¿Cómo Usted Dice "Happy Birthday?"

It's been three years now since Gaby has joined our family. For those of you who don't know, Jeff met Gaby through a mutual friend. From the beginning, we all knew their relationship was built to last, as they seem perfect for one another. They both enjoy regular exercise, eating healthy and keeping their teeth an immaculate white. Gaby, who's native language is Spanish, has often times been the center of attention at family get togethers. We often times find enjoyment in asking her to translate titles of American television shows to Spanish (my personal favorite is for "Diff'rent Strokes." In Paraguay it's called "Negro y Blanco," which translates to "Black & White." There was an even funnier one for "The A Team," but I can't remember what it is right now).

Needless to say, Spanish has always somewhat intrigued me. I took a stab at learning the language while in junior high school. After having failed it twice, I finally decided that I preferred to be left in the dark. But after having met Gaby, I decided it was time to climb back on the horse. I secretly began to take night classes with the hope of one day sending her a birthday greeting. Here goes:

Feliz Cumpleaños Gaby. Espero que usted tenga un buen año y que usted es feliz con mi hermano, Jeff. Seriamente sin embargo, es bueno que él encontró a alguien para colocar abajo con. Él era siempre picky, así que es un honor que él le eligió. Usted lo hace feliz y usted es la mejor cosa que él ha visto siempre. Espero que usted tenga un niño pequeño pronto de modo que Audrey tenga un primo con quien ella pueda crecer para antedicho. Eso sería bueno.

En cualquier caso, feliz cumpleaños otra vez. ¡Nosotros todo el amor usted!
