He is in fact, 11 years older than me. The only time we ever have an "issue" is with our musical tastes. I like bands from the 1980's and 1990's and he likes the music from the 1960's and 1970's. We both do like the Rolling Stones, though. That band has been around forever :) My husband is a hard person to buy a present for, so I was kind of racking my brain trying to figure out what to get him. I thought a few months ago about throwing him a big surprise party, but he doesn't like being the center of attention. How about a trip? We already went to Jamaica in April, so that was out. I was really beginning to get stressed out trying to figure out that perfect "gift." Well, a few weeks ago we got an e-mail from my stepson telling us that he would be able to come see us this weekend. We have not seen him for almost a year, due to his job commitments. When he said he could get out to visit us for a few days we were ecstatic!! We were supposed to have been going to a wedding out of town this weekend too, but thank goodness the bride was a gem and understood. Marrying my husband almost 17 years ago was one of the best decisions I ever made.
I knew when I got married to him, that he would be a wonderful father to any children we would have based on the great relationship that I observed between him and my stepson. The hubby is an amazing dad and he is always there whenever any of his "kids" need anything. Given the ages of our children (28, 16 and 8), means there is never a dull moment in our house :) Dominic definitely keeps the hubby "young."
I don't need to worry any more what to get my husband for his birthday. My stepson being able to visit so close to the hubby's birthday is definitely the best "gift" of all. I can't wait for our whole family to celebrate!!!
