A birthday on Valentine’s Day

I love Jane Austen’s books. Of all of them, I absolutely adore Pride and Prejudice. What a masterpiece that is! I still remember the first time I read the book... oh the power bestowed, the magic that transported me ever so delicately into the world of 1813! And of course, oh oh Mr. Darcy!!
Do you love Mr. Darcy too? I was swept off my feet by Mr. Darcy the very moment he entered my Peripheral vision! Oh lala, enamorada, in un mare di emozione, head over heels in love!! And I mean it! Then came the movie and then came Colin Firth. Things got even better then! Colin Firth was everything I had imagined Mr. Darcy to be physically and more! I was madly in love with him! ;) I so wanted to be Lizzy! ;) Well, can I tell you a little secret? I am a Lizzy. In a way I am. I am a blessed woman. I can sincerely and devotedly say that I married my own Mr. Darcy—a man that after so many years of sharing life together can still give me his best “Mr. Darcy” look and say straight into my eyes, “You have bewitched me, body and soul.”
Forever yours...
Happy Valentine’s Day dearest Mike... and a happy Happy Birthday to you!

    what a sweet post, Happy Birthday to Mike! I too love P&P, my fave Austen novel. I have to say, I disagree on the best Mr. Darcy. Matthew Macfayden from the 2005 remake with Keira Knightley is my fave. Check it out.

    First of all, Happy Birthday to your Mike.
    Can you believe I have never read Pride and Prejudice? Now because of your beautiful post, I think that will be my next read.
    I've been looking for a new book, so thank you.

    Pride and Prejudice. Oh that is my favorite to. That Miss Austen knew how to create a man. Here is to all the Mr Darcy's out there. And to your Mr. Darcy a very Happy Birthday. What a wonderful love story you have and may you each have many more birthdays to share together.

    What a sweet post. I like your wedding picture in the vignette! I confess that I, too, am obsessed with Darcy. Colin Firth did an amazing job as Darcy the BBC miniseries.

    Have a great weekend!

    Okay-After reading comments I am a bit confused (of course I AM blond)..it is your HUBBY'S Birthday though, right and not your own? If so...Happy Birthday to the special love-of-your-life, Mike! And...your wedding picture is adorable...I see you were/are a member of the long hair club! Me too~of course it is much cuter on your age than mine...but oh well..

    I read P & P in high school...but, would you believe, I have NEVER seen either of those movies that were made? I am going to have to rent that (it is a DVD I am assuming). I would love to see it!

    Happy Weekend to you, dear Clelo...(and know that I FINALLY don't have to check your name each time to see if it is I before E-except after C!;>) xxoo Diana
