happy birthday

dear emil,
happy birthday my love.  you truly are one of a kind.  who else....
-meets an italian man in an elevator in cambodia, compliments the italian for looking dapper and is literally given a dolce & gabana suit off the man's back
-gets suckered in to performing a vaudeville act in front of our entire antarctic cruise ship by a 95 year old grandma named marge
-gets deathly ill while trekking to machu picchu and gets out wildernessed by his wife who under normal circumstances considers anything beyond a ritz carlton roughing it 
-wears a sarong around the streets of bali like it is no big deal
-transitions seamlessly from wall street high rollin to a life of 50 cent beers, $35 hotels and train rides from hell.  if your friends could see you now... 
i love you!
xo,
laurel
