I love this man
Birthday Week: or Why I should never complain about anything in my life, ever
Last Thursday birthday week commenced. Husband came home with my birthday present, a brand new digital camera. The significance of this is not just that it's a KICK ASS digital camera that I have not put down since. The real present is that I had just casually mentioned to him a few weeks ago that he should ask his camera savy friend about which cameras we could actually afford because it might be nice to have a new one sometime. Hint, hint hint. Lady's and gentlemen my husband took the birthday hint. So on Friday he emails me and says: "How about we spend all day together on Saturday just you and me. We'll go to breakfast, play with the dogs, go take some pictures, whatever you want to do." So I'm like hell yeah! Birthday week kicks ass! So on saturday we slept late, snuggled with the dauggers, went to breakfast, went exploring, went shopping, and got hungry for dinner. So Husband says: "Why don't we go to that Thai restaurant you like. I'm in the mood for Thai food." So I'm like sure sounds great to me. And we go to the restaurant and we park and I'm like, "Hey that sure looks like Cheri's car". And we walk in and "SURPRISE"! A surprise party!!!! For me!!!! Planned by Husband!!!!! How kick ass is that!? It's not even a monumentous birthday! And again, the significance of this is not just that he PLANNED A BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR ME. But that the last time we ate there was in February when I mentioned that it would be a fun place to have a birthday party. Ladies and Gentlemen I have a husband that listens to what I say and actually cares. I realize that the feminist view (this is BFF talking to me in my head again) is that that's the least I should expect from a relationship. But the reality is that a lot women don't have that amount of love and respect and communication in their relationships. And I am DAMN lucky to have it. The best part is that it comes out in different ways every day. I don't have to wait for special occasions for him to tell me that he loves me, that he is happy, that he is content with our life together. What more could a girl ask for? I love you Husband. Thank you for choosing to make your life with me. I am the lucky one.
