Today was a special day. Justin celebrated his 18th birthday...doubled. Friday he purchased bullets from Cabela's. The cashier asked him if he was over 18...he realized then that he was twice that age. What an age to be! With three loving, funny, and cute kids. A wife who adores him. Justin is one lucky man...and we are very lucky to be his family. Amelia made Justin several amazing art pieces using pen, ribbon, loose flower petals, and glue. She is into cards and scrapbooks right now. I think Ella gave her a new spin on what can be done with paper, scissors, and glue. She made a funny list of what Justin wanted for his birthday:
new monster truck
a shiny fishing pole from Cabela's
the stuffed elephant from Cabela's to put in our front yard
a blue tie with our photo on ita blue cake with blue beads around it
new socks
She sang song after song telling Justin how much she loved him with her heart and blood on his birthday. Today she wanted to decorate the whole house for a party that the Haley's would come to. Justin took the day off work. We drove out to Sterling for a change of pace. We had lunch at our favorite Mexican joint there, Santiago's. We found a new flat screen TV at Walmart. Ironically it was out of stock in Sterling but in stock in Sidney. Who'da thunk? Said TV is now hanging in all it's technological glory in the basement. We are cancelling satellite and going with Netflix and hulu+. Seriously, the TV has amazing quality. I earned all the cash for the new TV over the past few months! It is nice to have a little extra floating around. I almost bought Justin a new gun with my wad of cash but decided that TV would be more functional. Sorry honey...we will go to Cabela's for your real present tomorrow. LOL. Amelia snuggled with Justin at naptime. She read him two books and rubbed his back until he fell asleep. That was thoughtful! Happy Birthday to the love of our life. Thank you for all the effort you put into supporting us, loving us, and being an amazing father.
