I'm All Smiles

OK, so, last night Hubby tells me that he'll be a little late coming home because he has to stop of at the grocery store to buy me a cake. "Why bother?" I ask, cause we don't usually go out of our way to celebrate the adult birthdays around here. "Well, you know if I don't buy one, Lina won't talk to us tonight, it's a big thing to her". He's right. Lina NEEDS to have a cake to celebrate a birthday. So when, he got home, the cake was off limits, I wasn't allowed to look at it.

After a wonderful steak dinner with portobello mushrooms and some red wine, hubby proceeds to set up the cake complete with 36 candles (yes, it looked just like a torch). Jody was over and the guy wouldn't stop recording the whole fiasco with his cell phone. When Hubby put the torch down I was dumbfounded. There written on the cake was....



For those of you who don't know what that means, it means this.... that my Hubby went out and bought me this...



... and that it was sitting in his truck outside waiting for me. What a freak! Who does those things? I can't stop smiling. Jody has the whole thing recorded, me sitting there with an incredulous look of awe and disbelief on my face as Jody, Hubby and Lina sing Happy Birthday to me.. I am now the proud owner of a 2003 Honda CBR 600 F4i. My good friend Stef and I agree that I'd better keep up the gym stuff so that I can show off my butt this summer. When I noticed she was online this morning and sent a quick "guess what I got for my birthday?" to her she responded "what another bike?" when I sent her the link to a picture the bike she just about crapped - she had been joking about the getting another bike thing.

So. Hmm. I guess I'm not going to get any older for a few years.

Thanks hubby, you are a hard act to follow! (His birthday is in April and I don't know what to give him that is even half a special and as thoughtful!) I can honestly say that you are wholy responsible for making the past 18 (going on 19) years the most special of my life. I can now say that I have spent half of my life with you!

Wow!
