Champagne Birthday

Please excuse the fact that this entry will literally sound like a little girl's diary entry...

Yesterday was my birthday!! Yaaay!

Aaron and I left for camping at Awenda on Monday and got home around 745 last night, so I got to spend half of my birthday camping/beaching and the other at home avec (most of) ma famille!

Camping was splendid of course-- beautiful weather and a great site. Buuuuut! Aaron cut his hand with an ax(e) [whichever you prefer] and we had to go to the local hospital so he could get three stitches!! Wooooo! Very exciting and scary- I almost threw up when he first showed me the wound. However- now he'll have a super badass scar.

At midnight on my birthday Aaron brought out a lovely little bottle of champagne and we toasted to my birthday at the campsite. It was adorable and delicious, actually. He made a very romantic little speech... it was perfect.

The morning brought a smiley wake-up and Aaron's first gift!! A beautiful silver bracelet! It's beautiful and just what I would have chosen. The last beach day was overcast, but warm and beautiful-- and Aaron actually got a pretty bad burn that day. He's in pain. And red as a tomaaaaaato!!! Oh! And we went into town to buy me a new copy of Lord of the Rings [well, we went in for the hospital first], so I also got to read that on our last beach day, which was vair fun. I feel slightly ridiculous, but also slightly badass reading it hahah.

Aaron's gifts to me:
1. Lovely bracelet
2. Pouch of deeelicious tea from DavidsTea
3. First Eminem CD ahaha
4. Adorable yellow (solar powered) reading lamp
5. Metric poster-- yet to arrive

And then this morning!!!
1. Fucking delicious breakfast
2. DavidsTea mug complete with a tea infuser
3. Aluminum free body shop deoderant
4. Also deeelicious tin of flavoured earl grey from DavidsTea

My mummy also got me some lovely jewelery, fancy hangers, a cupcake set, Rome and Paris travel books and expeeeeeeensive champagne! $40 for a little bottle! Oh mummy, you doll you! We felt very classy.

Oooh and I got two cakes! A delish stanley cake from my Mum and sister and a yummy yummy Marble Slab cake from Aar.

All in all, wonderful, wonderful birthday and today has been an excellent, excellent post birthday!!!

And to top it all off... my subscription to National Geographic came in!
