Great Birthday Gift
Hello Everyone!
This was a great weekend. How could it not be? It was my birthday on Friday and we had a great time.
First, I want to tell a little about my week. It has been a little while since Michael and my wedding. Reminiscing about the special day and everything surrounding it had long ago ceased. Well, when the Telpners came to Belize they brought with them our wedding pictures and five hours of unedited wedding video. Over the week I got to emotionally tangle myself back into what is definitely the best day of my life. I shed many tears. Watching family and friends all around us showing love is an amazing thing to be able to watch. Most of all I loved seeing Michael and I having the time of our lives. Not only did we have huge smiles on our faces, but the video allowed me to see the way we look at each other with total love and devotion. We are lucky.
Friday night, Michael gave me another reason to feel lucky. This being my first birthday away from home and everything familiar, Michael planned a great night. We started off with drinks at the Andrews home. Pat and Chita, Scotiabank's General Manager and his wife, shared a bottle of wine with us and their daughter Josie. Josie, Paula, Michael and I then headed to a Caribbean style patio bar right on the sea to meet up with some of our new friends from the bank. The bar was great. Live reggage music and the island atmosphere made for an 'everyting irie' time. Michael then took me out for a romantic dinner at Harbour View Restaurant right on the water. I received a phone call on my cell from my family, cousins and all, singing happy birthday. After a relaxed meal and 'Happy Birthday' singing we headed home. It was perfect.
Details aside, I had one of my best birthdays. Besides being able to wear a tank top outdoors Michael never ceases to amaze me. It wasn't the party or dinner that meant so much, it was Michael's desire to make sure I had a great birthday. It's so simple but means so much. Looking back at our wedding day I realize I am a part of a marriage that that is so honest in it's care for one another. I know that the way we looked at each other on our wedding day is way we look at each other everyday and for that I am lucky.
Turning 27 in Belize has been memorable and i owe it all to Michael.
