I promised him I would not post that....
but I cant help it
The story behind it is that his birthday was.. Tuesday of last week..
And I remembered..
I remembered through our packing.
I remembered while we were driving.
I even remembered our first day there...
Then I got swept up in all the people , places and things and I forgot.
Just out right forgot..
Then, on his birthday he tells me on the way home( home- hotel room) that I forgot his birthday.
I flick my hand at him and said " PPPPPppffff .. No I didnt "
And kept driving.
I woke up the next morning and looked at him sleeping and realized I had forgot.
We got to Dys and Dianes and I whispered to Diane " im a horrible wife. Ians birthday was yesterday" We laughed and both thought nothing of it..
again.. forgetting.
Later that night Diane brought out that cake in the picture and I had made the joke about it being for Ians birthday.
Eva had arrived and was in the kitchen with us so I told her the story..
Thanks to her quick thinking and Dianes waiting until late to open the cake, THEY ( not me.. ) THEY dug out a taper candle.. Because he is so old ya know... there is no room for regular candles.. Put the taper candle in the middle and Eva trotted herself right outside singing happy birthday at the top of her lungs to him..
I still forgot..
*edited-
and in all fairness.. Ian looks silly because he was right in the middle of conversation, one hand with a beer and the other hand on Jillian.
'tis the reason for the silly pose..
He was really caught off guard.. *
( the retard.. )
