Happy Birthday Honey!

My man turns 3-0 today!!  While I think that is truly ancient (for him) it is a subtle reminder that I am not too far behind.  I wanted to throw a special birthday bash or something of significance for today but I couldn't come up with any ideas (and he said he didn't want anything).  Just one of the differences of how we were raised.  Birthdays were never a really huge deal once you hit teenager age in his house, whereas my house - it was a true celebration!  We looked forward to choosing the "birthday dinner" and having cake and ice cream surrounded by family (and sometimes friends too).   My entire family sings to the birthday person (and still calls to sing to this day) and you are showered with love for the whole day.  Who wouldn't love that, right?!  That's what I thought!!  However, my guy had a day off work yesterday and so I asked him how he would like to celebrate (albeit early) and he chose to go see a movie.  He doesn't do that often, so that was his treat.  Do you think I feel completely AWFUL for not doting on him for the entire day today?  YOU BET I DO!!  It is awful having to find a compromise between the two ways of our upbringing.  At least I can do things the way I like them for the kids.

Happy Birthday Honey!  I am so blessed to have you in my life. You truly are my little bit of comic relief in life.  Thanks for always trying to get me to laugh to make me feel better.  One of my favorite things to do is to watch you play with our children.  They love you so much!
