My sweet sweet husband turned 25 on March 31st!! Now he is old like me :D I wont hear that I am old again for at least 6 months now. haha. This year we ended up having a pretty low key birthday for him. Since none of our friends live down here and we have not made many yet, we decided to keep it just us- at least for his actual birthday.
I had to work :( but we got lunch together and when I got off work I had planned to make his favorite meal, make a cake, and then we were going to go out to the movies :D
When I got home John was playing Xbox with Brad and he was having a lot of fun. I walked Carter so John could relax and have fun and then I made his cake and dinner. I was glad he was distracted :D When all of that was finally done, we ate his favorite- parmesan crusted chicken and I made squash, zucchini, and carrots with it along with some garlic bread :D After dinner he opened his cards that he got from people and the present I got him. Since we are trying to save money and pay of loans, we have decided that for awhile we wont get each other much. Anyway, a few weeks prior I had found the 1992 Sports Illustrated that has Jimmy V on the cover. I figured he would like it and it would go great in our State room one day! Of course he loved it :D One of the cards he got was not addressed from anyone and when he opened it, it was "from the dog." it was PRECIOUS! The dog on the card looked JUST like Carter too! John thought it was me and I had to convince him it wasn't. lol later we found out his mom did it. He LOVED the card and loved even more that she had thought to do that for him. :D
After dinner we took Carter out and played with him some since we were going to be leaving for the movies. We tried to make him as tired as possible :D it worked too! he went right to sleep :D
John and I left for the movies right after. Thanks to the AMAZING groupon, I was able to get tickets to Lincoln Lawyer for only $6 a person! they were half off!! SCORE! so we splurged a little while we were there because of that and it was Johns birthday and got popcorn :D YUM. Movie Theater popcorn is my favorite :D I am such a fat kid. haha. The movie was EXCELLENT! we were almost the only ones in the theater which was nice too :D The movie was long so we didnt end up getting back until like 1 (it started at 10:25). It was worth it though!
It was a great low key birthday and I am so glad John enjoyed it :D I love him so much and would do anything for him to make his birthday awesome!
When we got home we took Carter out to go potty and I headed to bed since I had to work the next day and had a LONG day ahead. Unfortunately, it all went downhill from here. Carter did NOT want to sleep. He wanted to play. I tried putting him in his crate and he whined. I let him whine for a long time hoping he would go to sleep, but he didnt. So about 30 minutes later I got fed up and put him in bed with me hoping he would go to sleep. He laid and down and then proceeded to roll around and want to play. I just laid there hoping he would calm down and go to sleep. He did this for like 45 minutes until I got fed up again and put him back in his crate. He FINALLY fell asleep around 3. A little while later John came to bed and that woke him up and it took him a little while to fall back asleep again. Then around 6 he started whining so I took him out to potty and he just wanted to play. I ended up leaving him on the patio and then of course 10 minutes later he started barking to be let back in. Then I put him back in his crate and he whined, then I tried the bed. By 6:45 I wanted to cry because I hadnt slept well at all. John ended up getting up and taking the dog into the living room because he knew I had to work. He is SUCH an amazing man. I slept from about 7-8:30 when my alarm went off. I felt SO tired that it made me feel sick :( I went out to the living room and John and Carter were still awake and I told John I was going to have to go in late because I felt so bad. I called and told people and went into work about 11:30. The extra sleep was nice, but I still felt bad. I took my temperature at work because I felt so bad and had a fever of 100 degrees- I think it was just from being so tired. I feel like I have been fighting something off and lack of sleep was not helping. I was SO mad at Carter. I know I shouldnt be, but I was so freaking tired.
John ended up sleeping as long as he could after that and I felt so bad for him! I wish I didnt have to work so I could have watched Carter while he slept. He is a great man though. We did learn our lesson with putting Carter to bed so early tho! NEVER again!
Other than that I know John had a great birthday and we still plan to go out with our friends here when everyone isnt so busy. :D
