My First Birthday in the U.S.

I woke up early today,and in the right side of the bed, I heard my baby crying so i reached out for her and took her in my arms.. I made my way to the kitchen and found my hubby cooking breakfast for me, and I said " hi hon, as he looked over his shoulders and said " happy birthday hon!". I was standing there watching him cook, a wall covered portion of the dining table but he said look, i set the table for you!" i said "i see that, thank you!".... and im standing still... finally he said " and i put the roses up too!"...My husband isn't good at surprising people so he probably couldn't wait till i sit and find it out myself, haha..i realized he has been waiting for my reaction but i barely noticed the dozen of fresh red roses in a transparent vase filled of water. And so said to him" oh! thats so pretty, thank you hon, youre so sweet, it's my first roses i ever got since i got here ...this is lovely" then i found his card. It was meaningful breakfast , a pancake, sunny side up egg, and my favorite Pam! Of course we won't start the breakfast with our little Amber in her high chair constantly pointing out her choice "hot cake". Today means a lot to me, I may not be spending my birthday with my big family, but i am going to spend it in a most private manner, a quiet, delectable dinner with my husband tonight. I say it's quiet because we hire someone to babysit our baby, and private because were alone for each other. He has told me in his card how much he loves me and can't express enough. Today, i am just so happy that God has given me another chance to live, and that i am spending it with my own small family. And this alone, makes the greatest gift of all.
