I won’t lie. Brady’s birthday was a bit all over the place. In the end, I’d call it a success 💜
It began with Brady opening a card from Cher and a gift from me. I gave him gitch with pineapples on them. He giggled like a little boy while he put them on. Lol! He is easy to please. Then he had some coffee and went to work.
The first chunk of his workday was pretty rough. As in, a total bust. But everyone rallied and Cher, Wavy, and I got to visit him at work and bring him a treat and a snuggle 💜
After work, my mom came over with supper for the kids, and Brady and I left for a date night out! We don’t get too many date nights, as many couples don’t, so we really really appreciated the willingness of my mom and the opportunity to be out together!
We hit Montanas for some of our favorite food.
I won.
Post-supper, we went to Old Navy to buy Brady some new jeans. Jeans are not as easy to buy as they used to be. Its hard to know if they fit nicely or are “comfortable” when you can’t feel your butt. Yet the stakes are higher, because sitting in bad, ill-fitting pants for an extended period of time when, unable to feel that they’re not right, will result in pressure sores. And that is a scary thing, as small as it sounds. It isn’t. Thankfully, Old Navy had nice fitting, soft, stretchy jeans that worked really well for Brady! At one point, from inside the change room, he realized he hadn’t been locking his door. He remarked “Oh well. Worst case scenario, someone sees my pineapples.” And we laughed like the tools we are.
We drove the fancy neighbourhoods in the city like we used to, and picked up some ice cream 💜 It was a very chill date, which we really needed after such a struggle in the morning. Its not fair to give over the power to ruin his day so easily. So we didn’t. And we really enjoyed it.
I’ll admit that we were EXTRA tired at the end of the day. But it was a success to end up beside each other, content, in love, and continuing to grow and change together.
I hope your birthday was happy, my love 💜 I loved being with you, and I look forward to MANY more birthdays together. As many as we can possible get.
