Pam's Birthday

It's my wife's birthday today. 

She never ever ever wants anything. Seriously nothing. I've been with her for 9 years and she literally tells me she wants nothing every time. 

And although that seems easy on me it's anything but. In fact it drives me nuts. I always try to surprise her with things and gifts and dates but she'd never ask for any of it and would be fine, maybe even happier, without it.

Even though this does indeed drive me crazy on holidays and her birthdays, it really just makes me jealous.

I want to be like that for birthdays and holidays. Because quite frankly no matter how much I say it, there's still that little kid inside me that halfway wants to get blown away by some amazing gift that I didn't need. 

And I know I'm not alone in that. I want to be content with what I have and will still try to do so everyday.

I just hope I can truly rid myself of the wanting as much as my wife has because then it only makes me want what I already have that much more awesome. And what I have in her is better than awesome or any other great adjective in the English language. 

So happy birthday Pamela. Thank you for driving me crazy and thank you always making me see how incredible it is with what I have in front of me...

You.
