A Weekend of Celebrations

Can we talk about da best weekend ever? It might be a long post, there were many things to make it wonderful.
It began like this...

Once upon a time there was a boy and girl and they got married. They were pleased as punch (this is an expression I am making an effort to use multiple times today). Six months exactly after they got married was a Saturday morning, the day before the girl's birthday. So with two special days together, the boy and girl decided to spend the whole weekend being absurdly happy.
On Saturday morning they woke up late and the girl made swedish pancakes (LOVE!) while the boy cleaned the kitchen (double LOVE!). Then they went to the store to buy the girl presents, including cake pans and bread pans, so the girl could be the best little housewife ever.
The girl already had many presents from her husband, including a thermos, the Hunger Games, and the Sound of Music. (Because every day since my haircut I look in the mirror and think of Julie Andrews as Maria Vontrap)

Then the boy and girl went to Sammy's, which besides being tasty was also very awesome. For no particular reason Sammy's gave the boy and girl each a free milk shake. Then a waitress looked at them curiously and said, "I wonder what your kids will look like," and the girl said "So do we."
Then the boy and girl went home and the girl baked herself a birthday cake with her new round cake pans, while the boy watched a documentary about high school.
When the boy and girl walked with their friends to Sam Hawks for Korean dinner the girl got a surprise! The friends, Cole and Suzie, stood up on the library garden wall and played Happy Birthday on a kazoo and recorder, then lifted up their baby's shirt to reveal words written across her chubby belly in marker: Happy Birthday Becky!
And everyone laughed.

Dinner was delightful and the girl and boy ate lots of korean food and learned a few new words, before going home to a party! The girl and boy had many friends there, and they had so much fun! All their friends wrote birthday wishes on the blackboard wall, and told Becky her cake was the best they'd had in a long time.
When the boy and girl went to bed that night they were sure tired, but they got up nice and early the next day because, Suzie, the birthday elf had brought them french toast and parfait for breakfast. Then they went to church, came home and took a nap and then
LET THE PARTY BEGIN AGAIN! Can you believe it?
The boy and girl went to the boy's parents house, where it was the boys' dad's birthday too! They ate cake and the girl and dad opened presents. There was an embarrassing moment when the girl couldn't stop saying foreplay over and over, even though she was just trying to foreshadowing. Foreshadowing, foreshadowing. She just couldn't get it out.
They went on a long walk, and then watched LIFE on the discovery channel.
When the boy and girl finally went home they collapsed into bed and slept until this very morning.

Sometime soon, though, when the girl has a little more time, she'll show you the pictures of the baby's belly that says "Happy Birthday" and of the girl and her friends, and the boy and his handsome smile. And everyone will be happy because anniversaries are so fun, but two in one is the very best.
Thhhhee End!

Thanks all, for an awesome birthday.
