As I've mentioned on my other blog, April is month of birthdays in the Sianturi's. Today in fact is my father in law's birthday. April 2nd is my husband's birthday. April 5th is Bianca's. April 10th is my mother in law's. April 27th is Shinta's-Chris' sister's. And a lot more to come for Chris' cousins. So for me it is like the busiest month of the year beside December. Busy to greet them happy birthday, make phone calls, send birthday wishes, choose gifts and prepare party.
For my husband's birthday this year, at first I did not have any idea of what to give. I don't want to give something ordinary...clothing, including shoes , hats, belts, and other accessories to me are ordinary gifts. This time I wanted something special and...more, not in term of money..but more useful.
Lately, he's been begging to own GPS for our car and I kept postponing to say yes. So 3 days before his birthday, finally I said yes and let him order GPS from e-Bay. He found himself a very good deal on a brand new Navigon 7100, the one he 's been having his eyes laid on, and since it was available in Ontario, it will be easier for us to get it sent. I am so happy that at the end, we received the package exactly on his big day...so it was a perfect gift for him.
Later on that day, we went out for having dinner. It was so touching when he stated that he wanted to take me and Bianca to a restaurant which serve pasta-the food I like, as I know that he does not really like pastas. As for me, he needs not to do it, since it was his birthday, his special day...his preference should come first, why mine? However he insisted to go to that special place, and we did. I felt so touched, so loved...Thank you my lover and my best friend!
And on Sunday April 6th, after church service, we had a small party for Bianca and her dad. We did not tell all of the church members ahead of time that we would have party on that day. We just casually invited people to come down stair after the service for fellowshipping. I cooked the main dishes with the help of our good friend. Below are pictures of that small birthday celebration.
Once again, happy birthday my dear husband and daughter! Thank you Lord for days You have given to us..Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom...
