I have celebrated my previous 3 birthdays in 4 different countries-USA, Japan, England, and China. Can anyone beat that?
And about that box. A few days before my birthday, I was in the basement storage closet and noticed a huge box from my favorite store, Ann Taylor. I instantly thought 3 things.
1. It was just an empty box.
2. Randy had secretly made all my dreams come true, solidifying his title as "Best Husband Ever" in a single act.
3. If theory 2. was correct should I sneak a peek into the box and hope my ability to act surprised had improved over the years, or leave the box untouched and wait for my birthday?
In an instant I had that box open only to discover the cold, hard truth.
It was empty.
But now Randy knows what to get me for my next birthday. The one I'll be celebrating in Seattle where Randy will be slaving away as a resident at U Dub, short for University of Washington.
hooray for getting in and being so close to home!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the residency! You know, Seattle is only a 2 1/2 hour drive away from Portland . . .
ReplyDeleteGreat news!!! When do you move to Seattle? You'll love it.
ReplyDeleteI have a few friends in Seattle -- it sounds like a great place to live!
ReplyDeleteSo UW's the place huh? Glad to hear you guys have figured it out! And good luck with the box thing, I think this qualifies as a pretty UN-subtle hint
ReplyDeleteAwesome Mel! You'll LOVE it there!
ReplyDeleteWe're anxious to see you all again. Lawn mowed, plants watered ... everything secure on the outside - it's just waiting for the family! :) Safe travels!
You are coming here?! We are planning on leaving next year!! Argh! We gotta coordinate our schedules better :) Let us know if you need any help or tips. It's a fun place. Congrats to Randy.
