Twenty Four

When I was young, I would often write down qualities I'd expect my future husband to have. ...qualities that were almost necessary. I never thought, however (only could imagine), that I'd have such a thoughtful, romantic, creative husband. And for this, I am grateful (I know...I'm a broken record).

Birthday #24 was a definite treat. Before each little gift or outing for the day, Cliff had a little invitation that looked like this:

It's little things like this that make me stop and think to myself, "Really?! I'm a LUCKY girl."

Cliff woke me up with breakfast in bed and the video shown below in the previous post. Breakfast in bed: EGGS BENEDICT! My absolute favorite, which is also a special-occasion-only food. First time for him to make it (it's tough to do by yourself, because you do everything at once). Hollandaise sauce makes me a happy girl.

Then we went to the gym, came home, showered, and he gave me my next invitation saying I had a noon appointment for a pedicure and manicure. OOOOOhhh what this does to a woman. I felt brand spankin' new.

When I got home, he gave me the next invitation and a bunch of gifts. One of the gifts was a kite, and we took Stone to the park to fly our kite in the beautiful spring weather.



Then, Jon and Kaylene watched Stone, and we went out to dinner and a movie (thanks J & K for watching him!). We got home, and when I thought the day was all over, I had one last invitation for a movie at home (if you didn't know, we really like movies). The invitation accompanied the newly released Twilight (which he stood in line for at midnight on my birthday!) and one last gift. Man, do I have the best husband ever. He really made a production of my birthday, and celebrated the whole day. He put so much thought into every detail. Twenty four has treated me VERY well thus far. Thank you, babe, for the most wonderful day. I loooooove you soooo much!!!
