Yesterday we celebrated my husband’s birthday. Actually, the day before yesterday we celebrated it too! My husband is one spoiled guy. 😉 Two days ago I got a babysitter for the older three and took my husband and youngest child out to eat. We went to a restaurant we had never been to before. It was located right on the river inside of a hotel, and we seriously had the best time. I got a burger and some fries, and my husband got salmon. Little Boo ate half my fries and the bread. Not super balanced for a meal, but he was happy and quiet, so that’s what mattered. You guys, we had the best time. We don’t get out much as a couple, but when we do we cherish the time we spend together.
Yesterday for my husband’s actual birthday the kids and I blew up a million balloons and hung them up on the ceiling. Of course, since my kids are still so little, I had to blow every single one up by myself. On about the 357,899th balloon I started feeling lightheaded, and once I got up to about half a mil I almost passed out. I thought about giving up then, but you can’t celebrate a birthday without balloons.
After he got home and we had dinner, we headed out to the splash park. “What? Your husband wanted to spend his birthday at a splash park??” Yes, he did. He’s a family man through and through, and I adore him for it. Once we got home he got to open his presents, blow out his candles, and eat his favorite dessert ever. EVER. You want the recipe, don’t you? I won’t disappoint. It’s a strawberry jell-o dessert, and it is absolutely delicious.
This husband of mine is my most favorite person ever. He is gentle, kind, brilliant, thoughtful, and so good. Happy birthday, Love. Here’s to many, many more. <3
