♫ happy birthday to me ...
i just love birthdays. and i especially love that i have friends who have traveled all the way to mexico with me to celebrate my special day.
travis and i were both really tired the night before after going out for dinner and drinks with nick and kate, but he was so sweet and stayed awake with me until midnight so he could wish me happy birthday. he had been making "old" jokes throughout the week, but in that moment, he was so sweet. i love that i could spend the first few minutes with my husband in such a special moment.
saturday morning, it turned out that kate and travis were both sick. after all the "old" jokes, nick and i couldn't help but rub it in that the thirty-somethings were still going strong.
travis and i grabbed breakfast with nick. he found a few things to take back to the room for kate, but she didn't feel like eating. we tried to make reservations for dinner that night for my birthday, but everything was booked. we booked restaurants for the next two nights and then headed back to the rooms.
i hung out in our room with travis and watched movies on the wb. {the commercials kept saying "somos. warner" in a deep voice that got stuck in our head. -- we still keep quoting it}. travis felt well enough to get up around lunch time. i kept asking him to take it easy because he had spent more time out of bed the past few days than he had in weeks. we called nick and the three of us grabbed lunch at the buffet. we went exploring for the snack bar by the pool. it turns out there was a pool closer to our room than we realized and there was a snack bar right by it. nick grabbed a few things from the snack bar and headed back to the room. travis's stomach was really achy again, so we went back to the room, too.
kate never was able to get out of bed until much later. we all met up at the lobby bar that evening and hung out for a while. it started to rain while we were there and the thatched roof began to leak a little. kate headed back to the room for a few minutes ... and then never returned.
it turns out she slipped and fell in the rain and was too embarrassed to make the trek back to the cabana. i could tell travis still didn't feel well, but was trying to rally because it was my birthday. we called it an early night and headed back to the room. travis was asleep within minutes. i was starting to not feel well -- i was beginning to think i was allergic to the room. that sounds silly, but i think there may have been mold or something in the room because while i was in there, my throat would burn, my nose would get stuffy, and my head would really start to hurt. after watching tv for a bit, i was able to settle in and get some rest next to my sleeping husband.
