Today is Darling Wife's birthday. She's out to visit Earl and for a few minutes of quiet time by herself, I'm finishing up preparations for the dozen or so folks who are coming over tonight to help me wish her a happy 30th.

Gave her the box I made for her birthday shortly after midnight last, and she loved it for all the reasons I'd hoped she would.

Life is good. I am fortunate. My heart is full.
