Hippo Birdie Two Ewe.

Yes, it is the wonderful, spectacular day of Curt Martin Isenbarger's birth. It is a day where the entire world stops to celebrate this glorious occurrence. There are monumental parades, fireworks, and dance parties going on all day and all night, just for Curt. No exaggeration. Let's have a run down of our day today.

Woke Curt up, around nine by jumping on the bed, singing the beloved "Happy Birthday tooo you" in my lovely morning, scratchy voice. After that we danced around for quite sometime. It is a required activity on one's birthday.

After that, Curt wanted his birthday gift. Very understandable, knowing that it has been sitting under our bed for about two weeks now, teasing and torturing him. But, he didn't peak once. He's not about that. So, drum roll please...

Admiring.

I pulled out a LONGBOARD for Curt. He had no idea. Let me tell you, it is super hard to surprise your husband with a gift, ESPECIALLY when he works at your bank and can check everything you buy. So I had to cash one of my checks and search around town for the perfect board during the few hours we were apart. It got difficult. Hiding it is even more trickier. So, we plan to be long boarding around for a while.

Later, we headed over to the Isenbarger's to have Curt's birthday dinner. Let me tell you, he requested a 5star meal. This was the menu:

• Honey glazed salmon
• Bacon wrapped shrimp
• Sauteed spinach
• Grilled zucchini and squash
• Grilled pineapple
• Salad
• Apple Crisp

Lynn's famous Apple Crisp. NOMMM

Pooma is a great candle blower

I could not believe the meal Lynn and Craig prepared for Curt and Pooma. It was spectacular. If you ever are considering a place to eat, I recommend the Isenbarger's. You may have to place a reservation though.  After the wonderful meal, it was PRESENT time again. Party NON STOP.

But wait, there is more. YESTERDAY we celebrated even more for his birthday at MY parents' place. We had cake, presents, and balloons there to warm up for the Purdue football game.

SWEETEST balloon ever, named George.

In conclusion, one's birthday is not a one day affair. It is an entire WEEKEND. Nay, the entire month is dedicated to your birthday. It's a pretty big deal.
