Birthday Wishes to A Special Someone Far, Far Away

Happy Birthday, you old man!  I wish we could be with you to celebrate this day together, but alas, it is not to be.  So here is a small, feeble gesture of celebrating some of the life you have lived up to this point...you have so much to be proud of!

Baby Jed:

 

Marine Corps days:

Missionary service for two years in Mexico:

Self-designated "Dress-up Days" at work in the Alzheimer's Unit where I first met you (it's easy to see why I fell for this guy, right?):

Martial Arts Tournaments:

Swearing in as a new police officer:

Starting a new family of your own:

Proudly still serving your country today:

Happy Birthday, Jed!  We love you very much!  Keep your head down and come home safe to us.
