And as her husband, who's spent 8 or 9 of those years at her side, I feel I'm in a pretty solid position to offer some objective opinions about how friggin' awesome she is! (can you say "friggin'" on these blogs? First post.)
But rather than ooze on an on about how great she is like those newlyweds used to do in our first BYU married ward (eyes rolling), let me keep it short and simple by giving quick props to just two of the many things I love about my wife--her culinary acumen and her one-of-a-kind fun personality.
Just to help you understand her dedication to all things food--Suzy asks for cook books and kitchen appliances for Christmas and her Birthday and the best part is--she's sincere in her requests. How sweet is that, especially for a "what's in it for me" guy, like myself. She makes me (close your eyes during this part mom) NOT long for my mom's cooking, sorry mom. AND she cooks so well it's kind of taken the fun out of eating out at fancy restaurants. Thank you Suzy for teaching me what "capers" were at 24 and how to eat stinky expensive cheese at 30.
As for her personality, Suzy is not simply my comical equivalent or intellectual equal, she always seems to "one up" me, but in a good way--in a way where life never has a chance to get dull and the conversation is never boring. Suzy is totally unique and is always game when fun's to be had. And for that I love her.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUZY and I think I speak for all of us who know you well enough to read your blog that the world would not be as bright and wonderful without you.
HAPPY 32!!!

Happy Birthday...I knew we had a lot in common. I too ask for cook books, appliances and spices for Christmas and Birthdays...and I'm a completely happy Heterosexual man with a 3 kids at home.
