Today is my wonderful hubbie's 28th birthday! Ain't he cute?

 

We both took today off work to enjoy the day together (much needed after these last few days at work--don't ask). Surprisingly, we didn't really sleep in this morning. In fact, big dummy that I am, as soon as I awoke this morning, I got up, shut the door to the bedroom, and went to let the dogs out and get their food/medicine ready. I was so proud to be the first one up, taking care of this chore for Drew on his special day. About twenty minutes later, as he heard the dogs' food bowls being dragged (by Molly) across the kitchen floor, he asked what I was up to. With a smile, I spilled the beans about my big "surprise." But the surprise was on me, as Drew had gotten up even earlier and had already taken care of the chore, without me even noticing! Needless to say, Molly and Sammy received a double breakfast (and dose of meds, d'oh!) this morning. Oh well, it's the thought that counts, right?

Drew and I went out for breakfast this morning, something we very rarely do. It was leisurely and enjoyable (and amazing how much more pleasurable without the weekend crowds!). Next, we went to Meijer to run some errands. We have houseguests arriving tomorrow for the weekend (Drew's friend, Zach, from college and his wife, Kara), so we'll probably spend the rest of the day alternately relaxing and getting things done around the house.

Hopefully we'll make it out for dinner and a movie tonight to celebrate, and I have a special dessert planned.

Happy Birthday again, Drew. Thanks for being my best friend. I love you a little more each day!
