Ray and I are the same age again. Ray's 30th birthday was on August 1st (and I'm just barely getting around to posting about it but at least I'm still in the same month!) Having Ray's birthday on August 1st takes some real planning because if I wait to look at birthday when I turn the calendar on the 1st of the month, I've already blown it! Anyway, I planned ahead this year and I know that Ray likes ice cream so I planned to get him an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins. Does anyone have any idea how many kinds of ice cream cakes you can choose from? I finally had to break down and ask him and he wanted one that wasn't on their website...a fudge nut round cake with Pralines n' cream ice cream. For his birthday, I splurged a little bit and got him tickets to go see Cold Play in November. I asked him (after I'd already bought the tickets) if he could go see anyone in concert, what concert would he want to go to. He said he couldn't think of anyone he'd want to see in concert so I was a little deflated but figured we could sell them on e-bay if he didn't want to go but when he got the tickets, he was excited since it's one of his favorite bands. We had a great day...Ray took the day before his birthday and the day of his birthday off work. We took the kids to daycare and spent the day before his birthday just the two of us going to a movie (Dark Knight) and a nice lunch and we spend his birthday with the boys and went swimming and had a nice family day. Here's 5 things I love about my sweetie:
1. He always kisses me goodnight
2. He is very supportive of me and all that I try to accomplish
3. He is a super dad and the boys scream in delight when he walks in the door
4. He helps around the house and does ANYTHING I ask him to do (even toilets and cleaning the cat litter).
5. He does everything in his power to reassure me on a daily basis that me and the boys are the most important people in his life.
Thank you for being such a great husband and an amazing dad...we love you and are so glad you were born...you are such an important part of our family! I love you babe!

Happy Bday Ray! My family LOVES that same BR cake! It's a MUST!
Awww, cute post! The number one thing I crave is a Baskin Robbins cake, nothing is better! Sounds like he had a great birthday and you did a good job of spoiling him.
Ray, I thought about you on your big day, but I didn't actually get around to calling. I hope it was grand, it sure looks like a nice day. Here are the reasons that I love Ray:
He has consistently and constantly been a very good friend to me for about 20 years, even when I haven't necessarily been the best friend to him.
He is someone you can count on.
He is someone that always tries to do the right thing (I'm not including numerous TP raids, being mean to old girlfriends, or all the times that he has tried to do the wrong thing because it was a lot of fun -- good clean innocent fun)
He is someone that I know I will be friends with through the eternities
He has taught me the value of being good and putting family first
He has taught me the value of hard work (I've never known someone to do so much free labor for such a long period of time for someone that didn't fully appreciate it -- read: all those paperroute days and all those days landscaping our backyard)
He has a wonderful family and a wonderful way of loving them
He is nice, kind, patient, and still able to have an appropriate level of righteous indignation at all the appropriate times
You're the best Ray, I really wish you the best in all that you do!
