HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL!!!!!

WOW, it's hubby's 44th birthday today! Today was a great day, the weather was perfect, it was Paul's day and a friend stopped in for a drink! We celebrated Paul's birthday today, we gave him his gifts, which he opened this evening after we walked the puppies! He didn't ask for anything in particular this year, but I knew that there was a few things that he needed and some things that he would enjoy. He play's squash at least 2x a week, and he needed some more outfits for the courts. He also is going back to work in September and I thought he would like a new Starbucks insulated coffee travel mug. We buy the VIA Starbucks packets for instant coffee and he really likes those, so with having to commute I thought he might like this little coffee system and find comfort in his favorite coffee on those long, winter mornings into Hamilton. This travel mug actually has spots for 6 packages of the VIA coffee, its pretty cool, and he liked it! I also bought him a new fleece jacket from "The North Face" company. I know how chilly it is leaving the gym in the evening after a long game, so with his new sweater/jacket he will be warm...don't forget about all the trips to the arena this coming winter, this jacket will get lots of use!
Anyways, we picked him up a few more things...he was very happy with his presents. We will do cake on Sunday.
Sadly, Spencer leaves tomorrow...I know that he is ready to go, and I think with school just around the corner it seems a slight bit easier to say "good bye". He feels the same way, everyone is settling into new routine's, Spencer is ready to see his family and friends in Calgary. He really has become a part of our family and we will truly miss him, even though it seems easier to say good bye, I think that I personally will miss him more than usual over the winter because he has definately become more significant in our home. He fits, and he is always welcome here!
We wish him and his family a safe, happy and healthy winter, wonderful christams holidays and we will be looking forward to making our new plans for next summer! Untill then my Calgarian young man, be good, take care of your momma and do good in school, keep in touch and keep your dreams alive! We love you so much, and will miss you tremendously!! XOXOX
