26

What a babe

Yesterday was my sweet husband's birthday. The very first one we've celebrated together, now that I think about it. Two birthdays ago, we weren't dating-or kissing ;)- yet, and I was at a family reunion in Yellowstone. And during his last birthday, he was in Seattle doing his internship thang. 

It was also our first days back at work following a 4.5 day family reunion in McCall, Idaho (more about that later). You know you're officially a grown up when you have to work on your birthday...oh,and you're married.

So, he went off to work and I went to a half-day of SpEd training for my job, which starts in a very short 2.5 weeks. Then I bought some birthday supplies, cleaned the house, and got ready for the birthday boy to come home so we could go to dinner with a few friends. But first he had to open two of his three presents (a book and a piece for his AR-15). His last present won't be here until tomorrow, so I can't tell you what it is.

We went to Texas Roadhouse, and the service was...subpar. And it was my husband's birthday, dangit! None of our food was right, and the waitress was a grump who looked like she'd rather be off doing whatever grumpy girls do on Monday nights. Watching Gossip Girl or the Bachelorette, probably.

 So Colt (very kindly and courteously) let the manager know, and she gave us all a free meal. Shwing! 

Then we went and said hi to his mom, who got into town Sunday night, then came home and had birthday banana cream pie.

We aren't really cake people.

It was a pretty quiet birthday, but what else can Monday birthdays be when they are filled with work, training, and grown up things?

It was just awesome to hang out with my birthday boy.

Happy Birthday Colt!! 26 looks great on you.
