Today is my birthday. And, well. That’s kind of a big deal. I’m not like all into myself or anything. It’s just my favorite day of the year.
Oh, Dusty. You mean you enjoy it more than your own child’s birthday? Of course, I do. It’s MY birthday. It’s apparently not that big of a deal to some other people. I won’t go to namin’ names. But, Kris has just been a little preoccupied lately. And, to think his preoccupation has been around my entry into this world would lead me to one big letdown. I’m not bitter or anything. I just keep reminding him that my birthday is kind of a big deal.
Last night, I asked him if he wanted to do a guest blog and describe 34 things he loves about me. (I’ve seen it done by some other bloggy husbands.) Anyhoo, he was like, “I’ll do it after my meeting tomorrow morning.”
As if my OCD would EVER let me post a blog that late in the day.
N.E.V.E.R.M.I.N.D. I said in the most understanding wifey voice.
Later in the evening, he decided he needed to make a run to pick up some ink cartridges. Uh huh. I bet you are.
You can bet he did. Pick up ink cartridges, that is.
Not to worry. I have no problemo going to buy my own birthday present.
Truth be told. Here are a few of my favorite gifts.
Getting aluminum up to two-five-o is kind of a big deal. I have my own private pilot. And an even better husband and dad.
Seriously. Be still my heart. And to think. He lives down the hall from me.
To never be short on pure joy? Well, that’s a really big deal.
There you have it. My three favorite gifts (and a few of my vacation pictures.)
Happy Birthday to me.

Hey Sis! Happy Birthday. Love you lots…and yes, you do have a great family there in okc. Give them a hug.
The best presents are the ones we pick out for ourselves(using their credit cards, of course!!! Happy Birthday Dusty!
Oh, to be so young that you are still excited over your birthday! Have a great one!
Happy Birthday! You already have the best 3 presents a Woman and Mother could ask for…the material things always tear up, break, or go out of style anyway! Yes, tell Kris he can go ahead and send me a check for saving him a lot of money with the above comments! lol
Happy Birthday! And yes, mam, John Henry looks so much like Bryan in that picture! Wishing you a “Sting”ing day!
Happy Birthday! I hope it is the best birthday ever. Hearts and smiles to you from me.
Happy Birthday my friend! I was going to say my very best friend in the whole wide world (but I know that may cause some controversy). I love you and hope you have the best day!
Happy Birthday Dusty! I am all about the birthdays, LOVE THEM! I hope yours was great!
Oh happy day, oh happy day… when Dusty was born, yeah yeah… I always buy my own B-day gift and it’s okay. There have been years where he would wait to the night before and say that he had been so busy that he hadn’t had the time to go out and get a card (b/c you know they only sell those the day before your b-day) What is up with that?? Anyway he is slowly improving. haha I hope that your day was splendid and that you had some quality birthday attention from the ones you love. Love ya girl!!
Happy Birthday! I think I will tell you 2 more times for 30 comments sake! 🙂
happy birthday!!!!!!!
from your favorite cousin, no not mike ——– “mark”
OMGosh How can John Henry look just like you but just like Bryan ? Just got caught up on your blogs today so it’s a day late but right from my heart- Happy Birthday. Hope it was great!
