Mike’s Birthday
I never thought that preparing for a covert birthday for my husband would be that hard. Hi, I am Ashley and I am a frantic wife.
I had to get everyone to agree not to greet him on his birthday. The only ones allowed was his mom. She couldn’t imagine not greeting her baby on his birthday.
Then there was the venue. There was this bar that his friend owns that I had wanted to rent. But as his birthday gift to Mike, he gave me the night free with an open bar. He had also conveniently told Mike that he had to close that night because his bar was being repainted.
I told Mike that we were having dinner with some of his family and friends later. He sighed and told me that he thought people had forgotten. I had mentioned his favorite restaurant and he looked relieved.
We passed by the bar and our cab conveniently broke down. That was his friend’s cue to come out of the bar. He had said that we could call another cab while waiting inside. The contractors turned out to be a day late, he said.
Once we were inside there was an eruption of greetings and cheers. Mike was very happy to see his friends and family members all gathered in his favorite watering hole. They gave him his gift and urged them to open it. They had asked him what was the best one and he said while holding me by the waist, “This one right here.”
