Happy Birthday!

Today was Scott's 25th birthday (Woohoo for lower car insurance rates!!), and we decided to be brave and venture out to Red Lobster with our little Monkey. She did fabulous and slept in her carseat the whole time! And I learned something new, apparently restaurants have these cool infant seat holder things so that the carseat can be at table level without having to move the kiddo. Nice! Scott wouldn't let me tell the waiter it was his birthday, so no free desert for him. Personally, I would have risked being sung to if it meant free desert...but that's just me. :-P After dinner we went to Half Price Books and Game Stop so Scott could shop...that was his birthday present this year. Those stores are to him like clothing stores are to me, and I quite frequently just ask for a spending allowance to buy more clothes for my birthday in lieu of actual gifts...shopping IS my gift! So we did the same thing for him this year. We were both happy: he got to go to two of his favorite stores and buy stuff, and I didn't have to tote a 2 week old around by myself trying to find a birthday gift for Daddy beforehand! Win-win!

Happy birthday to my dear husband!! I am thankful for the seven (and a half--I was in Turkey that first year, so does it count??) birthdays I've had the opportunity to celebrate with you and hope we have many many more together (like, at LEAST fifty more, okay?)!!!

EDIT: We also had a mini celebration at home on the 3rd, but since I wasn't feeling well our mothers stepped in and made dinner and my dad made a cake...okay, Bashas made a cake, my dad went and got it. :-P I had fully intended on making one myself, but I just HAD to come down with a stupid fever that day (another story). Anywho, Sloppy Joes and chocolate cake were enjoyed by all. :-) Even Monkey joined us at the table in her little rocking chair (on top of the coffee table, lol)!


I felt bad for not doing more, but Scott reassured me he had a good birthday anyway. I guess there was only so much I could do with a 2 week old. Perhaps I can make up for it next year. :-)
