Rub Down From Different Lands

Ask yourself this question, Would you like to be rubbed all over from people of different lands? That's what I asked Kyle for birthday. This was my gift to him, different massages from all of the places we travel to in the next 6 months before he deploys. A tossed around the idea for a Kindle and finally decided that if he wanted a Kindle he could easily buy one for himself, however it is pretty difficult to get Kyle to relax on is own and take a minute to himself. The first massage was this past weekend as we took a trip to Portugal. The massage was a couples massage although a little awkward it turned out great. I am pretty sure Kyle liked it since he did get rubbed down by an attractive Portuguese woman, could he really complain that much? I look forward to the other massages and giving Kyle some Kyle time. You can see some of the photos on my post of the Portugal trip below this one.

On his actually birthday, I cooked him a T-bone steak dinner with an apple pie for dessert. I also wrote him a funny little thing, 27 reason of why this year is going to rock! It was just for fun to bring a smile. Here it is below. You will see a couple of them are stared out **** Some of them are only for Kyle's eyes, after all it was part of his present!
