a very happy un-birthday to me!
alright, so i know that i was dreading the whole birthday thing but i’ve gotta give my hubby credit. he did a spectacular job of making it the best day ever. i was overwhelmed with the thought that he put into making me feel special and loved. after a day of one suprise after another, he shared his “master plan” with me during dinner:
30 presents for my beautiful wife Arcanai
- Start of 30 I Love You’s for the day 6:00 – he started out taking a huge risk… his alarm went off at 05:45! said i, “why is your alarm going off?” “we’re going out.” “seriously?!” of course, while he’s getting out of bed and getting ready, i’m laying there thinking it’s sunday and my sleep-in day and we didn’t get home from the mma fights until after 01:00 so i’ve only had a few hours of sleep. he lucked out because i had way too much water while eating dinner at midnight so i had actually just gotten back in bed when his alarm went off. i would have been much less amicable to the idea had i been asleep.
- Start of 30 kisses for the day
- Start of 30 hugs for the day
- Sunrise at end of pier 6:30 – so he got me out of bed and we headed down to the pier to watch the sunrise. it was our first time on the new pier and i was surprised at how far it went out. we were the only ones out there so it was peaceful and quiet and just a lovely morning. we watched the sun gather its glory from behind our building, ultimately rising over a building a couple doors down from us. my boy hugged me and loved on me while we enjoyed the start of the new day. when we started walking back down the pier, the dolphins showed up and we stuck around a bit longer to watch them make their morning trek down the beach.
- Walk on the beach (quality time) – this got skipped because i was pretty chilly after being out in the cool wind on the pier in my flip-flops and so when he asked if i wanted to go down to the beach i told him my feet were too cold. he made sure to make it up with another “gift” later in the day… a haircut that about made him wanna cry 🙂
- Bubble Bath – when we got back, he drew a nice hot bubble bath to warm me up. it was heavenly.
- Breakfast in Bed – and when i got out of the bath, he tucked me into bed and served me breakfast… eggs cooked perfectly over medium with bacon and cheese biscuits.
- Personal Birthday Card (nothing bought) – this was sitting on my breakfast tray. a nice little handmade card that says
- Morning Massage (30 Minutes) – after we had finished eating, he pulled out the massage lotion and i was treated to a fabulous full-body massage that lasted nearly an hour.
- Birthday Morning Nap– between the hot bubble bath, full belly, and relaxing massage, i was totally ready for the nap!
- Pier Park Shopping – where i got this very cute blouse
- Lunch at Pier Park – mmmpanera
- Marble Slab – omg, it has been so long! i had the cheesecake ice cream with strawberries mixed in. so, so good.
- Trip to Panama City Beach Winery for Wine Tasting – this is such a fun winery. they do unique and fruity wines and free tastings.
- Buy Arcanai’s Favorite bottle from the tasting – i was torn between the kiwi, cranberry, and blueberry. i ended up going with the blueberry but foresee the cranberry in my future as well.
- Trip to Wal-Mart (we never do anything without going to Wal-Mart) – LOL!!! i love that he included this on his list. it’s so true!
- Birthday Flowers – these lovely tulips. i heart tulips.
- Birthday Cake – mmmmcarvelcake
- 1:33 in the afternoon birth time (Happy Birthday Song)
- Good ole fashioned spanking 30 lashes – yep, he went there 🙂
- Funny Movie (holding down couch) – inglorious basterds. this actually happened before lunch because i needed some time to wake up after the nap.
- Evening Massage (30 minutes) – this came after the walk on the beach below. i was shocked when i was instructed to lay down for ANOTHER massage. i informed him that he was spoiling me and this was going to have to become the sunday norm!
- Walk on Beach 4:45 (quality time) – we got back from the mall and headed out to the beach for a short walk. the sand was not nearly as cold as it would have been in the morning.
- Sunset on Beach – sadly, the clouds were not cooperative. we stayed on the beach hoping for a sunset but it never came.
- Personal Bath – this is where he shampooed and conditioned my hair (scalp massage) and then cut it against his will.
- Dinner with friends Bone Fish Grill 6:30 – there were sixteen of us in all. good friends, great conversation, fabulous food!
- Glass of Wine
- Night Time Walk on beach – dinner ran long so we skipped this to visit with our friends from atlanta, the bastard suns, who were passing through for the night on their winter tour. they stay at scooter/sunny’s house when they come to town. sadly, they’re playing an hour away on TUESDAY night so i don’t think we’re going to get to watch them this time around.
- Hot Tub– i love hot-tubbing on a cool night with a glass of wine 🙂
- Romantic Movie – when in rome. the car scene cracks me up!
30 years ago the world got one special girl. One that would become my wife, partner, and best friend. I hope today and every day you know how much I love you.
