Birthday Day

Guys, its official. Mid-twenties. Mixed emotions. But not too mixed I suppose. I couldn’t be happier with where I am than I am now. I have a loving husband, my adorable son, and my sweet girl on the way. We have a house and a successful business. We have been blessed with more amazing friends than we know what to do with. We have God, and He is good. I am thankful.

As I said yesterday, today was really the only day I didn’t have things planned! And it was the best that way, to be honest. I was awake at 3:30am and that was it for the day. Dekker woke up somewhat early, clearly on the wrong side of the crib. Not literally, thank the Lord. But he was something of a handful all day. I love him desperately, and I totally feel for him. If I had an open wound on my bum and wore diapers, I would fuss pretty hard too. He struggled all day, and while I can honestly say I was more patient than I thought I would be with him, I am completely wiped just from the amount of screaming that went on in my house today. It was a challenge to say the least, but it would have been waaay scarier had we been out all day!

Brady finished work at a nice early hour, came home with red roses, and made me dinner. He even manned Deks while I put my feet up for a bit and watched YouTube videos. It was the perfect setup, and supper was sooo delicious! I love stroganoff. Somehow it feels like a guilty pleasure meal, even though its perfectly respectable! I suppose guilty pleasure doesn’t always have to mean its loaded with high fructose corn syrup.

I was also informed about our date on Friday. I knew something was up but wasn’t positive on the plans. Shakespeare, baby!!! Supper by the river, followed by a performance of “A Comedy of Errors.” This will be our third time attending a play by Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan and have yet to be disappointed. Every play we’ve seen, I have never read, but it was all so clear and humorous, I didn’t get lost once. Can’t wait! And of course, my Jerilee, I can’t believe you kept this secret from me! Thanks for watching my son for another evening 🙂 I’ll do everything in my power to get his diaper rash cleaned up before you have to deal with it!

Watermelon and a bubble bath, and catching up on the Bachelorette. Turned out to be a good day after all 🙂

* Side notes, again. Some things just don’t fit in this post but I have to include them somehow! Firstly, Dekkers cow sound is no longer “moo moo” and is now “boom boom.” Love it! Secondly, here are some pictures of the adorable clothes we bought our baby girl while in Winnipeg, and our new cloth diapers 🙂
