Happy 30th, Ry!

I wish I knew adequate words to describe the feelings in my heart for you. I love you. That's a good start. I think that you're an amazing man and incredible husband and father. I can see that you are trying to do your best in all your endeavors and that you're always seeking to improve in the area of marriage and fatherhood. You magnify your callings and you work hard in all that you do. This is particularly evident in your efforts with coaching and teaching. Those kids are so blessed to have you as their coach and teacher. You seek the Spirit in your choices and as a daily influence. When you fall, you pick yourself up, make amends if necessary, and continue to press forward.

Above all, you've shown me great forgiveness and love. You've comforted me and listened and helped me to see the light in the dark. Your testimony inspires me to do better. More and more, I find myself falling in love with you.

Wherever you are is home to me. Something about your presence makes me feel safe. Something about your lying next to me makes me sleep soundly and peacefully. Something about spending time with you and your input in our conversations makes me so happy and feel complete. Something about your embrace and the way you look into my eyes makes my heart swollen with love, passion, and joy.

I have so much love for you, and look forward to each day that we have together.

Forever yours,

Keri

"Feels Like Home"
CHANTAL KREVIAZUK

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks, down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see, through the dark there is light
Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
