Pat's 30th Birthday

Unfortunately, Pat's 30th birthday fell two days after I had my surgery to remove my tumor. I was layed up in bed, totally drugged up, but I tried to make the day special. I had purchased a cold stone cake and Macbook Air a week before which I was pretty excited about surprising Pat with. However, I realized I didn't cover my tracks enough when our Mint.com account sent Pat and update of where our money went that week. It was pretty apparent that I had bought him the computer when Pat saw that $2,000 went towards electronics—DANG IT!

Even though Pat's birthday gift was a bust, Doug and Mariah were able to make it a little more special when drove out to visit us and made Pat a "Better than Sex Cake" from scratch. Such great friends. 

I am so thankful for this man in my life. The past six years of marriage have been total bliss as Pat is able to make me laugh when I am mad or sad, and knows exactly what I need. He is an example to me of how to love and be friends with everyone.

I wish I could have provided a more exciting birthday for him on this 30th, but I hope he knows how much I love him completely and am so lucky to call him mine.
