So, my birthday was Wednesday. Hubby got me my favorite cake- chocolate with white icing. It had “Happy Birthday Katie” written on it. He said that when he called to order it and said he wanted “happy birthday Katie” on it, they asked him how old I was going to be. He said he liked being married to me, so he didn’t want any mention of my age on the cake. They asked, do you want balloons, flowers, or anything? Hubby says, nope, just Happy Birthday Katie.

```
 The bakery called him Wed morning. "Mr. 1341, we're getting ready to decorate your cake. The inscription notes say "nothing special". Are you sure that's what you want on your cake?".  

 I am so getting him a birthday cake that says "nothing special" on it for his birthday.

Oooh, or maybe an anniversary cake with _for now_ inscripted on it. 😃

Happy Belated!
