So, Saturday was my birthday. It wasn't a big one (that comes in another six years), but Mr. Prefect loved it because it's a double-digit: 44. He loves double numbers.
Game Boy and Beatles Lover were with us the whole weekend again (very nice!). This weekend was also Taylorsville Dayz. The city celebrates with a three-day carnival/fair, fairway rides, free concerts, and fireworks. The big acts this year were an Elvis impersonator and Imagine (a Beatles tribute band). The fireworks happen Friday and Saturday nights after the concerts, and they are amazing. I wonder if maybe the city spends a good 1/4 of the year's budget on those fireworks.
Saturday evening, a very dear friend got married. It was a beautiful ceremony in her parents' backyard with dinner after. We were still able to get home in time to change, grab the kids, and dash to the park for the Beatles tribute and fireworks. We have tried to convince Beatles Lover that she could easily learn to drive my car (2009 Nissan Sentra 6-speed) so that they wouldn't have to wait around for us to go places, but I remember how intimidating the idea of a stick-shift was when I was 16 and a newish driver. But the kids still had time to meet up with friends, get some dinner (pizza at the park, what could be better?), ride some rides, and enjoy themselves immensely.
Mr. Perfect and the kids gave me Wii Fit for my birthday. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Oh no! A man should never give his wife a gift that has to do with exercise or fitness because it's a sign that he thinks she's fat." Not so. This is something I've been wanting for quite some time, so when I opened it, I was so excited. I haven't had time to try it out yet, but I did put the board together before leaving for church Sunday morning.
Sunday evening, we celebrated again with a delicious cheesecake with fresh raspberries and real (yes REAL) whipped cream. I am so loved!
