My birthday is in July and my hubby made it extra special this year. It was going to be the first time we went out on a date and left our baby girl since she was born. Needless to say, we were very excited. Joe made little hints like "I paid to have someone sing to you" and "We're going to be lifted in the air." It all sounded so glorious and...expensive. So, knowing that we are not big spenders and that my hubby is quite the creative type, my mind flurried with wonder and expectation. As we drove up Provo canyon, I realized that we were likely headed toward Sundance. My perpetual guesses were comfirmed when I hit the right one. We were going on the ski lift! Yea! This was exciting. So what about the singing part? Was there a local yodeller at the top ready to serenade me? Well, the ride itself was romantic (it had been a while since we had this much alone time in the day). When we got to the top, we went on a little hike. My honey stopped a little ways down the trail and recited a beautiful poem in the middle of nature which he had composed earlier. Here is the poem.
18 months married and sealed,
Time has flown since I had you reeled.
A beautiful baby and more to go,
Life full of blessings reaped and to sow
I love you like crazy and its growing more,
We've still much to do we've just opened the door.
I love celebrating you, my jewel,
Your birthday rocks, and you rule!
So cute. I know. He then pulled out a card that had and little handle that you spin to make music play. I received my birthday serenade from some rockin' little critters on a card. The part in the poem that says "your birthday rocks, and you rule," was preliminary to the message in the card. THEN, he gave me my gift. "Twilight". Hmmm, most husbands wish their wives would never have set eyes on this popular novel that has taken the female species to obsessive measures. But... my honey is one of a kind. I of course have read the entire series now and had a perfectly good deflection to any opposition my husband gave me about my inability to stop reading it. He started it. I love him so much. We finished off the night with greasy cheese burgers and fries that we snuck into the movie "Iron Man". Awe, the romance. I couldn't have asked for a better and sweeter birthday. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that he started by coming home with a beautiful vase of flowers. Perfect.
