Party

Today is the birthday of my favorite husband!

(As a side note, my sister-in-law once told her husband he was "one in a million" and her numbers oriented husband told her that wasn't really a compliment, considering there are over 6 billion people in the world...)

I've only known my husband for seven birthdays. Here we are, not yet engaged...I think we'd know each other for a few months, but this was our 4th time seeing each other. We would get engaged 2 visits later.

Next birthday: Married for a few months and enjoying the life of newlyweds. He gets a huge piece of luggage from Duluth. (Thus begins a trend.)

Third birthday spent with my husband: We have a 2- month old baby and I think we went out to eat and came back for cake with our sweet friends (who also provided babysitting).

4th year of birthdays: Pregnant with baby #2 and mostly laying around. Coop delivers the present in his little cart. He gets a messenger bag from Duluth.

5th year of birthdays: I had to fly out the morning of his birthday to go to my grandfather's funeral. WH spent his birthday with said sweet friends who made him a special dinner and a cake. I miss those friends. He gets a tool bag from Duluth.

6th year- A little over a week from giving birth to baby #3 but his 30th birthday is celebrated with friends and more friends... which was fun...

and also a cover for a surprise visit from his brother. We had an incredibly nice meal- one we still talk about (hehehe).

This year, we will have a quiet evening with homemade pizza and WH will indulge in his hobby of brewing- something he doesn't have much time for these days. Tomorrow will be a family party with all the local extended family; the sheer number of the group makes any get-together a party. The steak and potatoes and chocolate peanut butter mousse cake will help, too.

Happy Birthday, to the love of my life!
