tonio's birthday

My handsome husband turned 32 on thursday the 22nd of may

 German chocolate cup cakes with coconut pecan frosting

 We also went out to lunch with Pierre and Sebastien; Nancy was home sick =(

And Seb made us dinner that night - dinner and a movie in the living room =)
We're thankful for family - Seb, you really helped redeem the day - thank you.

For some reason, ever since i've known tonio, the actual day of his birthday is just blah... we make the most of it, but it makes me sad, because i'd love for it to be a special day - i guess it was "special" in that we got absolutely drenched walking into town in the rain... grrrrr! and brrrrr!

Last year was so bad we decided to celebrate it in July... that never happened =(

Thankfully, there is always the day after, and it seems to get a little better after that.
I love you mon amour !  You are loved despite the days circumstances.

Love Linz
