Happy Birthday Jules

I was a bit angsty about moving back to my hometown after living in Austin and traveling the east coast. I was a bit apprehensive about starting/joining a writer's group. I was absolutely sure that no one stuck in this town was as sophisticated and worldly as I....but I would press on...

I met Jules. Someone entirely more worldly and sophistated than I...and if you can imagine? ALMOST a bigger vocabulary....jury is still out on that one!

I met the epitome of "dynamite in a small package"...she's hugely "cute"...and at times "unworldly beautiful"...she's a sprite and a siren and pulls them both off with equanimity.

Always quick with witticism or a quip...followed by proufound wisdom and spritituality.

She's self effacing and strong.

She slams you at the same time she supports you...and you love her for it.

She admits to insecurities only after she's gotten over it...but she's also strong enough to ask for what she needs up front from a friendship, or a marriage...and it ain't much:

be honest
be open
be there
don't bullshit me
listen to me
don't take my love/affection for granted...because I don't give it freely
love me

Trust me...that's ALL she asks, and how many people can we say that about?

She's in your face..she's got your back, she's extremely beyond intelligent...she's confident and scared to death....

She's honestly a woman I aspire to be.

I wish you guts knew her...and I'd link her blog if I had her permission.

She's jules, she's amazing.
An Amazing wife with a wonderful husband...
two BEAUTIFUL girls....
An awesome writer...
and an the bestest girlfriend, even though she doesn't always tell you what you want to hear! She gives it to you straight...

Today is her birthday, and I've stressed awhile how to pay tribute to her majesty (and adjective, she is majestic...not a personal pronoun!)

I hope just letting you all know my admiration for her; her combination of strength and compassion; beauty and brawn...might do it.

I'm so blessed for knowing her...good job God.

Happy Birthday Jules....I love you.
