Happy Birthday Erik!!!

Today is my lovely husbands 33rd birthday. I am sitting here thinking of all the reasons that I want to celebrate him today so I am just going to list my Top 10.

1. He still makes me laugh every single day.
2. He always opens the door for me.
3. He is the best dad I a mom could ask for. He plays with the boys, changes diapers, gives baths, and steps in when I am about to lose my patience.
4. He makes a mean egg sandwich and breakfast burrito, the "Erik Special".
5. He calls me every morning to see how our day is going.
6. He mows the best looking lawn in the neighborhood.
7. He remembers that a girl never minds getting flowers.
8. He went to prom with me my senior year even though he was 20.
9. He plays Rockband and golf like a pro.
10. He has put up with me for 15 years and tells me (most of the time) that he is looking forward to the next 50.

Last night Erik stayed home with Alex, Anthony was at my Aunt Diane's, and I went out with my friend Holly who I have not seen since I was pregnant with Alex. We ran into Brian downtown and had a blast!! Erik was waiting up for me when I got home to make sure that we all got home safe. That actually shocked me because by the time I roll in after a night with Holly he is usually tucked into bed. It was a nice surprise!

It was awesome seeing Holly. She is getting married in a month at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis. It is her second time around but she is marrying her high school sweetheart Garret(who she should have married the first time). I told her that high school sweethearts are the best route to go. Erik and I are both looking forward to her wedding because you can always count on having a good time when you are with Holly.

Today Anthony is off to the zoo for Jack's 3rd birthday party. Tonight Kristi was kind enough to agree to come over and spend some time with the boys well Erik and I go have an adult supper, yay!!! Thanks Kristi! When we get back we are going to end the night with some cake, ice cream, and the birthday song.
