The next 30 years

Yesterday Daniel celebrated his 30th birthday, and to make the day extra special he had the day off from work! We spent the day doing boring grown-up errands like getting the van into the shop and getting groceries, but it was so nice to be able to do those boring grown-up things together. A normal day is usually him coming home about 8:30pm and I've got my nose in a book and he gets on the computer, then it's bedtime. It was nice to be able to spend the day together just talking and being with each other. Who knew you could have bonding time while dividing up raw hamburger meat for the freezer?

Due to finances (the VAN!) we couldn't afford to go out anywhere for his birthday, so he decided he wanted pizza and jello for dessert. I can handle that! Isaac helped me pick out the jello (lime) which made me a bit nervous when I was mixing it up and it smelled like Pinesol. Dan wanted fruit in it so I made it all fancy just for him. While Isaac was at school we picked up the pizza and stuck it in the fridge to bake later. We had yummy pizza for dinner, and even Isaac ate it with the toppings on it!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, the only meat that child has ever had has either come from a corndog or from the occasional Happy meal! And the jello turned out super yummy, especially with Cool Whip on top. And it didn't even taste like Pinesol.
