Happy Birthday Mike !

Happy, happy birthday wishes to Mike !!


Make sure to send him best wishes today and good luck. He is playing in the World Series of Poker Circuit event today in Atlantic City. So, a good birthday wish would be for him to win !

In honor of this wonderful man I am marring in four months I gave him a list a wek or two ago of the reasons why I love him. Too often we forget to tell the people we love what they mean to us and how we would be lost without them.
