Christmirth Gifts

Yup. You read that correctly. It’s Christmirth gifts that I got. One week of Christmas gifts and seven days later I got birthday gifts. I just made that up with my stellar intelligence that I possess. Be jealous…or keep quiet due to copyright issues if you’ve read this before.

So I got a few things here and there for Christmas, but the most awesome things I got are related to this blog, so I thought I would share.

My husband sees me go in and out of stores every week wanting terribly to buy certain things for myself, and I just can never bring myself to do it. I have a serious issue with feeling like I am worth that money that is spent on something that I want, and not simply absolutely need it. I have always been this way, and am working on the desire to feel worth buying myself something with my personal cash just because I want it, and not because I have to.

That being said, My husband and my mother in law set out on a journey to conspire together to get me something that I have wanted for a very long time now to go with our Wii system….

My mother in law got this for me for Christmas and I almost jumped out of my seat after I unwrapped it!

My husband got these for me for my birthday!

SOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!!!

I have not even begun any programs on either of my workouts, because it is a heavy work week, and I have actually been going to the gym. So I will have to let you guys know how awesome they are this weekend! Anyway, I was so delighted and overjoyed.

My husband made this birthday the best birthday I have ever had. I do not have awesome childhood birthday party memories or even any adult parties to speak of that were particulary awesome and memorable. He didn’t do anything in particular like a party, but he just made sure that I knew that it was completely my day to be happy and celebrate my birth with him and his family. It was awesome. I felt so amazing, and better than I had in a good long while.
Friday for New Year’s Eve, we went to see the Christmas exhibit in the city, had Mexican for lunch and then went to the casino for a dinner buffet & the countdown (courtesy of his VIP Aunt, yes I know, I know…VIP…I keep my comments to myself).

 

Saturday we went out to breakfast at our favorite place with his cousins, and get this: the waitress didn’t sing that obnoxious version of Happy Birthday, clap loudly, dance on the tables, or whatever the heck they do….she gave me a hug. It was priceless. 

We then spent the evening with his parents playing taboo, watching movies and eating my awesome birthday cake! 

 

I don’t know how to really express how amazing I felt that they went through all the trouble to make me feel special. I just felt so blessed, and quite honestly it pretty much wiped away all the Christmas misery that I had.

Best. Birthday. Ever.

Thanks for reading,
