I know it's been a couple days since I've last posted. Been a bit hectic over here. Well anywho, my post for today comes from SweetShoppeDesigns' blog. They are celebrating their 3rd Birthday and I've decided to join in a few contests/challenges to try and earn points and/or GC! LOL You can check out today's HERE.
So I am supposed to recall a favorite birthday memory. There's a couple, but I think the MOST memorable one has to be when Q actually celebrated my birthday and took me to my first Hawaiian Luau at Paradise Cove 2 years ago. He's not big on celebrating birthdays. He didn't even say Happy Birthday to me on my 25th birthday! Growing up, my parents always made us feel so special that it was our day. It was pretty much like a Birthday week. Receiving Birthday cards/presents from friends and relatives and what not.
So needless to say, I don't get much of a fanfare from dear ol' hubby! LOL Well, I received cards, phone calls, and even my Kuya (older brother) sent me flowers! (It was for Mother's Day/My Birthday). I came home and saw them on the kitchen table and thought Q actually did something sweet. Nope. They were from Kuya. LMBO! So I was a little hurt, but not showing it to Q or thought I didn't show him anyway. When he said to get lil man ready because he was going over to our friends' house for the evening. I was wondering, hmmm, he's not good at surprises, and I'm always snooping around if I suspect a surprise. So I thought he arranged something last minute because he saw how sad I was. So I just went along with it and kept asking him where are we going. He wouldn't tell me. I kept asking for hints and he still wouldn't tell me. I was getting very antsy and frustrated! LOL. We had only been in Oahu for a few months and he was driving to a side of the island I don't really go to, so I was COMPLETELY lost! (Nervous, because when we first moved here, we were lost for 3 hours and drove around the island!)
Come to find out, dear ol' hubs planned ahead and ordered Luau tickets to Paradise Cove. (I know he had to do this in advanced, he got military discount! And if you know me, I LOVE getting a discount!) He said I could have whatever I wanted that night. I was so touched!
My FAVORITE part was during dinner. Of course, they gave a shout out for my birthday, BUT Q got on stage and did the HULA! WOOHOO! It was a great night! He is sooooooo shy and normally he wouldn't have done it for me. He does NOT like a mass group of strangers staring at him. But he went up for me, on my birthday. *I think maybe he likes me just a little* Here's a couple BAD phone photos from the night:
