Today is Ryan's birthday and he is getting old (like me). Ryan has this morbid fascination where he thinks he is going to die by age 58 (I know its so weird) so this morning as I was singing happy birthday to him he said only 25 more years to go. I just remind him to make sure he gets a big life insurance policy (I'm kidding). I told him I think he might want to talk to a counselor about this year of death thing that he always talks about. I also mentioned that I might have him locked up that year so nothing can happen to him. All I can say is that it is odd but we Meixners are not the most normal people in the world.
I have decided to have a birthday dinner for Ryan and call it "My favorite things". I have gone around the house and found things that represent joy and fun to Ryan. I plan to put all of these things in an arrangement on the dinner table. I found his Chicago cubs hat, a stuffed Llama from his Peru trip, a taxi from NYC, a picture of all of his pledge brothers from Purdue. I am also making him southern food tonight(which he requested) including Paula Deen's mac and cheese and Red Velvet cake. Hopefully Wrigley won't give Ryan any of his well known gifts which make us gag.
This time last year I flew out to suprise Ryan in Seattle (I was living in Charlotte) and we had lunch at the Space Needle. A wonderful friend gave me frequent flyer miles for first class. It was a great trip!
Happy Birthday Easter Bunny (aka Ryan).

OK. First I must say that you are a good wife. That is so nice of you to do those fun birthday things. Second, this 58 thing is a bit disturbing. I hope he never mentions such things in front of your kids someday. That will really scare them. Hope EB (LOL) had a great birthday.
