richard had a birthday so long ago that it seems like he's practically
29 already. not really, but this post is long overdue.
its only taken me a little more than 5 years to say this with complete
confidence, but on august 2, 1983 richard smith greeted the world
with a face that probably looked something like this:
i don't know why, but until recently i kept thinking he was born in '82.
dumb. i know.
anyway, his birthweek started out with pizza for dinner and a ksl special:
his very own secondhand nintendo gamecube. he looked a little worried
when we had to travel to a sketchy part of ogden to pick up his "surprise,"
but it was worth having him think that his wife had become a
drug-runner for ten minutes.
on tuesday - the actual birthday! - i gave him yet another surprise:
ballroom dancing lessons. kidding? not even a little bit. here is the
voucher i bought online with a groupon (with no consent from richard):
and here is the bloody toe you'll get if you do the same thing to your
husband on his 28th birthday.
it wasn't really that bad - we both loved our 6-week class! our teacher's
hips moved like gumbi's, and we made some fun new friends. not to
mention, we now have samba moves that will shock and amaze everyone
who knows us. it was so fun to get out of our regular routine and learn
something new together! plus, it's pretty sexy being able to really dance
with your husband - he's a regular gene kelly...only straight.
we did other little things throughout the week to make richard's birthweek
a special one (his big present from me was an i-pod touch!),
and we ended things on saturday with breakfast at the
ogden farmer's market. delicious crepes enjoyed right in the park.
and we washed them down with the best mint limeaide in the world.
i've always been one to enjoy a birthday, whether its my own or making
it fun for someone else. and i have to say that when you love someone as
much as i love my man, it makes you wish you had enough money to make
it an entire birthmonth. happy birthday, richard - 28 never looked so good!
