Yeah!!!!!! I am so excited that my husband now is the same age as me (in years anyway). Usually being older than him has it's advantages, but sometimes like this year when you hit a milestone birthday, like 30, one most people dread, it's tough. He's only 4 months and 11 days younger than me, so it's not a big difference, but still. We didn't have a big shindig like the one he threw for me, but I think it was exactly what he wanted. He's kind of a no fuss, stay at home, family party kind of guy. Don't get me wrong, he likes his birthday to be celebrated, he just prefers a more intimate setting. So this year, it was just us, mostly because of our new location, otherwise we would have had my parents and some cousins, and a few Aunts and Uncles come to help celebrate. I made his favorite things for dinner, Greek salad, steak (although he did the grilling), roasted potatoes and bread with the yummy dipping oils. And for his cake, I baked a chocolate fudge cake with raspberry filling, with Chocolate frosting. It was all very yummy. He got the grill for his birthday a few weeks early, and so we got him a few things to open up. We are Office fanatics so he got a new mouse pad that said "that's what she said" and a Dwight K. Shrute stress relieving head. We also got him a heart rate monitor watch for when he runs. So when my mom called and talked to the kids, she asked Ella what we got daddy for his birthday she said, " We got him a Gwill (she doesn't pronounce her r's), a watch heart checker and a squeezy head"....Aaron and I both got a good laugh out of that! Overall I think it was a pretty good day!
