All Eddie wanted for his birthday this year was an acoustic guitar. He went back and forth on if he really wanted one or not, even though he has said he has wants one for the past few years. About 2 months ago he sent me a link of a place online I can buy the one he wants. I tried buying it online but things were going wrong with the order so I decided not to get it. Went home that night and asked in all seriousness if he really wanted one. He said, no...it's too much money. Well about 2 weeks ago he asked me where I have been hiding his present? Um, hello...thought you said you didn't want one. I went into panic mode, I deleted the e-mail he sent me and how was I suppose to find out which one it was. Well luckily I was able to retrieve that deleted e-mail. I called all around locally to see if anyone carried the one he wanted. Well I found one 2 days before his b-day. So, I went and bought it on my lunch break and wrapped it at work. But how was I suppose to hide it from him for 2 days. So, I thought of a plan. I'll hide it in the shed!!

I had to wait until he was upstairs to be all sneaky and move it from the trunk to the shed. But it worked. I needed to hide it, cause he would obviously know what it was.

So, I thought of this plan...how am I going to make him go see it? As you can see we store extra T.P. and paper towels in there. I asked him to get me some toilet paper out of the shed and his response was, "is that where you've been hiding my present!?"

He was so excited!!
Oh and look, my tulips are starting to bloom. Thought I'd take a update pic while I was outside.

Opening his new favorite toy!!


He was tuning it within minutes of opening it. While I was doing domestic things, unloading the dishwasher, fluffing the clothes in the dryer, straightening up...he went upstairs and what was he doing? A tutorial on beginner guitar lessons.

As we were leaving for Ruby River steakhouse he said he forgot something and came back down the stairs real quick. I couldn't help but make fun of him that he was kissing his guitar good bye. He wasn't... he was getting his wallet, so he says.

Eddie got his favorite. New York steak and we also had shrimp cocktail....which was a waste $8 for 6 shrimp. Oh well, he is worth it!!

I got my favorite Steak Oscar, it is a steak with crab on top. I also opted for the cinnamon yams. They were good. I thought I was all being healthy by getting the yam instead of the fries or loaded potato, until I looked closely and realized it was deep fried. It was so yummy though.

Eddie also got a cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory from his parents. It was so yummy.
