I love Paris. I love it with all my heart. But, the experience of sharing Paris with my husband has been on a completely different level. I have stayed in Paris and visited Paris numerous times, but never with a man. It has been a different experience, but fun to see Paris through his eyes.
My husband is a great guy who loves to stay in the background, is intense, kind, opinionated, driven, loyal, hard working, my biggest fan, possesses character, and most importantly is downright FUN. I could not have imagined that three-plus years ago I would meet this great guy on Craigslist, yes Craiglist. Think on that for a minute. But, I did. Wet met in October 2007 and in two months after meeting were traveling around Spain. Since 2007 we have visited numerous destinations which involved getting engaged in Egypt and married almost three years to the day of our first date. I want to wish this great guy a beautimous and happy birthday! He woke up this morning in the City of Lights, my home town Paris, and his next living location (I still need to give him details on how we are going to make this happen). I hope you have enjoyed Paris as much as I have enjoyed being your personal tour guide.
To my husband. I hope your birthday year is filled with joy, health, happiness, good friends, food, wine, beer, and most of all love! To the man who wanted a passport full of stamps and a lifetime of love and travel, Bonne Anniveraire.
Bisous - your wife, amoreux, friend, and travel partner, Julia.

I met you two during an Egyptian Nile cruise which you took on your way home from the World Cup in South Africa. I live vicariously through your blog. You two are fabulous. Bonne Anniversaire indeed!
