Birthday Partaey

Yes I know I misspelled Party and yes I know how to spell party. With all the memes going around Facebook right now with misspelling the word pregnant…. Just throwing out there I can spell Party.

Anyway last month (since we are in November now) we attended a birthday party for our friend JP. She turned 6 or am I crazy and she turned 7. Wow now I’m questioning myself…. let me consult… She is in fact 6.

Anyway… let’s say that again :)…. we went to JP’s birthday party. woohoooo! It was a Halloween theme. Abug didn’t dress up in anything other than a dress… she likes dresses these days….

My Birthday Present

Since it’s hubby’s birthday “week” I guess I’ll continue on with Birthday thoughts…. So the day before we went to the Corn Maze my mom and I went to Rogers, Arkansas to pick up hubby’s birthday present. While we were there I made it a point to go to the Williams Sonoma and pick up my own birthday present. I’ve had my eye on this for a while, but wanted to see in person before I just ordered it… so that’s what I did. I bought my birthday present.

Happy Birthday!

Today is hubby’s birthday! Yup, he’s the big 34. Holy crap. I remember when I thought 30 was old. Now we’re in our 30’s. I saw one day on Facebook… you know because all great information comes from Facebook… that we’re not basically older than the Friends characters. You know… like before the TV show went away. Anyway… back to hubby….

I laugh, but it’s true… every year hubby’s birthday seems to draw out for an entire week and this really isn’t any different. We gave him his present on Monday night (Oct. 31) because my dad was going out of town today. Today is his birthday. Then Saturday night we’re going out to dinner for hubby. My birthday sometimes I’m lucky if I get a day. This past year I really didn’t get any kind of day. It was awful but again, we’re not talking about me… we’re talking about hubby.

So what did he get you’re so anxiously wondering?

Why, he got a new smoker. Ours died earlier this fall or was it late summer… either way, it died. He likes to smoke meats so I went on the hunt to find him a new smoker. The original one we had was a Masterbuilt, but this time around I went with a Bradley. There’s no rhyme or reason, just what I chose for him. Mom and dad wanted in on the gift, so bam, the smoker was bought. Then they got him some smoker chips because how fun is it to not be able to use your new toy. Oh wait, we gave it to him at 9:30 at night with no meat to smoke. Ask him how he felt about that :).
