My FI's birthday is this Sunday. I was asking him today what he would like to do, and he seemed so unenthusiastic about it. He said, "this is what happens in your 30's, you'll find out in a few years." Totally made me sad! He's turning 34, and I'm 24. I know 34 isn't a milestone birthday or anything, but we usually go all out celebrating each other's birthdays, so I kinda wonder what's up. He's also in the Army Reserves, and this weekend is his drill weekend, so I know when he gets back Sunday night he will be beat. Maybe that's what's getting him down?
I thought about just making a nice dinner and ordering a cake from this European bakery we go to frequently, but I honestly feel like it isn't enough. What other small special things can I do, or is what I have planned probably fine?
Or is it too much considering he said, "let's just order a pizza. You can stick candles in it if you want?"
