David's Birthday

Last Saturday was David's 25th birthday!  I felt bad because I didn't have a lot planned for the day.  I let him sleep in for a long time (one of his favorite things to do)  while I got everything together for our trip to Wyoming and for getting our taxes done.  I woke him up just in time to go meet with our accountant and we went and got lots of money for our tax return!  Ok, maybe not lots of money for everyone else, but lots of money for us!  I think that was a good birthday present.  After that, I helped David with his homework so we could leave on our trip.  I drove so that David could sleep and relax.  It was a very long drive.  We were going there because my nephew was getting blessed.  We ended up getting there just before dinner got over, and ended up having cake and ice cream for David! (thanks for providing the cake Mom, and the ice cream David and Emily)  After that we went to our hotel (again, thanks Mom and Dad!) and had a lot of fun swimming with Joni, Chade, Ledger, Emily, and the boys!  And that was pretty much David's birthday.  Kind of boring so I hope David still had fun. 

So now time to talk about how awesome David is!  I know we have a VERY different relationship than most couples.  My mom has said that we act more like siblings than a couple because we are always teasing and being sarcastic and joking around rather than being smoochy and super nice and all that newlywed stuff.  But I have to say, I like our relationship better!  David is my best buddy ever.  Whenever something happens to me, he's the first one I want to tell.  Even when I crochet or sew something and I know he could care less, I still have to show him so that I can share it with him! 

He's also really great because even when he thinks I'm being ridiculous, he'll still induldge me.  Like my obsession with animals.  He thinks I'm so dumb when I freak out over cute puppies or kittens, but then when he sees some kind of cat video or picture on facebook he'll immediately show it to me so I can gawk over it.  It makes me laugh every time because he knows I like stuff like that and I know he doesn't, but he still shares it anyways.

I think the thing that I'm most excited for is when we finally have the baby.  I know David's going to be such a good father.  He is so good with little kids and is super excited to have one of our own.  When I first found out I was pregnant, I had a really hard time.  I don't like to tell people this because I feel like it makes me sound like a bad person, but after I found out, I was terrified and scared.  I wasn't excited.  I wanted to cry because of how awful I felt.  I knew I should be excited, but I couldn't do it.  I didn't even want to tell David because I wanted to wait until I could feel even a little bit of excitement.  But then I realized, that was stupid.  So I told him and he did everything I hoped he would.  He was so excited, his face lit up, and he did everything he could to help calm my fears and help me to be excited about this new phase of life!  It really meant a lot to me that he didn't judge me because of how I felt and simply tried to help me feel better.

David does some things that drive me crazy and sometimes I get a little overwhelmed by his extroverted-ness, but I'm very glad he's in my life.  He loves our little family and would do anything to make me happy.  Happy 25 David, and I'm looking forward to celebrating many, many more birthdays with you!
