Perfect Imperfection

Since I’ve been out of commission I haven’t been posting about all the fun stuff that’s been happening in our lives over the past month plus.  So here’s a little recap!

1.  We celebrated Aaron’s birthday and I’m so glad to say he’s catching up to me.  Since I’ve opted not to age this year he should be caught up in no time.  I wanted to make this year special for him without spending a fortune so I decided to throw him an incredibly cheesy themed birthday.  For those of you who don’t know my husband let me just tell you he loves all things techy.  His new favorite passion is the ham radio.  YES, the ham radio.  If you will let him, he will happily tell you why the ham radio is so cool and will one day save the world.  So being the fantastic wife that I am I threw him a “Ham Radio Birthday”.

In my mind I have creative abilities that rival Martha Stewart.  In practice, however, the end product is always a little less fantastic than I had imagined.  I made him a cake in the shape of a ham radio.  Once again, I have proved just how special I am.  It looked slightly more like a tombstone than a ham radio but what can you do.  At least I’m getting the practice in with my husband’s cake not my kids so that our kids won’t get labeled because their mom makes weird tomb shaped cakes.  To make the cake more festive I covered it with black sprinkles and some special food coloring that made it more black.  This had the fun effect of turning everyone at the party black.  Lips, mouth, etc.

2.) My husband planned a fanstastic surprise date and took me dancing.  It was so much fun!!  There was a real live band playing big band music and I loved every minute.  It was once again confirmed to Aaron and I that we can’t dance; but we sure had fun doing whatever you would call what we were doing.  It was so much fun to be out dancing with him because the last time we had been dancing was the night we were “unoffically” engaged.  Dancing brought back a flood of fun memories from when it all began.  Man, I love partying with my best friend for eternity.
