Tony is 50 today! Tony and I met when he was 39, so I’ve been lucky enough to spend both his 40th and 50th birthday with him!
I won’t embarrass him with a lot of pictures when he was little (for the simple fact I don’t have many!) but this picture is one of my favorites of him. It’s funny, up until about sophomore in high school, he was the smallest kid on the team, but he finished high school at 6 feet 2 inches!
And we’ve been through a lot these last ten years! We got married, moved into a new home, Tony’s had three knee replacement surgeries and heart surgery! I feel I was meant to be with him to help him go through the hard times – I can’t even imagine him going through them without me actually!
And while we’ve had our ups and downs these past ten years, we always go to bed at the end of the day happy to have found each other. We are the perfect fit for each other.
One of the first things I loved about Tony was his sense of humor – he makes me laugh! On the first email he sent me he said “I am a divorced father of a 10 year old son. I am Italian and proud that I have no back hair and have separate eyebrows!” That made me laugh out loud!
And he loves me for who I am. Whenever I talk about losing weight, he always tells me “you are doing that because you want to, because I think you are beautiful!” How lucky am I?
You are a wonderful father!
So I have the day off today! We plan on getting some good deli sandwiches around the Northbrook area with Hannah and then he and I are going out for sushi for dinner.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONY! I love you more every day I know you. 😀
Come back tomorrow for my ultimate carrot cake and broccoli mac n cheese recipe.
Also, don’t forget to vote for my Foodbuzz Food Blog Entry – the link is here.
Tomorrow I am also joining Steve’s Hot 100 – tomorrow marks only 100 days left of the year – check it out! I’ve been noticing that since I haven’t been taking pictures of everything I’ve eaten this last week, um, let’s just say they haven’t all been the best choices!
Have a great day!
Aw, you guys are adorable!!
Happy Birthday Tony – hope you two enjoy his special day :).

Happy birthday, Tony! You two are so freaking adorable together! Ditto to Veronica’s comment that you are a shining example of the very definition of marriage. Together through the ups and downs and are best friends. That’s the way it should be. 🙂 Sounds like you guys have planned an awesome day together!
I have chills, it is so nice to read such a lovely account of your marriage.
Happy Bday to your man.

So I came back to get the Food Buzz link and read through the comments… Tyler’s comment is making me laugh my butt off!
Tyler – your comment made me laugh out loud too! 😀
Happy Birthday Tony! I’m so glad you found such a great guy. Now if he could only change those white sox to red he’d be perfect although I guess living in Chicago might make that hard to do. Love all the photos! Time to celebrate!
I am a big baby because I am crying over this post! HA!
You two are such a cute couple, so glad you found each other. 🙂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONY!!!! <3
