Birthdays

Of the five birthdays Ro has had since we have been together, this is the very first one where we aren't together. Way back when Ro was 20 and in the Montana, he couldn't drink legally, but then again, neither could I. But for his 21st he was excited to go out to celebrate and was finally able to get into the bars in Bozeman. So, being such a wonderful girlfriend, I stayed home by myself and watched Moulin Rouge while he was out enjoying himself. I didn't mind because earlier that day when I was giving him a birthday present, he gave me a present. A pretty little diamond ring. Yes, on his birthday he gave me a ring : ) Anyways, I stayed up late all alone that night while Ro was out partying with his friends. He called me when the cars closed so I could go pick him up. Of course I had to pick up the rest of the carless Chileans that were all living together in Bozeman. The next year, we were together in Chile to celebrate his 22nd. I'm pretty sure if I remember correctly, his birthday landed on Good Friday which happens to be the only Friday during Lent that Ro's family doesn't eat meat. Not only that, his mom made fish. Ro hates fish. nice right? We also celebrated his 23rd (something memorable happened : )!!!!!) and 24th together in Chile. I think I'm doing pretty good if we are 4 for 5 on his birthdays. : P Happy Birthday to my lovely, loving husband!!

It just so happens that Rodrigo's 23rd birthday landed on a Saturday. So of course, we were celebrating and partying and having a lot of fun. At that same time, my sister was most likely in a lot of pain. I called her to wish her luck... she was kind of bitchy. We had a 3 hour time difference so there was still a chance that there would be a double birthday. : ) But of course Little Miss Rae decided that she wanted her own birthday and didn't want to share. So, while we were still partying I received an email with picture of my brand new baby niece!! Of course I haven't been with Evalie on any of her birthdays, but tomorrow will be the first! In fact she is here today playing with me... sitting right next to me on her "puter" that doesn't even work. But she likes copying me : )

Here's a picture of us from 2 weeks ago. It's hard to believe alllll that snow is melted now!!! : D

Now off to make a pretty cake for a pretty little 2 year old!!!
