THIRTY YEARS OLD

On Sunday my favorite human is turning 30 years old. THIRTY YEARS OLD. I met him when he was 18. That blows my mind.

Once again I was going to share the details of our Texas trip on here today. But then I decided I should write something about Kyle. But I don’t really know what to say…

I often mention K on this blog so there’s not much I haven’t said. (This birthday post is one of my favorites.) Today I’m making him answer some questions in honor of his birthday. Spoiler alert: He dodged most of them.

We’ll start with the hardest question: Peach pie or yellow cake with chocolate frosting?
It depends. Just a generic pie and cake, the yellow cake with chocolate frosting. If it’s your grandma’s peach pie, I’d pick that.

What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned in the last 30 years?
That’s too deep.
Answer it.
What the hell. (He’s technically not being a smartass… A few weeks ago we realized that we live our lives in a very “what the hell” kind of way. I’ll blog about that some other day. Essential when an opportunity presents itself we say “what the hell” and go for it.)

What age has been your favorite?
My favorite pizza is JNG.
That’s not an acceptable answer.
It IS an acceptable answer. That’s not an acceptable question.

If you didn’t play drums what instrument would you play?
Probably nothing.
You’re so boring.
I didn’t ask you to ask me these…

Who would play you in a movie about your life?
Enzo.
That’s not an answer.
I don’t knooooow. I’m not a casting agent… I guess, with my language, Samuel L. Jackson.

Advice for a 20 year old?
Drop out of school and start a business.
That’s not good advice, dear.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I don’t know.
You could at least be nice and say with me.
Well, yeah. Duh.

circa 2010

Annnnnnnd there you have it. *eyeroll*

So happy birthday, Boo. I can’t wait to see what this decade brings. You can accomplish anything ❤︎ I love you.

      It is so, so weird to think back 12 years ago. I know in the grand scheme of things it’s not THAT long ago, but we were SO different at 15 and 18! (We didn’t actually start dating until I was 17-ish.)

  6. hahaha I would totally pick my dog Gus to play me if that was an option. I’m going to give a thumbs up to his answer on that one.

      If I really think about it, Enzo and K have similar personalities so I guess that’d work… but that’s definitely not the answer I was looking for with that question. Ha.
      Thanks! March babies are hard to plan parties for! I wanted some warm spring weather but we got snow. Lol!

  9. Love this! The picture of you two from 2010 is priceless! I’d be okay if Max played me, although he would just sleep and eat, which ummmm … is pretty accurate to my life. LOL! Happy Birthday to your husband and to loving his 30s!

    Happy birthday K! Nick and I have a totally “what the hell” kind of attitude towards life. I think that it is a good attitude to have. I don’t think I could get Nick to answer any questions for my blog so as far as I’m concerned, you did a great job with your interview! 🙂

      The “what the hell” thing has exposed us to great adventures and also screwed us a few times, lol. But that’s life. Haha! Getting him to reply was like pulling teeth. I kept guilting him with the party I was throwing for him and his bday present. Ha!

  21. Happy birthday to your man! One thing… what the hell is yellow cake?!?!?!?!? How did I get to 31 and still have cakes eluding me? I’m gonna disappear down a yellow cake rabbit hole now…

    1. Louise says:

      Thank you! I actually don’t know the flavor of yellow cake……………………. (but it IS different than vanilla!)

      Um… I just had to look it up. Apparently, traditionally, yellow cake is made with whole eggs while white cake is just the eggs whites…? Also, there’s more moisture in yellow cake and white/vanilla cake is spongier. Honestly… there’s GOT to be more of a difference than that because yellow cake with chocolate frosting is heavenly. And white cake just doesn’t cut it. Haha!
