31


Brandon absolutely, positively KILLED it for my birthday this year! And he didn't even have to spend a dime! The week before my 31st birthday we finally finished watching the series Breaking Bad. We had been watching for months and were sad to see it end. Me especially. I'm one of those who gets WAY too connected to characters and actually mourns when I don't have them in my life anymore. It's a disease, I know. On the morning of my birthday, though, Brandon gave me the greatest gift. He and the boys brought me breakfast in bed. They made me eggs, toast, grapes and topped it with bacon torn and strategically placed to form the number "31" on my plate. If you've seen Breaking Bad you will get this right away. If not then just know that the main family in the TV show has a tradition of doing this for each other on their birthdays and it plays a pivotal role in the show. I've received a lot of things for my birthday's over the years. Some were homemade gifts, some were special dinners out and others were gifts that cost money...but this will forever be one of my absolute favorites! Like I said, Brandon KILLED it! He may be an old, cranky, curmudgeon trapped in a 31 year old body but when he has a heartfelt moment he makes it count. He's so cute! And he knows the way to my heart...even if it's just bacon shaped into numbers on top of eggs!

Thank you B and my wonderful boys! I love you with all my heart! Here's to many more birthdays as a family!
