Ben is 35!

before i write your official 35th birthday post, i have to post about your race. i can't believe i didn't do it sooner. i'm so sorry, but chase was only 4 weeks old at the time. please forgive me.


the tour of the white mountains was on october 1, 2011. you injured yourself just before i had chase. we think that it was your it band. you were still determined to do this race. i was worried you were going to aggrevate the injury. but i understood. you had already put in so much hard work training.


you completed and you did better than your last mountain bike race and i am so proud of you!


so you're 35 now! another year older, another year hotter! we met when you were 15. started dating when you were 17. married when you were 21 (i was 20). we were babies. i look at our engagement photo on our wall and...wow, we were babies. let's keep growing up together, mmmk? then one day, when we're looking back at the photo above we will say, "wow, we were babies."



does 35 mean you're officially middle aged? i don't know when that happens. i figure since you're hitting these landmarks before me, you can tell me when it happens. i'm going through this journey with you, but you do it so well that i can't visibally see it happening to you. so you tell me when it hits. it was just a couple of months ago that i told you, "i don't think that we're a young married couple anymore." it's funny. i don't know when we weren't a young married couple anymore. one day i just had the realization that we weren't. thanks for making me feel like we are still a young married couple...i keep falling more and more in love with you even though i don't think i can be any more in love with you. how do you do that to me?!
