Happy Birthday, Trophy Husband!

I'm crazy blessed to be married to this guy...

...AND, this guy, his alter ego.  

He's the life of our family party, and the perfect polar opposite of me.  It also just so happens to be his birthday.  And, as awesome as it is to be married to him, he's the most difficult person I know of to buy a gift for.  He doesn't need anything.  His clothes last forever.  I can't afford an Elk hunt (one day, I promise).  So, I did what any good wife and mom would do.  I asked the three year old for advice.  And, he didn't disappoint.  He had a great idea, in fact, he insisted he knew just the right place to celebrate Daddy's birthday. So, where did Sam think Daddy would love to go for his birthday?

Why, Chuck-E-Cheese, of course!

Pizza, games, prizes, a dance show every hour featuring the big mouse himself!  What's not to love?!

I actually thought Sam's plan was pretty cute, and I helped him with the minor details, like paying.  Otherwise, he planned the perfect Sunday afternoon celebration for a super rockin' dad and husband.

Happy Birthday, Trophy Husband, Super Dad, Scarecrow!  Know you are loved!

Happy 4th Anniversary

For the fourth anniversary, the traditional gift is fruit and flowers.  So, because I am a traditional girl if anything, I handpicked fresh flowers from our beautiful yard and bought some hand-dipped strawberries for my trophy husband.  I also did a "fruits of your labor" theme and bought us a much needed massage to help relax all these tired muscles from all this home improvement stuff we (he) has been doing.   We also had a quiet steak dinner at home, just the three of us.  

Here's a picture of my little bouquet I picked...

...and then my husband came home with this, for me.  I love this comparison picture.  It's so him and me.  I'm "low-key and understated" and he is "over-the-top, life of the party."  

We are a perfect match of opposites.

I am beyond blessed to have shared four years of marriage with my best friend and trophy husband.  He brings great joy and laughter to my life.  Here's to many more years of living life and dreaming big together.  I love you TH!
