My Much Better Half

Today is theeeee day! It is my husband’s birthday. My friends and family know how much he fills our world with his love, compassion for others, sense of humor, laughter, generosity, and wit. He is the father of my two wonderful sons and the grandfather of our two precious grandchildren. He is my much better half whom I love to the moon and back. He is celebrating his birthday with his childhood friend this morning and with me tonight! We are going to his favorite steakhouse to celebrate. Any suggestions where we could vacation for his birthday gift? ~Photo was taken at our younger son’s wedding~

Happy Birthday to your husband Dianne. You have visited so many places, may be a vacation somewhere in a place you never visited.

@DianneN I also would choose a warm place, it's not a season for cold countries.

@DianneN I was so stressed yesterday evening that I decided that for dinner I wanted a (big) Martini and olives, nothing else. I have slept like a baby.

Thank you! It’s so hard to choose, and it must be a nice and warm place. Still thinking about it.

@DianneN I would be looking forward to a lovely steakhouse dinner too . You guys should come to LA - we can hit up a beach area like Malibu or in the other direction like Newport - we can all celebrate!

That is a lovely photo and a very happy birthday to your husband. Uluru might be a good choice and it's bound to warm there.

Thanks Judy. He had such a wonderful day from morning until now - almost bedtime here. That’s what counts in my book. I will look up Uluru. I never heard of it until you mentioned it. The name alone sounds quite exotic!

Wow, happiest birthday to your husband. The best gift will be your time to be spent with him on a vacation indeed. Maybe you can go to Maldives for a vacation. Hey, are you dancing in the picture?

Thanks so much! I’ll ask him about the Maldives, and yes, we were introduced as the groom’s parents and had to dance our way out onto the floor. You should have seen the rest.

You both look great in the photo. Happy Birthday your husband! Depending on how far you want to travel, how about a trip down under to Sydney to see the sites.

Thank you, Marie. We’ve been to beautiful Austria, but my husband hasn’t been to the Smokies. It may be too cold this time of year, and you know how I feel about cold!

Happy birthday to your husband, and may God bless him with a long and healthy life so he continues sharing great moments with you and his loved ones. I love that dress you wore in that event, its colour is beautiful. I am not a huge lover of green colors, but this one worked out successfully! I hope you have a great time with him! Save us some cake, please! I am kidding, have fun!

Hi DianneN. Happy belated birthday to your husband. I believe both of you already retired. It will be great if you could visit China once in a life time. Probably you will be interested to view the ecotravel there as there have many beautiful scene. Although I have never visit to that country but it is one of my dream destination. Due to language barrier, it will better to join tour company to there as they can explain everything to you in English and you also able to learn some Chinese and culture of the country. Share your birthday vacation to us too.
