Mike's 26th Birthday

 

Last year Mike's birthday was overshadowed by Ashlyn's baby blessing, so this year I wanted to make sure he felt special on his birthday.  He played golf with his friend Jared in the a.m., we went shopping for some clothes in the afternoon, and in the evening we went out to dinner.  I was happy to hear him tell me it was one of the best birthdays he has ever had.  I think it had to do with the beautiful March weather allowing for perfect golf conditions. ;-)

Mike and I have a tradition in our marriage that for every occasion that qualifies for a card we make each other one. It is the least we can do for each other because we have yet to wrap presents for birthdays and Christmas.  We always just go shopping together and pick out the things we want.  That way he gets exactly what he wants and I don't have to stress.  It's a win-win in our relationship. So creating our own cards for each other is always our little secret "gift." This year was fun because Ashlyn was old enough to help me decorate and sign his card.
