Well, my 30th birthday came and went. Ugghh!! I still can't believe I've reached the Big 3-0!! Eddie was wonderful, though. He got me a GPS for my birthday. It's so AWESOME!! It has already come in handy and I've only had it a couple of weeks. I don't know how I lived without one for so long.
The big kicker of the month is how Eddie and I celebrated Valentine's Day. Friday night of V-day weekend, we went to Ponder to help co-host a kid's Valentine's Day party that my sister-in-law was hosting for my nieces and their friends. That was a lot of fun, but half way into the evening Eddie started complaining that he wasn't feeling well. We decided to stay in Ponder for the night, rather than drive back to Dallas (we crashed at Eddie's parents' house). The next day, Eddie and I went to see a house (we're still shopping for houses) with Kristen's sister. Eddie continued to mention that he wasn't feeling well, and it seemed to progress throughout the morning, so after viewing what we thought was going to be a good buy, but turned out to be something slabbed together using cheap materials and inexperience, we headed for home. Initially, Eddie had made reservations at what sounded like a REALLY nice Italian restaurant, but our “Romantic Table for Two” was quickly canceled after I realized that this wasn't just a case of lack of sleep. Eddie curled up in bed and that's where he stayed...under 3 layers of blankets...for the rest of the day. I decided that if we weren't going to his Valentine's plans, then I was going to bring V-day to him in bed. So, I ran out to Hallmark, stood among the many husbands who had waited until the last possible moment to get their wife a valentines card and picked out a card that perfectly illustrated my love for him, went to Tom Thumb and picked up some chocolate covered strawberries, went to Target for some fun little additions to complete a Valentine's Day basket surprise, and then, just as I was heading to get some Chinese before heading home, I received a text asking for Taco Bueno. I couldn't ignore my sick husband's plea for his favorite fast food, so I detoured to the closest Taco Bueno and picked up his usual "Beef Buenochilota, chips & queso and a side of Jalepenos" plus a little something for me and then headed to the house. We relaxed in bed for the remainder of the evening, watching Star Trek (the newest movie version recently released to DVD) and just enjoyed each others company.
I awoke the next morning totally sympathizing with Eddie and his need to post-pone our Valentine's Day dinner plans...for I had what he had!! Talk about a bummer: having no ounce of energy to get out of bed to spend Valentine's with your newlywed husband!! We spent the entire day in bed, minus a few hours we spent with my family who had planned a family get together to celebrate my and my sis's birthday. We were sick and there was nothing we could do about it!! Yuck!! Eddie was sweet enough to get out of bed long enough to run to the store and get me a card, flowers and cough drops...how sweet is that!!
Continuing into the week with my cold was no enjoyment either. We were going to postpone our Valentine's Day ron-de-vu to the following weekend, but I ended up sick all week and needed the weekend to re-coop. So, our V-day dinner date has continued to be put on hold. I think we're FINALLY going to get a chance to enjoy our reservations this upcoming weekend with a side note of Happy Month #10!!
