Alright everybody… This is Stephen, Annette’s “DH” (dear husband), hacking into her blog and posting to Works for Me Wednesday to wish her a happy 33rd birthday, and to ask you to leave a comment here telling her the same! As I type this, she’s laying on the bed next to me, sound asleep, dreaming that her birthday won’t be tarnished by the blasted, evil morning-sickness that has struck her in the last 48 hours. ):
Let me just go on record saying Annette is a fantastic mom (much better than she gives herself credit for here at More Lucy), and an even better partner-in-life. I am luckier than any other guy out there, and you can’t convince me otherwise.
BTW, did you know she’s OLDER THAN ME?
For her birthday, she wants a Swiffer wet-jet, Barnes and Noble gift cards, and a DustBuster. I wish I were kidding about the cleaning equipment, but I’m not. There’s no way on God’s green earth that I would buy her either of those items for her birthday, so if you’re out and about and want to grab her one or the other, she’ll probably instantaneously become your bff. She also likes Starbucks, dollar stores, Target, iTunes, and Marshalls. (:
I love you, Annette! I hope you have a wonderful, memorable day!


Happy Birthday, Annette!! Hope you get your Swiffer and maybe even a PedEgg!)
Happy Birthday, Annette!! I think you are awesome and am praying you have NO sickness today. Do you remember wayyyyyyyyy back in the day knowing one another? Look how far we’ve come! I totally agree with Stephen–you deserve so much more credit than you give yourself here–just another attribute about you everyone loves–your humility (let alone your humor, beauty, thriftiness & so much more). Anyway, enjoy this day & your family–and guess what–I’m older than BJ, too
Happy Birthday sweet Annette! I hope today is as special as you are! I hate that you are having morning sickness…that’s just sick!
P.S. I can’t WAIT to hang out with you soon…I forgot how much I love your company…since it’s been like 10 years or something?
Hope you get what you wish for today…even the cleaning SUPPLIES!!
HAPPY YOU.DAY! Forget the swiffer, maybe Stephen will hire you a maid for a year. : ) Another option would be to strap some unused diapers to Caia’s knees and squirt some cleaning stuff on the floor then leave a trail of cheerios. Okay, I’m totally kidding (if you try it would you shoot some video?)
happy b-day, girl! remember, willmingtons and parris’, church plant in Manhattan, 2030! get ready!
love you guys.
