I picked up Mike from work that evening and he and I and the kids went out to eat. We wanted to go to ice cream afterwards, and ended up at Baskin Robbins. I decided that I wanted an ice cream cake. We brought that home and after a 10 minute search for candles, we found a "3" and a "4" candle from Colin's past birthdays. I knew those candles would come in handy someday. Whoops! Did I just give away my age? Oh well!
I got the two presents I asked for...Mike actually listened this year! All in all, it was a good birthday. Mike mentioned the week before that on Saturday we would go out by ourselves, but of course he never called a babysitter. On Saturday afternoon, I called a good friend of ours and they graciously said they would come over and watch the kids. I made dinner that night and then we went out to see a movie and that was it.
Things I have learned over the years (that I have been married) about my birthday:
1. I just need to do all the planning myself from now on.
2. If I want a birthday cake, I just need to make it myself.
3. Just give a list of things you want for your birthday to your husband.
the kids couldn't keep their fingers off the cake...they loved the frosting. I think the look on my face says it all.
You look great! Happy Birthday. The first two years we were married, I didn't get a birthday present from my husband. Then I decided to stop getting upset, and I started buying my own gifts. Now he's better at getting gifts after a lot of coaching. I've seen over the years that birthdays just aren't a big deal in his family. So that helped me understand it a little better. These husbands are lucky to have us. :)
