HAPPY MATTY WEEK! ~

This week is FILLED with time for me to be THANKFUL for my wonderful Husband!! Thursday is his 29th Birthday, and this Sunday is Fathers Day. He was not sure if he wanted both of these special days so close, but I doubt he minds getting the "PIMP" presents he receives as a Happy Birthday-Happy Fathers Day JOINT gift!! This year he gets to enjoy TWO Fresno State Football Season Tickets and a SWEET pair of Boardshorts. We used to try to surprise each other for our birthdays, and we just learned that it goes SO much better when we know what the other person is getting us.... when he picked out some boardshorts, I laughed because it reminded me of a past birthday experience....

The first year Matt and I dated, I bought him some nice boardshorts and a shirt, and he returned them to the store and got himself some sunglasses that he wanted. ( I think they were Dragon's or something....) At first I was hurt, but he said he really did like what I had gotten, he just wanted the sunglasses more because he had alot of boardshorts and shirts already! Then I realized that it made sense to get what you really want, so we gave up on the SURPRISE and we give a list of things we would like and then we get a surprise of what we actually get off the list! ~
I am SO happy to be able to Celebrate my husband! He actually did the MOST wonderful thing on Sunday night. After the kids were in bed (Hailey was not asleep, but she was on her bed) He just stood up and gave me a BIG BEAR HUG and just held me. It was one of those hugs that was just SO needed. I started to cry because we really don't get these special times that often with the "daily grind" of life, and we realized we need to remember each other EVERY day! ~ I love you Matty! ~ The above picture was when Matt Graduated from Fresno State!! One of the BEST days of our lives! ~

I know, it's so hard to remember the romance in the daily grind! I kinda had a reality check this past weekend when Eric and I decided to turn off the TV and computer all day - surprise, surprise, we had more time for each other!! : )

I love those little moments of affection. Such a great reminder of why we fell in love.

Such a sweet post about your hubby. We kind of gave up on the surprise thing too. Robert use to always take my gifts back and say the same thing Matt did. I you are going to spend the money you might as well get something you really want. Happ b-day Matt!
