This past Thursday, we celebrated my sweet husband's 27th birthday! We aren't much into store bought cards around here, so I made him a homemade birthday card to read on his birthday morning. I thought it would be nice to give him 27 reasons I love him, only it didn't end up quite as meaningful as I intended, lol! This was our conversation: (Sean reads card) S: That's sweet honey, I really like it. J: Thanks, I thought you would think it was special. S: Well, I did but I'm just wondering, did you just pick a number or did you just start writing reasons and stopped when you ran out of things to say? J: Well Sean, you know how old you are right? S: (after taking a few seconds to count in his head)Oh yeah! Well, that makes sense then. Wow! Old age anyone? ;)
Seeing as how I LOVE to bake, I had been asking him since Monday what kind of cake he wanted. I never could get a clear answer and he kept turning down my suggestions. Finally, Wednesday night, he made his final decision...chocolate chip COOKIES! What?! Only my husband :) {I secretly think he chose that because he knows this week has been kind of difficult and baking delicious cupcakes/cake that I couldn't enjoy with him would have been a little disheartening. And I love him extra for that!} So Porter and I worked together and whipped up a batch of warm chocolate chip cookies just in time for our birthday boy to get home!
The birthday dinner feast, lol! Anyone that knows Sean knows that he is nothing shy of OBSESSED with finding good BBQ joints (yes, that's the most appropriate term! You should see some of the places this quest takes us!) and his birthday was no exception. He found a local BBQ restaurant that sounded good to him and had a challenge that he just couldn't pass up :) So the challenge was 2.5 POUNDS of BBQ (on a bun) in 30 minutes and your meal was free. Well...what we didn't know was that it also came with 6 hushpuppies (on top of the sandwich), macaroni and cheese, and baked beans, all of which also had to be consumed within the same 30 minutes, yikes! Neither one of us had a good idea of what 2.5 pounds of BBQ on one sandwich might look like...
When THAT came to the table, the only thing to do was laugh! {Side note: it was also quite hilarious that literally everyone else in the restaurant became more amused with Sean's sandwich than what was happening at their own tables, and I can't say that I blame them!} He worked at it for a good 30 minutes, at the end of which it still looked like this...
Wow! I know! I'd say we brought home a good 2 pounds of it, but it sure did make for an amusing dinner! All in all, a great birthday celebration for a very deserving man! When we first welcomed our tiny boy into the world (15 months ago today, by the way) I had no idea what an amazing, loving, kind, patient, and silly daddy this man that I already adored would become! To say I'm thankful to share my life with him, just doesn't quite cut it. Porter and I love you to the moon and back ;)
