Also, have you entered to win 2 tickets to the Cleveland Chef’s Gala? Today is your last chance, so check it out! Remember you can tweet daily for additional entries.***

Happy birthday, Matthew!

Today is a day to celebrate all the wonderful that you are: loving, sensitive, funny, compassionate, talented, and one of the few people who truly gets me.

So, relax, enjoy, and do all the things you like the best.

May this year bring you all the happiness that you bring me every single day!

I love you! XOXO
