Happy Birthday to me! Some highlights-
1- Christopher woke up early on January 27 and told me he was going to shovel the driveway. After all, he still had to work, wife's b-day and all. I believed him in my sleepy state, and woke up to a tray of sweet rolls, fruit, hot chocolate,
and a sausage biscuit from my favorite bakery. And yes, I do rate bakeries. Breakfast in bed! The start of a wonderful birthday tradition.
2-As if breakfast with my down comforter wasn't enough, Christopher brought himself to do my Latin homework the night before, freeing me to celebrate my birthday however I wanted. Also, my Latin has never been done so thoroughly and correctly. Sad, but true.
3-Tickets to Throughly Modern Millie at BYU! The seats were great, voices fantastic, and costumes sparkly. I loved every minute.
4-Getting tired? I was too. But when we got home, before falling asleep in my crumb-covered sheets, Christopher surprised me with a gorgeous apple green 8 GB iPod and converter for my car!
5- I'm bragging. But the iPod is a real beauty. And it hasn't left my side since January 27.
6-My sisters and husband threw me an AMAZING party on Saturday. It was a murder mystery set in the 20's, complete with dozens of bottles of sparkling cider, (it was prohibition, after all), blackjack and craps, and a lovely dinner. They spent all day making it a fun night for everyone, who in turn, did a great job with costumes, and that tricky New York accent. I've never felt so loved. Thanks guys!
7-Finally, on Sunday afternoon, my sisters made another great dinner and we opened presents. My family and friends were more than generous this year, and I have so much to be grateful for. I'm happy I was born, and even more happy that other people seem to be happy about it too.
PS. As soon as I have them, I'll post some awesome birthday pictures from the big murder mystery event.
i wish i could have been there
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad. Your iPod is totally brag-worthy.
