I'm sure he's going to love that I'm announcing his age. Oh. Wait, he's a guy. He doesn't care! (So unfair, right? Guys age, it's all good. Guys get gray hair and they're distinguished. Why doesn't it work the same way for us? Of course I say this as I approach a relatively rather large birthday myself...)
Bella and I woke Charles up with traditional birthday cheesecake. OK, I lie. It wasn't the traditional home-made recipe. I used to make Charles his mom's cheesecake recipe every year for his birthday. It makes a ton-o-cheesecake. No joke! And we used to eat it all...just the two of us! Over the years, I've noticed he's been eating less and less of it...and more of it goes to waste. Something about it not "agreeing" with him... so I cheated and got a mini cheesecake and still it went unfinished!
I surprised Charles with Sounders tickets and surprised him with the Trujillo's joining us. Well, I thought I did up--until game day. I had been planning on the Sounders game for some time since we'd never been. I'd lassoed the Trujillo's into joining us several weeks before B-day. So, one Friday night the week before Josh came over. Charles' dad, Charles and Josh were going to work on the Jeep. While Charles and his dad went into the garage, Josh and I stole away to purchase the tickets. Seats found, tickets bought, print. PRINT. PRINT DAMN IT! No print. Couldn't figure it out so I emailed them to Josh to print at his house.
So, I later found out that I didn't quite cover my tracks. Charles went to print out his dad's airline tickets that weekend. When he reconnected the printer it went ahead and betrayed me by printing out the tickets and all that had been in the cue! FOILED BY THE CUE! Aaaaaand, of course they had Josh's name on it (since I so cleverly had him purchase them with his card so it wouldn't show up on our statement) so, Charles also knew they were coming with.
Despite my miserable attempt at a good surprise, we had a great day and enjoyed the game immensely! Sounders won!
No birthday is complete without a trip to the limited time only Star Wars exhibit. If you know me, you know this was nothing but complete and utter LOVE and DEVOTION. The tidbits of information about the movie were interesting, but not enough that I would watch any of the movies. Yes that's right folks, pick up your jaws, I have never watched Star Wars.
May the force be with you, or, however it goes.
