Eldred Lauren Gilbert is 29!

I have to say, I wasn't sure that a man like Lauren existed...not until I met him at his house in December 2007. He had just come home from a date, early I might add, and looked and smelled delicious. His presence filled the room and drew me to him. Truly it was love at first site for me, something that I didn't believe existed.


Now, after nearly a year of having the privilege of being his wife, I continue to see and learn things about him that make me again feel so happy that he is my Eternal Companion.

Lauren is sarcastic, funny, intelligent, driven, sweet, patient, loving, supportive, understanding, somewhat humble, and has dreams that I know he will achieve. He has a passion and zest for life that will take him where he wants to go.




He makes me laugh when I feel like crying and does my papers for me when I do. He scratches my back till I fall asleep and packs my lunch almost every day.

He comes to visit me at the hospital when my hours creep into the time I should be sleeping (please note his medical pose).

He tells me he loves me every day and means it.

Lauren will do things just because it will make me laugh or just to make me happy.

He is a wonderful husband and friend. I am proud of him and respect him. I have seen how much he has grown and accomplished the past year and look forward to getting to know him as we grow together.

So on June 10...just kidding, I know it's actually on June 11 (now), I want him to know that this day is such an important day in my life because it is the day that celebrates the one who IS my life.

~Happy Birthday "G"! I love you.~
