Happy 68th Birthday, Doug!
What a milestone today is! My sweet husband turns 68—wow, time flies! We had a lovely start with a simple dinner last night with Jagger and Ty. Nothing fancy, just a cozy meal of wedge salads with chili. It’s always so nice to have the boys around, especially on a special day like today.
Of course, Doug was hoping for a birthday miracle with the Broncos and Buffs, but unfortunately, neither team gave him the win he was hoping for. There’s still hope, though—he’s holding out for the Broncos’ last chance against Kansas City (and the referees, of course). We’ll see what happens!
Today, we’ll be saying see you in a week to Jagger, who’s heading off to California at 3 p.m. to spend time with Ava and her family for New Years. We’ll drop him off at the Eagle Airport around 2:30 for his flight.
Tonight, the celebration continues…Marty and Melanie, Davy and Abbey, and Ben and Eleni will all join us for a bigger dinner to celebrate Doug’s big day. I’m cooking ribs, filets, potato krack (Doug’s favorite), green beans, and a fresh salad. For dessert, we’ll have German chocolate cake with either homemade butter brickle ice cream or vanilla. Hopefully, it’s going to be a delicious evening!
Of course, Ty will be back by to celebrate his dad as well. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful family.
We are all so grateful for your kindness, strength, and love. You make our lives better in every way, and I feel so lucky to spend my life with you. Here’s a picture of a 1-year-old Doug—how adorable is he?
If you talk to Doug today, please wish him a very happy birthday! We love you so much, sweetheart. Here’s to many more years of happiness, health, and love. XOXO L
