A Sue Heck Birthday

My birthday was a few weeks ago and was seriously one of the best.  Matty woke up early to make me breakfast (the best french toast ever) and then we rushed around the house in a panic to get to work on time.  The office had donuts to celebrate my big day and Charlie our doorman brought me one of the potted flowers from the hall (they were changing them out anyway).  Matt then picked me up from work and we headed to my favorite place, Olecito, to pick up some much needed Mexican food.

As soon as I got in the car I noticed that Matt had a newly shaved face. I kept saying things about how I was amazed that he didn't even have a 5 o'clock shadow or anything but he just shrugged it off as if it were no big deal.  When we walked in the door I was greeted by a ceiling full of streamers, a spotless house, a freshly made birthday cake and Matt fessed up to shaving just before he came to get me.  He had rushed around the house like he was in a panic to get to work that morning and then as soon as I left he shut the door and began doing laundry, cleaning, running errands and decorating for my birthday. I had no idea he had stayed home because I still got a few emails from him throughout the day and he was careful with what he said about the "work" he was doing.

My gifts from Matt were neatly wrapped on my bed and included some really great stuff.  I have a serious love of popcorn (we have it at least 2 times a week), so Matty got me some fancy popcorn to try out.  They are three different kinds of popcorn grown in different places and all have a different size, texture, and flavor to them. My favorite so far is the "White Diamond" popcorn. I love it. :)

Matt also got me tickets to see the Boston Ballet perform the Nutcracker on opening night. It was the day after Thanksgiving and we could hardly wait we were so excited (hence the Sue Heck faces). We both loved the show and especially loved the little mice and black sheep dancing around on the stage.  The kids were too cute and I couldn't help but want to scoop them up and take them home with me.

Thank you everyone for the best birthday a girl could ask for. It was so fun to hear from you all and to receive fun packages and cards in the mail. I truly felt loved and really appreciated everything you did and do for me constantly.

(By the way if you don't know who Sue Heck is you're totally missing out. Watch The Middle tonight on ABC and get ready to laugh your head off. It's one of Matt and my favorite shows.)
