"But You Only Turn 28 Once!"

Today is Danny's 28th birthday! I've been trying to plan something special. But whenever I ask him what he wants to do his response is "it's just a birthday." My response? "You only turn 28 once!"

To me, a birthday isn't just another day. Hell, I celebrate my birthday for a full week! At home I always had a birthday with family, school friends, Boston friends, work friends...I would have an entire itinerary for the week! I try to do it for other people, especially my husband..but most people apparently don't like celebrating!

So what did I end up planning? It was still up in the air until this morning! A) Drive to Myrtle Beach and go to the Dixie Stampede. Hey he's wanted to go all summer! B) Make prime rib and lobster at home.

We went with B!

Danny spent the morning playing Call of Duty (shocking, I know) while wearing his brand new shirt, a present from Miley! I'm pretty sure he has this shirt in every color.

Then we headed out for the day. We got some movies, went to the mall for a bit, got the Sunday haircut (oh wait, long weekends through me off...it's Tuesday!) and went to lunch. There are so many Mexican restaurants in Jacksonville, this time we ended up at Mi Cabana. It was better than most of the other places in Jville! We drank before noon, but hey...a day off is like vacation, right?

We headed to the store to get some lobster. Lobster is a strange thing down south. Where do you even get it down here..from a stranger on the side of the road? Yea, I don't trust people that much! So we went to Food Lion and found out that they only have lobster tails. $4.99 for one. Better than nothing...I guess.

We hungout with Miley for the rest of the day. We haven't had a weekend to do nothing in a long time. And for once, I'm actually okay with doing nothing!

Dinner wasn't as great as I wanted it to be. I wanted a whole lobster! But instead we ended up with a dinky tail, that doesn't have $5 worth of meat in it! Danny liked it, so really...that's all that matters. And we had Omaha Steak prime rib and a bottle of wine. I think that's a pretty great birthday!

We're going to make some chocolate chip cookies and watch a movie in a bit. But for now, I'm finishing up my wine and watching Danny check for IP's on his uniforms. Until yesterday I didn't know what that meant!

Happy birthday handsome, I love you more than you know.
