First of all.....
about a week ago, Scott bought me 4 (maternity) dresses for the summer!! And they are super cute....or at least I think so.....
Then....yesterday was my 'real' birthday (and I was not expecting any gifts).......
I had such a bad attitude yesterday because well, I had expectations that I didn't think
were going to be met. I feel like God continues to tell me over and over again....stop having
all these expectations of others....find contentment in me and me alone.
But......
with all the said, I still did have a bad attitude. Since yesterday was my birthday (I turned 21;) ) I really wanted to have a date night with my hubby. However, all week, he mentioned nothing except that our family (Scott, me and Blaine) would be going to dinner at a resturant of my choice for dinner..... Dont get me wrong....I dont mind going to eat, the three of us, but I was just wanting one on one time with Scott. And when I didn't think that was going to happen (and aftera few other happenings) I let myself have a bad attitude......but I couldn't be too upset because when I got home from working a couple of hours yesterday morning, there were a DOZEN PINK ROSES
arranged in a vase on our kitchen table!! That did make me happy. Since I didn't think
Scott and I would be having a dinner date last night, I was really slow to get ready. And let's
just say when Carol showed up last night to babysit I was not expecting her nor was I ready for
our date:).
And the date Scott planned.....
Movie together: The Last Song (which I have wanted to see for a long time now) and
Dinner and Dessert at La Riveria.....it was really good.....but the best part was we had reservations! We had a great time...... We went to the movie first and then dinner. Between the movie and dinner, Scott surprised me with a set of real pearl stud earrings!!! (soooo excited!) I was able to wear the earrings to dinner!!!
I have to say my birthday was great and I loved our date night:)
And about the busted lip.....I dont have a busted lip but our poor baby must have slipped this morning (in his bed) and hit his lip....because it has been swollen all day....poor sweet Blaine!
thank you for reminding me about the expectations we put on people!! wow did i need that today. happy birthday friend! i'm so glad you and scott had time together!
