A very special Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to a very special man, PHIL!!

Phil moved to Tennessee in 2002 and I couldn't be happier that he made the move.



We worked at the same hospital for 3 1/2 years before we finally hooked up in 2006. Ask him and he will tell you it's because I ignored him and wouldn't talk (I'm very shy) ask me and I'll tell you it's because I was busy WORKING and he never paid much attention to me. Regardless of who's story you believe, I'm just thankful for him making the move and the great pick up line he tossed at me. It worked, maybe some day I'll do a post on pick up lines and use his as the #1.

We share so much in common. Our love of music and arts. We are both creative souls and dreamers. We are lucky to live in a town that is known as Music City USA. Most think of country music when they think of Nashville, but one trip downtown on any night or day of the week and you soon discover there is so much more than Country Music.

Phil and I out on the town with some friends. We love going out and listening to the local undiscovered highly talented singer/songwriters.


Phil is the nicest and most caring person I know. He is unselfish and very giving. His humor and outlook on life keep me smiling. He is a very upbeat and a positive soul. He never meets a stranger and is always the life of the party. We are polar opposites here, as I have said before I'm the quite one and somewhat shy, especially in a crowd. But, it is one of the things that attracted me to him. His outgoing personality.

How could I resist this cheesy grin?

Last night we went out to celebrate his B'Day. After a nice dinner at "Cabana's" we went to "The Listening Room" a music venue in Nashville. Jenny Gill, Vince Gill's daughter, was performing. We had seen her before and both were very impressed with her vocals. Her style is blues/rock with a hint of country. She sang some original material as well as Bonnie Raitt, Bill Withers and Stevie Wonder. She also sang "Happy Birthday" to Phil and introduced him to her father. He was on cloud nine all night and today.

Thanks Phil for always being there for me and I look forward to spending the next 46 years with you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Kris
