Happy birthday husband-o-mine!

(***Pretend I was a little more on top of my game and actually posted this on March 3rd instead of just giving it that date. Sorry babe... yesterday was a little crazy around here.)

March 3rd is Patrick's birthday. In honor of the occasion, here are some interesting facts about him/his birth date:





Patrick is the tallest human structure in the Gilgour household - The tallest free-standing structure in the Southern Hemisphere, Sky Tower in downtown Auckland, New Zealand, opened after 2.5 years of contruction on 3/3/1997.


Patrick loves U.S. History - The United States officially adopted The Star-Spangled Banner as its national anthem on 3/3/1931. (Above is a picture of Patrick's twin on the Korean War memorial in D.C. I've witnessed it people. It looks a lot like him, especially when his hair is longer.)







Patrick likes rock and roll music - Jackie Brenston recorded "Rocket 88", often cited as the first rock and roll record, at Sam Phillips' recording stuidios in Memphis, TN on 3/3/1951. (Above pictures of Patrick at a John Fogerty concert.)


Patrick was born in Missouri - Congress passed the Missouri Compromise on 3/3/1820. (Above is a picture of Patrick in Missouri. Isn't he cute?)






And this is us about to go to a formal my senior year of college. Not related to his birthday. I just like it.
I love you Patrick! Happy birthday!
