It's amazing how you live with somebody for a long time and you think you know exactly how they think, and you think you know what they can and can't do. You always say that they can never surprise you. Today is one of those days for me. Being my birthday and all, I was expecting a traditional birthday with a cake and people singing Happy Birthday. Well the singing was there but everything else was a surprise. There was no cake, no snacks, no table filled with goodies. there was 4 bowls on the table, 2 with cereal for the kids, 2 with fruit salad for me and my hubby, next to my bowl there were flowers picked from our garden. In the middle of the table there was a jug of juice, a large bowl of yogurt and a canister of muesli. Next to my daughter's bowl the was a small present wrapped with a gold wrapper. The anticipation was getting to me as I sat down and everybody sang. My daughter came and gave me the present inside there were silver earrings with diamonds, I was so happy I kissed them all. I started to eat my breakfast thinking that's it. But then I was told to look at the flowers next to me. As I was busy smelling them I noticed a photo of me and my husband when we were still dating. The photo was taken by his brother, on top of the photo there was a gift in a gold wrapper. I was told to open the gift first then read the note on it. Inside there was a box written sterns the jewellery company. I thought not more earrings. As I opened a white gold diamond ring stared at me, the note said "Say I do".
How wrong was I. I always thought that I know my husband so well that he could never do anything to surprise me. Well he did, and as I said I do three times the tears came roiling down my face. It is really a Happy Birthday!!!
