Happy 28th, Jeromy!!

Last week we celebrated Jeromy's 28th birthday! I tend to get a little sappy on birthdays, because I think it's such a wonderful time to celebrate that person, and the importance they have in your life. And let me tell you, this guy has GREAT importance in my life. It's crazy to think that this is the 9th birthday I've celebrated with Jeromy! Time flies...

Jeromy's birthday plans started long before his actual birthday. Jeromy has been really itching to get a Wii. And when I say really itching, I mean REALLY itching...since about the time it came out. I (being the painfully frugal and practical wife that I am), held him off for awhile. After Christmas, he started getting the itch again. He had plans of how we could split our Christmas money so that he could get a Wii. Finally, I broke down and suggested that I buy him a Wii for his birthday. He agreed that that was a good plan.

So a couple days before his birthday, we paid a visit to Game Stop and bought Jeromy a Wii and a few games. I admit, it felt a little silly to buy a 28-year-old a video game for his birthday...but I also have to admit that the Wii is pretty cool!

On his birthday, we enjoyed a date together at Famous Dave's (see picture). I was feeling good enough (yay!) to genuinely enjoy the food I got. After our lovely dinner, we hurried home to host a video game party! It was fun to celebrate with friends.

Jeromy Steven Carlson, I am so thankful for you. I am so honored to have spent the last 8+ years together, and look forward to many, many, MANY more. I am honored that you have chosen to spend your life with me. And I'm honored that you have helped to give me the best gift - a child! Can't wait to celebrate next year with Sweet Pea by our sides!! Love you more than I know how to say!
