The 28th Year

You know it's going to be a good birthday when your husband wakes you up and hands you a little green box.

...and inside the box were these!

As mentioned in a prior blog, when Tom asked me what I wanted for my birthday I told him I want to go to Sea World. He also asked if there was anything small he could get for me, and I suggested a pair of cheap, like $20 cheap, earrings to replace the cheap ones that I somehow lost during our move to Texas. I was not expecting anything like this, but I love them. I love you too, Tom. ...and these will never be left in the cup holder of the 4runner like the last pair.

Since my birthday fell on a Monday and I still wanted to do something fun and out of the ordinary with Micah, we drove down to the Frisco mall. At the mall we had one major stop on our agenda: Build-A-Bear Workshop. I know you are probably thinking this lady spoils the heck out of her kid. Buzz Lightyear last week and now a new stuffed animal. Well, maybe I do, but hear me out on this one. Way back when, before Micah was born, I went to Build-A-Bear to make Micah a teddy bear as my gift to him when he was born. Well, at the time I didn't know Micah's true birthday to enter into their system, so I listed mine. Little did I know that they would send me a gift card in the mail for a free animal for my birthday, and the gift card was only good for a 5 day period. So..., meet Dog. I know, unique name, huh. I asked him what he wanted to name him and all I got was "dog".

Tom was such a sweetie that night. He came home with more gifts. To be exact, he came home with my favortie semi-fast food, so I wouldn't have to cook along with a delicious cookie cake. Yum!

Happy Birthday to me!
