Well it is July 15, 2008. That means Kellee is 28 years old. Just hitting her prime. To celebrate the joyous occasion of her birth I decided to (in my best engineerese) build a bullet point list of the reason I love Kellee and the reasons she is likely the greatest wife in the world. The last part of the last sentence is supposed the be read in an ascending carnival announcer type voice if you know what I mean.
- Obviously at the top of the list is Kellee's amazing, otherworldly ability to put up with the daily exasperations of one Courtney Coates. Superhuman really.
- I never have to wash my own clothes.
- I never have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed the babies.
- Kellee laughs at all my stupid jokes, not stupid jokes, and wanderings of my random mind.
- Kellee (as the fine accountant that she is) take care of the books as well as all tax returns.
- Kellee doesn't complain when I don't finish a project and start another. This happens more than I would like people to know. I still have a pallet of top caps to put on my block wall I finished last summer.
- She will go camping with me in my super old, not super nice camp trailer. (It's probably because the toilet works.)
- She doesn't get mad at me when I touch the sisters at inappropriate times which unfortunately is probably way to often. (Author Edit: I didn't realize some of us grew up in a monastery like my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Lyndsey and Jeremy, but my reference to the "sisters" referred to Kellee's mammary glands sorry for the confusion.)
- She teaches our children all the things they should know.
- She has way more patience with the kids than I do.
There are way more but I don't think I want to post some of them (too personal) and shouldn't post some of them (too personal if you catch my drift).
Kellee, I love you and thanks so much for spending the last ten years with me. It has been an adventure and if we are lucky the fun will just keep on rolling. I can't think of anyone else I would rather spend the eternity with. Hope you have a great birthday.
Love ya,
Courtney (Kellee, you know what I say here)
