birthday

This week I am celebrating my first annual 29th birthday! We knew it was going to be a busy week, with Bryan out of town on a business trip, and SAY Yes! launching for the year. So, we decided to celebrate on Saturday.

We started the cold morning out by participating in a 5k fundraiser for Union Gospel Mission. The trail was in the woods, and a really nice fall walk-we finished in just under an hour-we were not actually in a hurry! Then we went and had a big breakfast.

Since it was my birthday, Bryan complied with my request to go with me to a Mothers of Multiples sale. I found some cute jammies for Brett, and Bryan found Brett a Packer sweatshirt.

That was followed by a nice long football nap. I think my best naps occur when the football game is on! Rocky loves football season because she knows she can nap on Bryan's lap without being disturbed for 3 hours.

After that, Bryan beat me at a fierce game of Rumicube!

And where do the gifts come in? Well, I have an effective approach to gifts and Bryan. It works out really well. I tell him exactly what I want (no hinting here!) and where to get it. That way I'm never disappointed, and Bryan is never stressed out about it! It's win-win! So, for my birthday, I went on amazon.com, picked out 2 used CDs, put them in my virtual cart, passed the computer to Bryan, and he checked out! Happy Birthday to me!

We are hoping Brett will be home before my second annual 29th birthday.
