**27**

Happy Birthday, Cliff!!

Cliff turns the big 27 today. We are lucky to be in Arizona to celebrate his bday! We are here for a conference that Cliff is attending, which means fun time with family.

I had a strange dream the other night that we weren't married yet, and Cliff was about to be a part of an arranged marriage (strange, right?!). We kept meeting secretly along a ditch by my old home in El Paso. I remember us feeling so helpless. Then, I woke up, looked over, and there he was sound asleep. I grabbed him tight, so happy to be his.

This is one awesome, funny [*hilarious!*], hardworking man. I'm thankful every day to have him in my life.
Happy birthday, Babe!!
