HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

What a great way to turn 26!!



Curt totally spoiled me on my birthday! Actually he always spoils me but WOW... he is just amazing!! I had the best day, and any day is even better when I come home to my sweet amazing man.



The day of my birthday Curt and I had a lunch break together so he took me to Quizno's! Curt, being Curt... made me hurry and eat as fast as I could so we could go home and open my presents.



I told him I wanted to wait until that night when we were going to have cake and ice cream with our friends. Do you know what it is like trying to contain a 6 foot 1, approximately 200 pound, child? OK, I am sure you do know if you have a husband.



So we rush home from lunch and with only a little time to spare I tore open all my presents!!! The most funny part about this is that Curt couldn't even wait until my birthday, so most of the presents I opened... I knew what they were.



To give him well deserved credit, he did save some surprises. It was such a fun birthday and I loved the gifts Curt gave me. He is the most thoughtful person ever. The best part of it all is he goes through a lot of work for each and every item he gets... meaning he finds it all for the best price he possibly can!!!


I want to give you an example of how bad, but good it really is...

If Curt would have spent full price on everything he got me it would have all cost the grand total of...

$2300.00 YIKES!!!!

One of the things Curt just can't keep to himself is the price he paid for things! He gets so much joy out of getting a great... make that an amazing deal! I figured if he told me how much everything was then I could share it with you. So the real total of the birthday splurge was.... (drum roll everyone)

$305.00 PHEW!!!

I still felt like that was a lot to spend on my birthday but I loved every gift so I didn't complain!

Its a really good thing Curt is the king of finding the best deals!!!

Curt-

You are the man. I wished I could find deals as good as you. I just yell at people instead of finding the good price. $300 though. I think you could have got that down to 70 or so. Maybe next year you can try a little harder.

Love,

Chris
