Happy Birthday Ben!

As everybody knows this week is Ben's birthday. His birthday hasn't even really come yet and it already hasn't turned out so well. I have to work on Ben's birthday so I was going to surprise him and trade a friend a shift so I could be home and make him a good dinner and we could eat cake and play games, but then the person I was going to trade lost their job out of the blue so I have no one else to trade. So we decided to celebrate Ben's birthday last Friday, but then he had a lot of classes to study for so we moved it to Saturday. Saturday came along and I made him the cake, but then forgot that I didn't buy any candles so we just ate the cake and between General Conference and Ben studying we didn't have much play time. I was so excited to give him his gift. I bought him Guild Wars extension pack or something like that. At the end of the day (like 9:30) I finally got Ben to open his gift and he was so excited to play it. I knew I had just done right, but it turns out that you can't buy a used computer game because there is only one access code. Whoops. Now (surprise, surprise) we can't contact the seller for a refund or exchange. So Ben's birthday was a flop and it hasn't even come yet, but it wasn't for lack of trying. Maybe we will have to re-celebrate next weekend.


At least Travis was able to enjoy the cake.
