33

Today was HF's 33rd birthday. Would it surprise you to know that he worked on his birthday and didn't get the day off, or a parade in his honor for that manner? Here's the rundown of the day:

Morning: Fed him his favorite cold cereal for breakfast. Fruit Loops. We never have the stuff in our house, so he's got to eat fast if he wants to enjoy it.

Afternoon: Shopping, he opened a couple of presents. I got him a couple of shirts, and the first season of 24. Daisy drew him a picture and made him a bookmark. He got a package from his mom.

Philly Cheesesteaks for the birthday boy's lunch. Sometimes we just can't help ourselves with those cheesesteaks...

Then off to work.

Later, we took him hot dogs from his favorite hot dog place along with his homemade cheesecake/birthday cake. It was a very fatty fat day! But he'll work it off in a day. Later when he got home, since it was kind of late, I treated him to a man movie that he's been wanting to see, True Grit, and we spent some quality time together.

Here's my cheesecake FAIL:

And here is my cheesecake save:

HF's birthday is a special anniversary for us because it is the day we met when we were teenagers. I showed up at his house with a friend and HF's sister while I was visiting from California. I think I wrote our story before, but it was love at first sight. I'm always reminded of that day's events on his birthday. Seems like it was just yesterday! And now look at us. A couple of grownups with 3 kids and a minivan. Ain't life funny?
