Birthday Month

Not only is it my birthday in March, but it is the husbands birthday as well. I use to not like the idea of having both of our birthdays in the same month. Now, I have come to love it! We get to eat out, go shopping and have presents throughout the entire month! For a second year in a row now, instead of buying presents, we take each other on a shopping spree. It's nice because we can choose whatever we want. Considering that we don't spend money on ourselves often, it is nice to be spoiled! The husband chose some movies or some crap like that for his shopping trip and I came home with this loot...

Almost everything was discounted, even the makeup was buy one, get one free! 

On top of the shopping trip, we both got to choose a restaurant and dessert for our special days. The husband picked a little Italian restaurant in town that has ahhhmazing food and great prices. Afterwards, we went to a little mom and pop place for some chocolate malts. On his actual birthday, I started the morning with breakfast in bed (doughnuts and McDonalds, I was going the health route).  I made him a homemade dinner and bought a movie so that we could have a date at home.

For my dinner I picked Boston's, the husband had never been there before. He loved it just as much as I do, the best part? We found out that THEY DELIVER!! This could be dangerous not only for my wallet, but for my love handles.

Afterwards, we went to Cold Stone for some creamy delicious ice cream. It was a beautifully sunny day! On my actual birthday, I got woken up to breakfast in bed (McDonalds again) and then the best friend took me to the casino for some free money ($30 with my reward card!), out to lunch and we even fit in some shopping.

She sure spoiled me!

When the husband came home, he sent me on a wild goose chase. He handed me an envelope that read "Clue #1". I then continued on around the house in search of clues. At each spot there was another envelope and a small present. Scratch tickets, my favorite candies and even a movie (Perks of Being a Wallflower...best movie ever made!). It was SO fun! I have never gone on a scavenger hunt before. I sometimes found myself walking running to the next spot to see what awaited before I had even opened the previous gift. I was nervous and excited!

My brother even happened to surprise us with a projector! Most years he tends to forget my birthday, so I was shocked that not only did he remember, but he even got us a really nice present! We have a movie theater in our living room now! Our new favorite thing is to have people over for movie night now.

We both said that this was the best birthday month that we have ever had. Relaxed, drama free and enjoyable. I even asked if we could do it again this month :) He voted no. Next year is the big 30. I don't know if I should crawl into the fetal position, or scream with excitement? My twenties have not been the best, so I am ready to start this next chapter of my life.
