Eric turned the big 40 at the beginning of May. He was NOT excited. Leading up to that day, he kept reminding me that I was the "old" one and that I was still married to a guy in his thirties. I kept reminding him that he was in fact 39 and only had weeks, and then days, left in his "thirties".
Some of his friends at work decorated his office for his birthday. I knew that this was going to happen and thought it would be funny. (It definitely was!) I let Sarah in on the secret too. Before he left home that morning to go to work he said something to Sarah and I about how he hoped no one did anything to his office, and that he saw what they had done to his friend Spencer's office when he turned 40 recently.... Sarah and I secretly got a big laugh out of that one as he drove away that morning headed to his decorated office!
Silas and I picked up some lunch and went in at noon to eat with him in his decorated office. Silas loved all of the balloons and wanted to take as many home as we could. His friends at work even gave him a bucket filled with things... The "Back Side of the Hill Survival Kit".
That evening Phoebe's team had softball practice. All the girls sang "Happy Birthday" to him.
Later that evening he opened some gifts from us.
And we ate dessert. He had requested an angel food cake with fresh strawberries, and I also made a strawberry trifle. We all ate some of both!
Happy Happy Happy 40th birthday to my favorite. He is a man of integrity, honest, kind, funny, giving, and loving. In my book he wins husband of the year, daddy of the year, and coach of the year. He wears many hats, and always gives 100% in all he does. Eric, 40 looks good on you!
