel extremely blessed!!
