T-minus 1 Day

Yesterday was ONE day until D's birthday. He got home, we ate dinner, played a couple games of Rack-o (because we're cool like that) and I told him he needed to be ready to leave the house at 7.

Several weeks ago, D had mentioned that he would like to go see the movie State of Play.

>>>>>Mental note for Tami <<<<<

So I coordinated with J, S and T (D's 'boyfriends') and they were scheduled to pick D up at 7 and go see the movie. I had bought the tickets earlier (side note: I always buy movie tickets at costco now...instead of costing me $42.00, it only cost me $30!), so all they needed to worry about was getting D and walking in. Oh, and I told them to text me when they were driving into D's neighborhood.

Anyway, D and I were sitting on the couch in the front room. I'm telling him I love him, Happy Birthday, you're amazing....blah, blah, etc.

I get the text. The guys are almost here.

So....

I say: "Remember how you wanted to go see that movie, State of Play?
D says: "yes."
I say: "well, tonight you get to see it." And then I pull out 4 tickets and hand them to him.


I say: "And I am not going with you."
D looks really confused, and then I pull the blinds, and he sees J, S and T walking up the path.
D says: "My friends are HERE!"


Oh my word, it was adorable, like a little boy seeing his friends coming to play. Precious I tell you.


He put on his shoes and practically s
kipped out the door.
The other guys didn't mind a night out and a free movie either.

I love that he was happy and excited. That's was birthdays are for!!!



In other news......

I spent last weekend with D and his family in PH. It weather was gorgeous so we spent sometime outside playing with his nephews. Here are some cute pictures.
