30

Happy Birthday Christopher! Now people will be even more surprised to find out that you are not 23 years old. (Two girls he works with asked him how old he was last week, he told them to guess, and they both said 23... happens all the time). Chris' birthday was the on the 19th. We spent the day going to church, hanging out with his family, eating birthday cake, hanging out with my family, and eating some more birthday cake. The two of us celebrated the next night by going out to dinner. Believe it or not, it was the first date we've been on since Macy was born. My parents babysat tiny for us, she had the time of her life and was a little disappointed when we came home. We went to Benihana and they tried to sit us at a table with a squirming 1 and 3 year old. I kindly told the hostess that we would not be joining their group as this was a kid-free night. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and felt like giddy teenagers.

Chris' present wasn't arriving until 2 days after his birthday, but there's something wrong with turning 30 and having nothing to open. So I made him a book from Macy "30 Reasons Why I love My Dad. " The reasons were specific to the two of them and had a picture for each one. I think he liked it. Happy 30th birthday Christopher, I love you.
