Since this is a birthday giveaway...I wanted to tell you a little story about my sweet husband, and my last birthday! Well...let me back up a bit. I am an OCCASIONS FANATIC...when it's a birthday, Christmas...whatever...I go all out...to the best I can! So...every year for my hubby's birthday I get cake, ice cream, presents...we go out to dinner...there's usually several cards given...just the way I am. Well...as much as I love him...my husband is SO not like that...usually it's just dinner...same place...same thing...every...single Y E A R! LOL!
So this past February...I started getting all excited about my birthday coming up...I'd already done the "dropping hints" thing ALL YEAR...about a cake...gift...place to eat...you know...the normal stuff we as women HAVE TO DO in order to TRY and get what we REALLY want! Can I get an Amen? LOL!
On the morning of my birthday I woke up and got the standard "Happy Birthday". Which was nice...but I looked around the room...no card...kitchen...no card...ugh...the year of hinting was a waste...sigh. Oh well...next year I thought. Now mind you...I didn't expect a 300 guest 5 tiered DIAMOND CAKE or anything...but I did expect a little something to celebrate.
Dinner time...I got all dressed up and we left the house. "Where are we going to eat?""Where do you want to go eat?" "Ummm...The Cheesecake Factory" "No...I don't want that..." (at this point I'm looking at him with my jaw down on the floor...) "Ok then what do YOU want?" "Outback Steakhouse" "ok...then...that will be fine".....same place...again.
We arrived, ordered our BLOOMIN' ONION...which I have to say made me very happy and we started chatting about life....dreams....etc. At this point I noticed he was really trying to be romantic...cutting my bread, holding my hand...this was nothing like our usual outings....I was happy...just the simple act of holding my hand and cutting my bread made me feel OH SO SPECIAL...then...he excused himself to go wash off the onion on his hands.
When he returned....he handed me a bag...a Walmart bag...I was thinking "What is this?"
"It isn't what you really wanted...but I wanted you to have something really special this year" I opened the bag and saw the envelope to a card...that made me tear up...a card...when I lifted up the card...there was a blue bag...with the word TIFFANY's on it....I nearly passed out...and immediately started to cry. "Um...don't you want to open it before you cry?" "No...(mascara beginning to run....lol)" I'm just so happy you got me a card and a present I don't care what it is"
After composing myself...from reading the beautiful card, I slid my hand into the Tiffany bag and pulled out that famous blue box with the white ribbon....I slid the ribbon off the box and opened it to find a little blue bag...and in that bag...was a pair of Tiffany silver hoop earrings. I cried again. I made him WAIT until the ugly cry was over and I could fix my makeup before he took this photo:
SO...the REASON he didn't want to go to The Cheesecake Factory....because he had the bag hidden in the truck...and if we went there...he'd have to run across a mall parking lot to get to it. Moral of the story...I need to just SHUT UP and let him do what he does best...be my husband and best friend!
