Thank you, Elijah Marshall, for loving me just the way I am. Thank you for knowing me better than I know myself, and bringing an extra jacket - one of yours - because you knew I'd be cold even if I swore I was warm enough (I wasn't.) Thank you for planning dinner in DC for us and Babs, because you know I love taking him as many places with us as we can. Anywhere that has a Yappy Hour is my kind of place.
Thank you for getting excited about couponing and window shopping with me. Thank you for reveling in the small moments. For letting me sleep in because you know I've been extra exhausted, even when I would have gone on a walk with you at 5am. For waking me up with peppermint tea, because is been my vice since we found out we're going to be parents. For being so steadfast, and giving second chances, and going the extra mile just to show how much you love me on any random day of the week.
I love you. I can't wait to raise this baby with you. I'm so grateful that this is our life.
