Super Bowl Super Dabby Birthday Super Party






















Today is Shawn's birthday! We celebrated yesterday by giving him this. Yeah, I know. Quite a gift.
We've been married for 18 years, and never had a new one.
The one we were sleeping on was bought at least 10 years ago at a Hotel Garage Sale! YiKES! (I try not to think about it)

So, it was time...
I got up early and went with my dad to go get the present at the furniture store. We dumped it on the highway, and had to take an alternate route home at 35 mph. It took forever! Then, I took him out in the afternoon while the mattress was moved into the house. (thanks girls! you are burley!)
When we got home, the girls had a party all set up and the room was ready... mood music, a bottle of water, and a bunch of candles.....

We also gave him this.. but it turned into more like a three hour one... :)
I don't want to spoil all the gifts, I'll let him blog about his favorite 3000 gifts later!

I told him that since his birthday is on super bowl, he can just think of it as a whole bunch of birthday parties all over the world! People celebrating for his birthday!

Happy Birthday Babe. I hope you had a great nap!

editors note: the reason for this blog title is that when we came home, the girls had made a sign - it said "happy birthday super dabby" -- Emily is at that age where she mixes her b's with her d's... so she keeps writing that and we keep saying it!

coffee

I have to take issue with something. Dave Ramsey... love him. usually. But, today... I got an email from him (not because we're personal friends but because we've paid to take his FPU class)... and he had the NERVE to say that coffee is not a necessity. it is a luxury. I'm contemplating my open letter to him. Something like this... Dear Dave, Although I appreciate all that you have done in your life and ministry, I have to take issue with one point. Coffee is not a luxury. How can I ask my husband to extend a special line item in our budget for Starbucks when you continue to claim that it is a luxury? Let me educate you on the value of my daily Starbucks .... First of all, it is research... when I get the necessary funds, I plan to open my own coffee shop, and it is vital to my financial peace that I complete the research needed for a successful coffee shop. Secondly, ... have you SEEN me in the morning when I don't have it? Do you work beside me? No... you haven't

Quick! Call an Ambulance!

I went on a bike ride with my 9 year old yesterday. Okay... I will wait a minute while you gain your composure. You don't have to be so loud about it. I had been promising her that we would go on a bike ride together for a few days. Why didn't I promise her a trip to Starbucks for a nice hot latte? So, we ditched a few responsibilities and went on a bike ride. But, I didn't have a bike. So, I was going to walk. She said I could borrow Abbie's bike. Except Abbie has the bike seat from the land down under - you know what I mean. And my rear was not meant to sit on that tiny thing. But, I rode it anyway. After we crossed the street, we started heading down the road and it was pretty nice for a couple minutes. Luckily, my dad lives 2 blocks away, so we had to stop there to say hi and to tell him that we are on a bike ride. Then, we headed back on our bike ride. We left my dad's and there is a slight hill. Emily got tired just-in-the-nick-of-time so I had to walk
