reverb 11 - day 24 [only one more sleep 'til christmas]

This month, gifts and gift-giving can seem inescapable. What’s the most memorable gift, tangible or emotional, you received this year?

I love cake. I am of the belief that if you don't have cake it can't be your birthday. My amazing boyfriend knows this about me and hasn't let me down yet. Last year he surprised me by having his roommates get me a cake the day we got back into town from visiting my family [an amazing gift all on its own] and bringing it out when we got home from the airport. I didn't think he could top that. 

This year he was over at his friends house playing video games the night before my birthday. I had been at work until after 10, so when I got home he called and asked if I wanted him to come home and hang out with me, which I did not require of him... I simply sat in the recliner and read all night until he got home. It was a very relaxing way to ease into my 28th year of life.

*important side note* we rarely have food or anything to drink besides water in our refrigerator, and since it was late, and I had a beverage with me from work, I did not open the fridge at all after coming home.

When boyfriend finally got back to the apartment he came in and yelled HAPPY BIRTHDAY at me from the door, and then came in the living room holding a beautiful chocolate cake with chocolate ganache frosting. I had no idea how he managed to wander in with a cake at such an hour, and he then explained to me that he had purchased it earlier and had it in the fridge, did I not open the fridge? hahaha... it was a great surprise! Cake is great. Great boyfriend is great. :D
