...from one of my most favorite children's books! In fact, thanks to this book we have a sort of "tradition" around here with the girls. Jake is always telling them that he loves them to the moon or Africa or whatever far away place he can think of. Then Lauren always replies, "No, you love me to Africa then back to Shafter then to the moon and then back!" ha ha
Anyway, as I was writing this yesterday Jake got home from work and called me into the kitchen. He was standing there with a smirk on his face and holding something behind his back. He had bought me something. He never buys me things. I'm not complaining and he never complains about me buying anything for myself. Just saying....he never buys me anything. It's fine. Really. He handed me the item....and I screamed. A green ipod nano. I said, "Is this for my half birthday?" Are you tired of hearing me say "half birthday" yet? He just sort of stands there with this bewildered look on his face and says, "Ummmmm, yes! Uh huh! That's exactly what it's for!" lol. He didn't remember. That's okay. Neither did I!
But my mother-in-law did! She always does!

HAPPY HALF BIRTHDAY! I think it is really sweet and special that your MIL remembers that day for you. You totally deserve to celebrate it with your birthday being on Christmas. You never get to celebrate with friends on your actual birthday!
I am drooling over your new iPod! How sweet of Jake to get you one! Does it play videos/movies?
How sweet! What a wonderful MIL you have! Jus never buys me stuff either, so when it does happen I know it's from the heart! But, like you said, he never complains when I buy stuff...gotta love 'em!
Just wanted to say I love reading your blog. It was fun doing Zumba with you Tuesday. You look wonderful for 22 1/2 years old:-)
