I thought I would give a recap to all the birthday festivities that went on yesterday. I always meant to post about Matt's birthday as well, but I kept putting it off and now it seems a little too late. Next year I'll be better though.
I woke up yesterday morning, as I always do now; to the sweet sounds of Kinley babbling in her crib. I do love that she is so happy in the morning, really that she is happy all the day long. Matt took care of the diaper changing, brought her into me for some snuggles and got right into the kitchen to make me breakfast. By then, I knew it was going to be a good day. He made me my current breakfast favorite which is waffles. During breakfast I told him that I was thinking of starting the fitness challenge I agreed to, since I was feeling a lot better.
*side note 1: A woman from my church wrote a post on Facebook about wanting to do a squat and plank challenge and asked if anyone would like to join in. Of course, I said yes!
**side note 2: I have been fighting a sinus infection for the last week, worst one I've had in a long time!
(okay, now we are all caught up)
Matt then kept asking me when I wanted to open my birthday present, to which I kept replying, "oh, we could do it later this evening, or right before we have cake or something." But that didn't seem to be good enough. He was so antsy to give me my present and kept saying, "Don't you want to open it now? Don't you want your present now? I really think you want your present now..." So I gave in and I made my way to the couch and he told me to close my eyes. I opened my eyes to find a big gray Nike bag...
Now I'll be honest, my first reaction was, "you got me a Nike bag?! Why?" But he seemed too giddy about just a bag, I knew there had to be more... I opened the bag to find my awesome pink training shoes! I have wanted a new pair for a long time, and I've been swooning over all the bright crazy colors Nike was coming out with. I couldn't believe that he picked out these shoes all by himself! I was quite impressed and so anxious to try them on. I put the bag down and was about to give him a big smooch for my awesome gift when he said, "There is more." I thought, there is more? What? He told me to open the bag one more time, and I pull out a pair of hot pink yoga pants. At this point I am over the moon! He put a lot of thought into this gift and I love it! I love my shoes and my pants so much! I put everything on and got right into my workout. I truly believe a cute pair of shoes and some hot yoga pants can totally motivate someone to get their sweat on!
After my workout and a shower we headed to the movies to catch a matinee of Cinderella. We figured it would be the best time to go with little Kinley since it was a Monday in the middle of the afternoon. And we were right! The only other people in the theater was another mom and her little girl. The movie was fantastic! Kinley was a little squirmy though out the whole thing and she didn't like the fact that the volume of the movie was louder than her, no matter to her though, she just talked louder. Haha, that baby is going to be one chatty girl! Oh! The other great part about the movie was that Matt let me sneak in lunch for us! I have a little confession... I love sneaking food into movie theaters! It's a big guilty pleasure of mine. I feel so mischievous, without doing anything seriously wrong. It must have come from my mom sneaking in candies and popcorn for us when we all went to the movies when we were younger. So I got to watch my movie while eating tacos, which were much more fairly priced then a bag of movie popcorn.
** I tried to get a picture of the 3 of us at the movies, but the lights dimmed too quickly and I forgot to get one afterwards.
After the movie we walked around the little outdoor mall where the theater is located. I needed to get a little something for me to wear for our family pictures coming up, which I cannot wait for! We then, picked up my cake and headed home for a much needed nap for Kinley.
Matt and I were still full from our tacos so dinner was a little later. Since Kinley and I were both under the weather last week and still not at quite 100% we decided to order in some pizza. That pizza hit the spot! Since dinner was a little later, as soon as we got done, it was Kinley's bedtime, so we put her to bed and Matt and I hung out for a bit. Since we were still full from the pizza, we didn't take out the cake until we were about to go to bed! Matt lit the candles and sang the obligatory birthday song. There was no need for me to make a wish, my day could not have been any better, so I blew out my candles and had the littlest sliver of my delicious Nothing Bundt Cake. (I've never had these cakes until we moved to Texas, but I am so in love! Matt got me a White Chocolate Raspberry flavored cake, per my request) It was heavenly!
My birthday was amazing, I got so many phone calls and texts and messages on social media, I never felt so loved! I wish more of our family could have been here to celebrate, but we made do, and it was still fantastic! Thank you to everyone for all the birthday wishes. I am truly blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people! And a special thank you to my husband (who probably won't even realized I posted this.) He made sure I felt special all the day long and I truly did. I love him dearly and I can't thank him enough for all that he does for me! So, here is to the big 2. 8. We have some crazy plans for this year! I can't wait to see how it all works out!
