This past weekend was my 26th birthday! It was such a wonderful weekend, Andrew was so great. First he surprised me when I got home Friday night with the chicken pot pie he wasn't supposed to make until Saturday, and a yummy chocolate cake with ice cream. Everything tasted SO WONDERFUL, and it was such a sweet surprise!
I opened one of my presents that night. I got a bedside alarm clock with a CD player built in. Absolutely loved it! He knew it was hard for me to squint across the room to see the other alarm clock on the dresser, and I've mentioned before that I can't listen to music at night anymore since I don't have a CD player in my room. So he got it all in one, and I've used it every night since!
I knew we were picking up my "Be Mine" heart charm from James Avery on Saturday, we'd dropped it off awhile ago to have it engraved (I didn't let him tell me what he had engraved on it, I wanted it to be a surprise). What I DIDN'T know was that he'd dropped off my necklace I'd worn the charm on to be fixed (the clasp was broken), and so I got the complete necklace back! I was so happy, I'd missed wearing it! He had "2/14/09" engraved on it, since it was my Valentine's Day present earlier this year.
He also got me a smaller gift. A calendar for our kitchen. It's got a bunch of different vineyards and wine-related pictures in it. It's a BEAUTIFUL calendar and will look wonderful in our kitchen!
But my main present was a chi! My old straightener was starting to die a slow death, and it wasn't a very good one anyways. So Andrew bought me a chi, which I LOVE!!!! I slept on my straightened hair last night, and we could BOTH tell a difference this morning: my hair didn't look slept on or messy. In fact, I literally just ran a brush through it before I went to pay our rent. And it looks fabulous!
On my birthday, we relaxed at home in the morning. Andrew took me to get my hair cut, and then we went and saw Couples Retreat (not a typical slapstick comedy, but worth seeing). We have totally gotten into this Red Box movie renting thing, and so we'd rented a couple of movies to watch over the weekend: Observe and Report (stupid, but funny) and Revolutionay Road (DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT watch this movie...SUCH A WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!). We went over to my parents' house on Sunday to visit and all of that. It was just very chill, very relaxing. A perfect weekend.
Now, my weekend is not quite over. I am off today, and I've taken the opportunity to scrub toilets and tubs, and do some laundry. A productive day, to be sure, but I am also going to take it easy this afternoon. Dewey's loving it that I'm here, so we're going to get some good play time in!
Andrew, thank you for making this the best birthday I've ever had. I love you so much!!!!!
