Birthday Surprises

It's 4 o'clock and I'm driving home from work on the day of my birth. I walk towards the door of the stairwell that leads down to our apartment and through a small window I hear my husband telling me to stay out. "Only 5 minutes, enjoy the outside and talk to your mom. 5 minutes!"
Alrighty then. Confused, but with that slight scent of cake I sneaked, I obeyed.
5 minutes very slowly passed, until he peaked his head around the door and said, "Now just wait 5 seconds, and then come down."
I opened the door after about 7 seconds. Balloons decorated the walls of that dark, scary stairwell. On the door handle of our apartment was yet another balloon and a bag of, my now favorite, popcorn. I opened the door and saw my birthday cake, with 21 candles and an "I love you wife" written on it. Also, about 10 small newspaper wrapped presents sitting next to my cake. He sang, the best rendition I have ever heard of, Happy Birthday to me.
I hugged and kissed him, I could not stop smiling. I looked into his eyes as he held me in his arms, and I fell in love with him all over again. A deeper love than I can understand.
My birthday was funfilled with goodies, Bajio's, movie, and Jeremy. I'm excited for the start of birthdays with my husband.
