Today is my husband’s birthday. I think the words of the day really sum up his philosophy on life and birthdays. If you missed the quote it says,
“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”
We do our best to live life to the fullest. We understand life is short, and we know many opportunities don’t come around but once in a lifetime. We also know life is too short not to be happy.
We have been together for four birthdays. My husband always downplays his birthday but celebrates mine to the fullest. I did plan a wonderful celebration in Chicago for his big 5-0 but then, he did it again and pulled the spotlight away from himself by asking me to marry him at HIS party! This year, we will be celebrating him with many friends and family as we take a little road trip up and down the east coast. Today, we will be poolside with his favorite, margaritas and Key Lime Pie!
It’s still hard to believe that I found such an amazing guy. Together, we are a whirlwind of adventure, love, passion, and inspiration to each other. He just seems to enjoy himself. Being around him is comfortable and easy and his kindness is appreciated by all of those around him.
Today is a chance to say to him that I am proud to be your wife. I feel so fortunate and honored to have you not only as my husband but also as my best friend. You have brought joy, purpose, and laughter to my life. Being by your side has made me a better person. Thank you for all that you do and for always having my back. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
Happy Happy Birthday my Prince.
In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Some days I don’t feel like cooking or spending a lot of time in the kitchen. So I think what can I eat. I know I need a protein, carb, and healthy fat. Therefore, I mixed together in a frying pan the following ingredients and it was pretty good! It didn’t take long at all.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 red pepper
- 1 small onion
- 1 cup mushrooms
- Instead of Nature Seasons I used a new spice from DJ BBQ
- 1-2 TBSP ground flaxseed
Stacy’s Suggestions and Preparation
- Spray pan with olive oil.
- Brown ground turkey.
- Add veggies.
- Add ground flaxseed.
- Add spices. Bohemian Rubsody is really good!!
- Stir frequently over medium heat until veggies are the way you like them.
- Put on a plate or in a bowl.
- You could also put this mixture over cauliflower rice or mashed for extra veggies.
- Enjoy!
And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
