Happy Birthday Honey!!

Well today is my sweetheart's 27th Birthday. I can't believe we are getting so old. :( It has been a pretty laid back day so far. Eric woke up at 6 am to play World of Warcraft. Then we had a nice morning making Eric's birthday strawberry cheesecake. For the last four birthdays Eric's sister, Bonnie, made his birthday cheesecake. Since she was working today and we are moving away in a couple of months I thought it was time I learn to make Eric's favorite cake. It was actually very easy. It also tastes very good.




Eric went out at noon to do service, scouting for food. He picked up food left on doorsteps to donate to hungry families. While he was gone I was busy wrapping presents.

Eric got another Wheel of Time book in hard back. That is his favorite series of books. There are 11 books and they are all huge books. There is suppose to be a 12th one but the author died in September. Eric was pretty upset about that. Hopefully someone will help finish it.


Then Eric got wireless headphones. Now he can stay up late and watch t.v. without waking me. They work through out the house. They are pretty neat.


The final gift was Eric's surprise. He had no clue what I got him. I got him a new battery for his laptop. Since he is going back to school I thought that would be a practical gift. The old battery has pretty much died. It only lasts about 30 minutes fully charged. I remember when we were dating, Eric carried his laptop every where. Now that the battery doesn't work it just sits on the desk plugged in. I think he liked the gift.

We are going to go to "On the Border" a Mexican restaurant for dinner. We are just waiting for Bonnie to get off work so we can go with her. I hope Eric has enjoyed his birthday hanging out and doing the things he loves.
I am so excited to celebrate with him. I am truly grateful to have him in my life. He has taught me so much about life. I love how he is always positive about everything. He is always looking on the bright side. He never gets mad at anybody or anything. He has definitely rubbed off on me. He would always have the attitude "It doesn't help the situation to get mad" or "have low expectations and you will never be disappointed." Because of his example I find myself a lot more happy and willing to work through situations instead of get upset.

He is a wonderful husband and father. He has always made it his goal to make me happy. I love those days when I would come home and find a clean kitchen or the floor has been vacuumed. He is always looking for ways to serve me and take care of me. I know I am lucky to have such a wonderful man look after me. I love it when Aaron just looks at Eric and smiles really big. I know that Aaron loves his daddy. Since Eric gets to take care of Aaron when I go to work, I know that they are having fun together. Even though Eric is 27, he is still a kid himself. He loves to sing songs and make weird and funny noises. Aaron loves it.

Happy Birthday, Eric!!! I love you so much!!!
