14 Days of Birthday

Remember how I'm older than Dawson?  Well there are 2 weeks out of the year where we are the same age, and ever since we first started dating years ago we've joked (but been serious) about how those were the best 2 weeks of the entire year.

So since Dawson is IMPOSSIBLE to buy presents for, I decided to be super creative and do the 

14 Days of Birthday

for him!  And also for me, since a lot of the things I got him included the two of us.  It was so much fun, and after buying presents and doing so many fun things it made me realize that maybe money CAN buy happiness....

Just kidding, I really would be perfectly happy and content if all I did was sit and stay home doing nothing with my husband.  And just so you know, I budgeted, schemed, used hook-ups, coupons, gift cards, etc. so that the whole 14 days cost under $200.  Dang I'm good! 

 But still, I wouldn't hate being rich someday.

Here are some of the presents that he got:

Day 1: Birthday Party

See here

Day 2 : Rodeo

 Day 3: King for a day

Day 4: Couples Massage

Day 5: KFC Gift Card

Mind you one of Dawson's favorite things in the world is going to the KFC Buffet with Jeff Wilson

Day 6: Undisclosed Gift

Day 7: Surprise breakfast

Chocolate donuts with chocolate milk was on the menu

Day 8: Movie and Nielsens night

Day 9: Pedicures 

Day 10: Circus

Note: We have made a resolution to never go to a Circus again.  It was just too heartbreaking to see all the animals in tiny cages and see their sad eyes.  That elephant was speaking to me, she wanted us to break her out.

Day 11: Tie Rack

Day 12: Reason's Why

Day 13: Jazz Game

Day 14: Ender's Game

I keep trying to get Dawson to read my favorite book so I bought it for him

If anyone ever plans on doing this, I suggest that you DON'T work 6 night shifts during the course of the 14 days, it certainly made things a little bit more difficult for me. But it was worth it and still so fun... Happy birthday again lover!
