I'm terribly late with this post (nearly 2 weeks!), but better late than never as the saying goes, right?

I'd like to thank all of you for your lovely birthday wishes for me: casey28, enablelove alwaysateen kalliel and thank you so much for the virtual gift, dizzojay!

It seems as if from the date of my birthday last month, life has been super busy and overwhelming. Hardly any time to stop and think, much less get anything accomplished online. I'll spare you the details, but let's just say things were quiet and then it seemed like everything was happening at once! It's now culminated with me having an aching back every day for the past couple of weeks. Fun! Must be all the tension/stress.

Anyway...enough about me. This post is supposed to be about all of the wonderful people who left me lovely LJ posts & messages to wish me a happy birthday last June 13th.

Hope I was successful in thanking you all back and didn't miss anybody. Please let me know if I've omitted anyone. I don't deserve such wonderful people as my friends. ♥

This man is beautiful inside & out, has loads of talent, is incredibly handsome, charming, and funny. He's brought to life some very interesting and memorable characters, none moreso than the one and only, Dean Winchester. I'm so thankful for the times I got to meet him in person. He was always so lovely and kind. I wish him nothing but the best in life and a very happy birthday at home with his family! :D

You all ROCK! Mwah! ♥ :D

How can I describe my appreciation and love of Jensen Ackles? It's difficult because I know others out there can describe Jensen's many wonderful attributes more eloquently than me. He's so handsome and gosh darned talented in so many ways. It seems like he masters everything he tries. His acting is beautiful, his face full of expressions, his eyes oh, so soulful. Jensen can sing like a rockstar and commands the stage. He's a natural leader and a born storyteller. His voice is distinctive and sexy. He's also smart, humorous, and utterly adorable & charming. *dreamy sigh* He's...just about perfect!

So for Jensen's 41st birthday, I thought I'd take a look at where my SPN con photos began with Jensen...and where they've ended. On the left column of photos is VanCon 2009 and on the right, VanCon 2018. The 2018 photos have never been posted before. A big difference in quality between the 2 years. But then, back in 2009 I was sitting way back in row H, on the right aisle seat, and using a camera that was totally new to me. After 9 years of cons, I had moved up to row C, near the center, and I'd learned better settings on my camera. Jensen, of course, was as gorgeous and photogenic as ever. :)

Today we celebrate the birthday of one of the kindest souls and generous people alive. Before SPN, I watched and loved Jared on Gilmore Girls. As Rory's first and sweetest boyfriend, Dean, I always felt he was the best match for her. Jared made Dean likable right from the start and that didn't change in the recent GG Revival. As the cursed-by-demon-blood Sam Winchester, Jared shines with strength and compassion and wisdom.

But what I appreciate is Jared himself. He's so sweet and kind in person and he gives the best hugs! I so admire how he opened up about his struggles with depression and created the AKF campaign that has helped so many, myself included. I sort of threw this little picspam together, so I hope it does our birthday boy justice.

Happy 35th Birthday Jared!!!




( Caps this way! )

I first saw Jensen on Dark Angel in Season 1 when he played the out of control, Ben. Even then he had something special. You couldn't wait to see what he would do next. Then they brought him back as a regular in Season 2, as Alec. He was rough around the edges, but totally lovable. After that I sort of lost track of Jensen until SPN began. He was the whole reason I started watching the new show, but I was intrigued by the story and these 2 brothers. By the time Dean was fighting for his life in "Faith", I was totally hooked. Jensen has made Dean Winchester one of the most interesting characters on TV. A lovable jerk, with a fierce family loyalty, and heroism running through his veins, who will do anything to save the innocent from the evil things in the darkness. Constantly self-tortured, Dean never feels he's good enough or worth saving, but his pride and joy is equally his brother, Sam, and his beloved Impala.

Of course, once I became enamored with SPN, I went back and watched Jensen on DOOL, Smallville, and a few other early roles. His talent is undeniable, but then you toss in his perfectly gorgeous good looks, devilish charm, wicked sense of humor, and gentle, caring way, and you've got a guy who seems to be just about the most perfect male on the planet. Plus he sings and plays guitar! An amazing husband and father, a great friend, a brother, a son. He's a gifted director and whether behind the camera or on a stage he commands attention and easily steps up into a leadership role. On top of all that, when he's speaking or listening to you it's as if he's looking right into your very soul. And his smile lights up a room! How can you not love him???

I could fill a book with all the praise over Jensen, but I'll digress to the pretty of the man himself. *g*
Below the cut is a big collection of my photos of Jensen from all the VanCons since 2009 and SeaCon from 2015. I feel so fortunate to have seen Jensen in person so many times. Like me, my camera loves him and it's always focusing on his physical beauty, while showing us what a beautiful person he is inside.
Happy 39th Birthday, Jensen! ♥ :)





( Lots of images of our birthday boy! )

It's a special day to celebrate a wonderful man who is not only handsome and multi-talented, but an amazing and beautiful person inside and out. When Jensen Ackles was born 37 years ago today, something aligned perfectly in the universe. He has perfectly muscular and toned arms, emerald eyes that reach right into your soul when he looks at you, a laugh that sounds like pure joy and a smile that lights up any room.

He is truly "like staring into the sun"...blindingly beautiful in almost every way. Not just a pretty face: he directs, acts, sings, and even dances. It seems like everything he tries comes easily to him, yet he loves challenging himself as well. I could go on*, but I'll let my photos of Jensen over the years speak for themselves. There just happen to be 37, btw. A little trip down memory lane over past VanCon photos (yrs 2009-2012). Enjoy!

* Plus, I am dead tired (& way late for bed) and even I have a hard time waxing poetic about Jensen when I'm exhausted, so you'll have to forgive my brevity.
