So yeah. We both have June birthdays. And we both decided it was best to not exchange gifts this year. Well we said we wouldn't spend money on gifts. I found a loophole by scoring a free bike for Jesse. My friend had one he didn't use and it was a really nice one. So I got Jesse a sweet sizzle bike but didn't spend a dime. And then for my birthday Jesse put gas in my car and bought me a new bike helmet. So he broke the birthday buying rule. Buuuuuuut....I forgave him. How can I not accept a new hot pink bike helmet and tank full o' petrol? I simply couldn't not accept such perfect prezzies.
The weekend was full of fun. Good ol' fashion laid back fun. I didn't even shower on my birthday. Usually I get all gussied up and go out with friends. Nope. This year was super chill and laid back. Bike rides, wine and beer, swimming, s'mores...perfection.
I will leave you with my status update from today on the Facebooks. I am so grateful. Birthdays can make you grateful. Or they can stress you out. I have allowed my birthday to stress me out in the past. So many times. And it's dumb. Oh so dumb. This year I decided to be grateful. Ok. I was kinda a birthday b!tch for a few moments. But it was short lived. Promise.

Happy birthday to both of you! I cry every year on my birthday, it seems like. Probably from too high of expectations not being met, just like you.
Sorry you didn't get a surprise pony. I've been waiting for mine for 20 years.
My best friend has promised a flash mob for when I get married. Let's see if she can follow through.
Glad you had a good birthday! :D
Happy birthday! I seem to have high expectations for my bday too and end up crying! Hope it's a good day for you!
happy birthday!!! i try not to have as little expectations as i can for my birthday. that way, everything is a good thing.
Happy birthday!! :) I always expect perfection on days like that, and when you expect it, evreything goes wrong. So I feel ya there!
happy birthday yet again and i'm so glad you had a great day! :)
haha and an 'amen' and 'i hear ya' on "my wifery skills could use some steppin' up too". our apt. looks like it when through a bear mauling, mr.c ran out of work shirts (b/c i forgot to wash some), and about a zillion other reasons lol
Happy birthday!! It sounds like a great day and your rule sounds like me and my husband...I would come up with something free and he would break the rule. :)
Happy belated birthday to you! I am also guilty of having too high expectations in the past, but I also felt like I was growing up this year when my 29th birthday wasn't as big of a deal to me. Laid back birthdays are the way to go :)
Sounds like a great day! I agree. Birthdays have a way of upping our expectations and they're hardly ever met. Instead of worrying about who was coming out or making an effort to celebrate with me, I realized hanging out with my husband was the only important part :D Glad to hear you had an awesome birthday lady! Next up - one year wedding anniversary!
My birthday was pretty amazing last year - a weekend in Milwaukee and a trip to Six Flags. That'll be pretty hard to beat this year. I'm thinking maybe Ren Fest!
I'm glad you had a good birthday free of tears!
I almost always feel disappointed on my birthday too. Glad this one was good! :)
Happy belated birthday! Glad to hear you had a good one. I agree, birthdays can be tough sometimes!
I mentioned flash mobs a few days before your birthday!! Doesn't that count?!
Hope the first week of being 29 was fabulous!
Happy (belated) birthday! Cute blog, btw.

I agree that birthdays can be really stressful. I think you are right though, it is so much better to just relax and enjoy. Glad your day was awesome! Happy belated birthday!
