Yesterday was my Honey's birthday. We pulled off quite a coup! About 6 weeks ago, Robert's Mom, Doreene, asked if she could come visit for his birthday. OF COURSE! We decided to keep it a surprise though, and that was HARD to do! I enlisted the help of one of his co-workers, Mac, to help me. I asked for a lot: get us cleared to come visit, make the arrangements for us to visit, be our escort when we get to work, keep Robert busy/keep an eye on him so we can visit, get permission for us to "kidnap" Robert, and help me buy his present (some PS3 controllers). Mac didn't disappoint! And with as busy as things have been at work lately (5 new titles launching in the next 10 days), that was no small thing. Thanks Mac!

THAT was Friday, the day before his birthday. I'd been asking Robert what he wanted to do for his Birthday for more than a week. He just wanted to "spend time with the people he loved the most." DONE! Yesterday we just stayed home. We watched movies, chatted, and played video games for a little while. Robert got to sleep in late and got to eat anything he asked for (Chipotle for lunch and Marie Calender's Chocolate Silk pie for dessert). We were LOW-Key all day long. It was nice.

I'm a birthday maniac. I LOVE them! Not just mine, but all birthdays--it's your own personal holiday, the day you get to be king/queen. I've always loved birthdays, so having something special to do for Robert was so much fun! I'm so glad his Mom wanted to come visit!

I've known Robert now for a little more than 11 years. He's my bestest friend and the BEST Husband. I'd choose him all over again, if given the chance. He's incredibly smart, very generous, extrememly compassionate, and very hard-working. He's a great example to me and our children. Robert works hard at being a great Dad to our kids. He's the BEST. Since the day we got married, I've told him often, "You're my best husband." That hasn't changed at all. I'm so glad to have had these last 11 more, and I look forward to celebrating an infinity of birthdays together.
