Happy Birthday MARIAH

 I never knew Mariah as a child. We didn't meet till we were in our late teens/early twenties. I don't really know what she was like as a child.














I've heard stories about her troublesome early teenage years which are almost too hard to believe. Mariah is such a kind and gentle natured person, who very rarely gets frustrated or displays any anger.
It could just be that she is so soft spoken that I don't realise that she is angry? I do know that I love her. I know that she puts 100% in to everything that she does, including our relationship.
 
Mariah often speaks about going places with her family as a child. She has fond memories of time spent in some of Tasmania's most beautiful places.
 
 
Including her grandparent's farm.
 

 
Her excitement for birthdays is like no other. I think she has more fun on other people's birthdays because of the mammoth effort that she puts in.... EVERY TIME.
 


 I think Mariah purchased this to decorate our flat for my very first birthday as a married man. We still have it. It comes out more than twice a year these days though!
 

 Tomorrow is Mariah's 31st birthday. So I thought I would write her some notes to let her know how much I love and appreciate her. Then I thought, why don't I share it with everyone.

 This is where it all started for Mariah and I.... well kind of. This was my main (most enjoyable) source of transport years ago. I took it just about everywhere. I loved to ride, and I loved to take people for rides. Mariah was one of those people. On our very first ride together we spent more time talking than riding. We hit it off.. We were gone for so long that people were starting to get worried that we may have had an accident.

From there, we spent more and more time together. We cooked for each other ( I think I did most of the cooking). Mariah did make a mean salad sandwich, which we would often share at City Park.


 We did the things that couples in love do.

 We would wish for our dreams to come true.
 

We made each other Happy....    We Cuddled a lot.




We liked to visit new places and......


 SURPRISE one another.


 Then one day.... It all happened... I asked Mariah to marry me... and she said YES!


 
 That bike was the best investment I had ever made. Being married was great... it meant that we would be together for eternity. It meant that we would always wake up next to one another.... It was like a dream come true for me....... until one morning..
 

Mariah let her hair down,

 

 

The gloves came off.....

T
 

Then back on....

 

The feet went up.....

 

It was about this time that I realised that I was in trouble. ....
 
 
 

 

BIG TROUBLE!!




And there was nothing I could do about it......

 
 


 Jokes... aside.. I have to say that being married to Mariah was the best decision I made... I hope she can say the same.


 She is always happy.....



Loves to celebrate 



Would do anything for our children.....

 Loves being outside....

 


A great example to our children .....

 


Likes good food.....
 

 
 CUTE!
 Gorgeous.
 
 Puts her family first in everything she does.









She is loved by all of us.







I hope you have a great 31st Birthday Bubby. I know that we will have fun adding more and more photos over the next 30 years. You are appreciated, loved, and adored by all of us. MWA!
