Just as with Gavin's birthday, Greg's birthday was very low-key because I was expecting to be busy having a baby. And normally that wouldn't be a big deal, especially to Greg, but this year Greg turned 40. It still wasn't a big deal to Greg, but I felt so bad that I couldn't make a bigger deal out of it.
When I asked him what he wanted, he said he didn't know. A few days later he came home from work and said not to worry about getting him a present because he got new tires on his car at lunch. Really? New tires for your birthday present? When I tried to argue with him, he said I was getting him a baby for his birthday and nothing could top that - no argument from me.
I still wanted to get him something. He has mentioned a hydration pack for a few months, so I picked one up at Recreation Outlet. He seemed happy with it.
I'm so happy the guys at work gave him a hard time about turning 40 (somebody needed to). They took him to lunch and gave him a hilarious card with balloons and prune juice. He really does work with a great group of guys.
I don't know how to put into words what Greg means to me. He is really the most incredible husband. He is good - really good - you know, deep down good. He is a simple person, who I have yet to figure out. He knows what he believes in, he knows what is right and he lives that way - with no hesitation and no excuses.
Happy Birthday, Greg! I love you!

Greg deserves a fun birthday and I am actually very glad that his friends at work gave it to him! He does so much for his family, that it's nice to see him receive the attention he deserves from someone else! Happy Birthday, Greg! You're growing older gracefully!
