41
in England a few years agoHe's wide open and reserved, driven and gentle, disciplined and spontaneous, funny and smart. He volunteers to coach more teams than he has time for and every single teammate (especially his own kids) adores him. He has a way with teenagers that lets them know they're loved & accepted and capable of reaching higher expectations. Although he's a fantastic corporate attorney, he has the heart of a high school social studies teacher (and a secret wish to be one).
He has a weakness for southern barbecue pulled pork sandwiches, Volkswagen vanagons, vintage convertible Mustangs, spy novels, open chip bags in the pantry, and (somehow) me. He listens like no one I know (take that, Mars and Venus!). He speaks English and Danish and Russian and can interpret my own mixed signals. He's Joseph and George Bailey and Atticus Finch rolled up into one good man.
He's 41. And, remarkably, he's mine.
in NYC 2007Happy Birthday, G.

Wow, what a hubby you have! I love your writing once again. So beautiful and easy to read. That last picture of him looking in the store window is great.
How well you described your G. I think I'm half in love with him now! Happy birthday to a great, great guy. You deserve him.
That was so sweet! He sounds like a great guy...so you two are a well-matched set. Isn't it great being married to a "real man"!?
A wonderful tribute Annie. I love to see old fashioned adoration! Happy Birthday G!
Wow! 41! Time flies because it seems like just yesterday that you were having G's 30th birthday party and you had all of us bring 30 of something (I thought that was clever)! Was my life at Hanscom AFB really that long ago? I love your blog. I love how you describe your love for G. It has me thinking about how I would describe Ken.
Now I kind of love your husband, too! (Why does he speak Russian? Did he go to a Russian speaking mission?)
And because he's yours, he's also ours. I think that even if he weren't yours we would still try and find a way for him to be ours. Honorary son-in-law maybe? Happy birthday Greg!

Such a sweet tribute, and all true. And he is a true heart, a true sweetheart, a true and honest prince of a guy, and a trooper (trueper). We are grateful every day for being related to him through marriage - yours. I am encouraged by the news that they have cloned a human embryo. I have a great candidate when the company goes public. MORE GREGS, PLEASE. Love, ma
