Garth is 31 today. He is such a super person, and that makes me one lucky girl. He woke up this morning on his birthday, made Jack a bottle, then let me sleep in and brought me hot chocolate in bed. Gosh, if only everyday was his birthday!

Garth and I went to the fair this week with $37.75 in our pocket. We left with $1.25. Admission was free since it was the grand opening, and we didn’t shell out the $11 that it cost for the two of us to ride the ferris wheel once…so where did it all go?
