And so, let's chronicle the days of the celebration and see how sweet my wife was to me this year!
Day One
Day One saw me gain two important assets. The first- Ped Egg (as seen on TV)
As you can see, not only was I thoroughly surprised, but also supremely pleased at receiving such a fun gift! I've already tested it out, and boy, is it fun.
Also, Alexa gave me (not a toothbrush, but) a car scraper. That's just me being silly. As usual.
Day Two
Day Two continued the fun with Zebra pens! These are quite possibly the greatest pens in the universe, but for some reason they are hard to find here in Utah. Nevertheless, my wonderfull wife found both the ballpoint and the gel versions.
Day Three
Day Three saw me getting a knitting kit! These are the circular kinds of frames that allow you to make beanies. I am very excited. (Man, do I look goofy in this picture of what?)
Day Four
The day before I thought that I was going have to wait before I started making beanies for lack of yarn. But little did I know that the very next day I would be getting some fantastic colors to work with!
(The funny thing is, Alexa didn't think that I was seriously going to make hats for myself. She thought that I was going to continue a ward project and make hats for charity. That can certainly be on the agenda, but so will personal beanie making...)
Day Five
To end off the birthday celebration, I got a big hymnbook! It's spiral bound, so it will even stay open all by itself. Yay!
(Alexa got herself a hymns-made-easy book).
Today
Today, just the day after my birthday, I finished my first beanie. Isn't it great? I think that I will wear it tomorrow.
Doesn't it look great!?! I'm so proud.
Happy birthday to me!
