It’s 10:31PM and my love is snoozing on my arm while I write this, we got her a birthday breakfast, then she worked, surprised me by coming home early while I was trying to set up a surprise tres leche cake from El Palote, we went to Ruibal’s and Calloway Nursery and got plant things, then hit up Targét for a couple of things, came home and she handed out candy to trick-or-treaters while I got dinner from Spiral which seems to be a birthday tradition since coming to Dallas. We spent the night lounging and watching Slither.
All in all it was a fairly small day, but there were a lot of moments throughout the day that meant the world to me, her asking me if we’re were going to go get a birthday breakfast like it was the only thing in the world she wanted, then seeing her zip back and forth in the nurseries looking at plants and worrying about what the best plant accoutrements would be… The way her face lit up when she saw trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood is burned into my heart I swear.
She was so sad when the first little kids walked by, she was shouting “I have candy!” and holding up the dish like a confectionery new colossus. She got some kids after we lit the jack-o-lantern though!
All in all it doesn’t sound like a whole heck of a day, but it was huge seeing my love be so happy, I think she had a good birthday! ^.^ I do love her, so very much!
