Mother's Day postponed. It's Birthday time for Mr. Deter!

So my man is now 30 years old!  I was seriously frustrated because I did not know what to do for his birthday.  It's 3 decades, I knew I had to do something big, but WHAT?  Matt is not a hard guy to shop for.  His loves are very obvious to EVERYONE.  Sports and food are about all you need to say to describe my hubby.  However, I really wanted to do something unique, something special. Thank goodness for this site, I don't know what I would have done without it.  I wish I had fallen upon it a lot earlier, it would have helped me with a lot of gifts in the past.  Well, I found THE PERFECT GIFT for my crazy drivin hubby, and it was in Las Vegas.  I signed him up to do the Richard Petty driving experience.  We actually got to go inside the Las Vegas speedway, be in Richard Petty's pit and Matt got to actually drive a real stock car that Richard Petty drives (not the exact one, just a type of stock car that he drives).  It was such a surreal experience.  I can't 100% describe the feeling.  I didn't even participate, but I was like a little kid on Halloween.  I was so excited for Matt.  Matt was so nervous, it was awesome.  Matt NEVER gets nervous, so when he did, I knew I did a good job on this gift.  He took a class, they got him all geared up, just like they do to all the race car drivers, and he drove a stock car by himself going 135 miles an hour.  He did so good!!!  He always surpasses my expectations.  It was eight laps, so it went by fast, but he loved it.  Britney and Matt Mendel babysat Madeline overnight for us, so we got to leave Friday afternoon and we did not get back till Saturday night.  It was my first night without my little munchkin.  It was a little hard at first, but I have to say it was a trip well needed.  It took me back to what it was like when Matt and I were dating.  We did not have a curfew to put the munchkin down by or anything.  It was funny though, we were both dead tired by like 10:30pm, especially me.  We are not used to the night life anymore.  I have not had that much fun in such a long time. THANK YOU so much Britney and Matt.  I don't know what we would do without you guys.  We are so blessed with such amazing friends!!!

Now, enjoy the pics:

Birthday Boy; SO HOT!

Ahhhh, some alone time.  So cheezy.

So, below is when he pretty much just found out about his gift.

Still not that nervous.

Oh yeah, getting really nervous now.  Look at the intensity!

About to take off, luckily the car was dry afterwards, he was able to refrain from wetting himself.  HE DID SO GOOD!
