Looking back on the past decade, I realized that it’s so easy to remember the hard times but what happens to all the good times? Stay with me as I capture some of the greatest moments of my life.
Post the hubs Birthday I emailed my rental suite contact and thanked them for working with me. I sent them a few photos from the Birthday with the following message
Although the surprise was the best part of the night I am pretty sure the attached photo shows what my husband thought the 2nd best part of the night was.
The response?
Haha, now we know what you’re dressing up as for Halloween!
I am pretty sure my husband is convinced that this is what I am going to be for Halloween next year. (keep in mind I don't usually even celebrate the holiday)
I booked the 40 person super suite at the Madhouse (which was freakin sweet BTW) and was able to get 40 of Landon's friends and relatives to travel to Chicago to join us on the hub's very special day. At first I was surprised about how much interest there was in coming out for Landons Birthday, but let's be honest, I have a pretty great husband so I wasn't that surprised.

the Birthday boy with all the girls in his life
the birthday boy with all the girls he wants in his life, go ice crew?
Sometimes my words aren't enough. Post the hubs getting his tattoo on Saturday we were driving back home. I realized that in only a few hours my husband was going to be 30 and I couldn't be happier to have some one so great in my life. We were just about home when this song came on. It took me back to my younger years, when I used to hope to feel how Alanis Morissette did at the time of writing this. I hope the hubs knows that everything this weekend was for him of how he makes me feel, Head Over Feet
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was
You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service
You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience
You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now
You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
PS I'm a big sucker for acustic music, so let's let the lady herself take it away
Wait time out this is funny, before the hubs could get a tat, his buddy had to shave him. There were some jokes here about the hubs next tattoo being on his butt.
Post tattoo time we did something unthinkable - well unthinkable when you're old. We went to the hubs favorite bar at Purdue and we day drank. Well not me (someone had to be the sober sailor), but the hubs had his little cousins over for some fun at Jakes. We ordered his favorite menu items for lunch and beverage and we played about 100 games of the card game @ss hole. The best part was one of our good friends and the lady who married us joined in on the fun. Hi JD (had to name drop since I know she's a loyal reader).
After the Jakes day time fun, we made our way to Mad Mushroom, because apparently that's what you do at Purdue. Every one was having fun.
So much fun, that no one wanted to leave.
Here's where the hubs called grandma, the little cousin was so happy to be talking to her.
Thumbs up from the cool guy on the right. Go Captain Awesome.
I thought that Landon was super mad at me for making him go home. What he didn't know at this point was that he'd be seeing his cousins tomorrow. SPOILER ALERT the next day I threw him a surprise party. More to come soon.
What are you supposed to do on your last day in twenties? Is there one thing that every one should have done at least once in their twenties? Luckily for me, I still have a few years (deep sigh - thank goodness), send me any suggestions so I can work on knocking them out.
But this post isn't about me, it's actually about the hubs. He has exactly one more day, 24 hours to be exact. Exactly one more day in his twenties.
How does he want to spend it? Exactly like it started. At Purdue, hanging with friends and (here's the kicker) and he is going to have his best friend give him a tattoo, a Purdue Pete. Yup my husband is getting his college mascot branded on him. It is fitting. College is where many people spend time defining who they are and really start thinking about who they want to be.
But lets go back to the awesome part of that last paragraph - his friend, his groomsman is an artist, in fact he's a tattoo artist. How many people get to say they got their tattoo from one of their best friends? Not this girl, but for sure my husband.
Going back to sleep for a few hours. Should have some photos for you from the Purdue/Tattoo/last day of Being 29 Road Trip next week.
My husband is turning 30 this weekend. So I thought I would do a nice thing, you know. Come home from work early last night, get all his laundry done, cook dinner, do all the dishes he left in the sink...ect and make some funfetti cupcakes for him to bring to work today. Even at 29, they are still his favorite.
I thought I was super wife, that was until I got 3 text messages from the hubs this morning. Apparently the girls at work out did me.
