Chad asked me in September where I wanted to go for my birthday.
My brother in-law Troy introduced us to this nice restaurant Houstons (thanks again Troy!), and/or there is a similar Brazilian restaurant to Tucanos in Atlanta, BUT life has been so crazy busy recently, all I wanted to do was stay in and relax together... I know, I am lame - MANY people already told me this...
HOWEVER, it was perfect.
The morning of my birthday Chad tricked me with the old pillow-under-the-covers-trick. Once Chad gets up in the morning I usually do too (and visa versa). I guess we only feel OK sleeping in past a normal hour if the other one is too :) Knowing this, that morning he put our body pillow under the sheets so that I would look over and think that he was still asleep too (I have very poor vision without contacts mind you). Sadly, it worked. (We both laughed pretty hard about it later.)
Once I realized that he was no longer sleeping, I got up out of bed and went to the kitchen only to find birthday breakfast being cooked.
He made my favorite - Chocolate Chip Pancakes and Sausage with Orange Juice
Chad had already spoiled me earlier in the week by letting me open my birthday present early...He got me the sewing machine that I have been wanting FOREVER.
It can embroider too!
I have already started my first project - Christmas stockings! - Yes, I know stockings are pretty basic, BUT I have not sewed since my senior year of high school when I kept making my mother re-thread the machine... They are still a WIP since I could only officially use the gift as of yesterday...
I have white trim for the top and black felt for lettering. I will post the final product when they are finished.
After breakfast, Chad told me to get dressed because we were going shopping. He took me to Walmart and JoAnns to pick out all the necessities for sewing... It was really fun.
When we got back from a fun filled shopping adventure, Chad and I made kabobs and watched the Modern Family DVDs.
Halfway through, Chad surprised me with this:
The candles were arranged in a smiley face...
To the left in the picture you can sort of see the single red rose and a note.
This has sort of become a birthday tradition. Chad always wakes me up with a single red rose and a letter for my birthday. I was looking forward to it :)
It really was a perfect birthday...
Thanks Chad!
