Happy Quarter-Century Birthday to ME!

Happy Quarter-Century Birthday to ME!

September 21st, 2009 @ 2:01 pm by Mrs. Gloss

Sorry for the crappy camera phone pic, but check out what Mr. Gloss bought me for my big day….

… a big shiny new sailboat!

Kidding!

Our birthdays (6 days and 2 years apart) fell so close to our wedding date that we elected to keep down the birthday spending this year in order to more seriously save for our first home. Plus, we just had a fabulous party with everyone we love and got loads of fabulous gifts about a month ago.

So, we headed down to Newport, RI this weekend for the International Boat Show, hit up my absolute favorite sandwich place, climbed around on a few million dollar yachts and lived vicariously through those who were actually buying them. The weather was gorgeous all day and then we met up with some friends for a low-key dinner.

Mr. Gloss also vowed to be my personal chef for the entire weekend and he makes a mean breakfast sandwich.

Have any of your typical holidays or spending habits changed to account for wedding spending?

Happy birthday, Mrs. Gloss! Mr. Bruschetta taped 25 quarters into my birthday card when I turned 25 last year. What kinda sandwich did you get at your favorite sandwich place?

@Mrs. Bruschetta: It’s this tiny place in Bristol called Papa Joe’s Wrap Shack - they have a sandwich called ‘The Bristolian’ which is fried calamari, garlic mayo, mozzerella cheese and greens and it is SO delish

Happy birthday! I just turned 25 last Wednesday. My fiance’s b-day is in November and we are definitely saving for the wedding so we decided to buy one present together for both of us: a kitty!

Ooooo Happy Birthday! Loverboy and I are 51 weeks apart. His birthday, 3-8-88 and my birthday 3-15-87. It’s fun and we’ve toyed around with waiting for a wedding date in between our birthdays!

Happy B Day Mrs. G! We did combo wedding/birthday presents, since our wedding fell close to our b-days as well.

So happy to hear you went to RI (my home state) for your birthday! And what a souvineer that boat would have been. We’re doing the wedding rings as Christmas presents to save some $ and trying to limit unecessary spending but it’S really hard when we are attending weddings, birthday parties and baptisims that require travel and gifts.

Happy Birthday! My birthday was five days after our wedding, and we were too busy recovering to do anything! It will be fun next year, when it is our first anniversary and my 30th bday in the same week!
