Day 6: 6 talks on CD by Troy Dunn
Day 5: Racquetball Glove (5 fingers)
Day 4: 4 quarts of chocolate milk
Day 3: 3 tulips (in AUGUST! Basically, that's almost impossible, unless you are cool like Robert :)
Day 2: He got 2 of my music books spiral bound.
Day 1: Robert wrote me a song :) I was expecting some cheesy romantic love song. But this one is just full of fun memories :)
Here are the lyrics if you don't want to listen to the whole thing:
I know where I belong.
It’s just right here beside you.
So I made up this song.
Cuz’ I’ve no home without you
In this song I tried to fit
As many memories as I could
I hope you really really like it
I hope it’s really really good.
We’ve come a long way from hiding by a water fountain pioneer day last year.
A 5 year break a divine computer crash and wha-la we made a pair.
At your birthday party I was smooth, I caught the snitch with ease.
Those starry nights we hid from dogs or frolicked in the fields.
We had some time to think about it while I was gone away.
You better know I thought about you every single day.
Sometimes it felt those phone calls didn’t seem enough.
To see your face, to hold your hand, I wanted it so much.
So we took a plane or a train or an automobile, to see you was so nice.
A diamond ring at stake conference, you were so surprised.
We danced in the snow and cuddled up close and we talked about our plans.
I didn’t know then how much I’d love being your main man.
So you dressed in white and you took my hand – that day was the best.
I can’t forget how gorgeous you were in that dress.
This marks the beginning, not the end of the song.
You’ll notice there’s more lyrics, I hope it’s not too long.
Cuz then we went to Disneyland, you tripped skipping in, and I hit on a gay guy.
I remember our first night there, sandwiches by candlelight.
At first we were rich and then we were poor, but having fun all the time.
Our primary class, thanks to us, is reverent sublime.
So to end this song for now. I’d just like to say,
I hope you liked it and that you have a happy birthday.
So many fun memories. If you want the story behind any of these lyrics let me know :)
Anyway, my birthday was fabulous. Robert made me breakfast in bed. I got off work early. And a big group of us went to the Nickelcade and then to Tucanos Brazilian Grill, including Aaron and Kaci who came up from Arizona. I LOVE TUCANOS! I eat more there than I eat at Thanksgiving and it's SOOOO GOOD!!
Afterwards we all played games together. It was such a fun day! And a fun 2 weeks leading up to it, thanks to Robert :) Anything and everything that I mentioned that I wanted, even if I mentioned it just once, I got it in the 12 days of my birthday. I have the best husband and the greatest friends!! And all of my family and more friends were calling, texting, and/or emailing me all day long wishing me a happy birthday. I'm so blessed! THANKS EVERYONE!!!!
Happy birthday Heidi!
