Today was a great day. It is my wife’s 30th birthday and we ended up watching the Iowa Hawkeyes get a great win in double overtime again Michigan State. Overall that made it a pretty perfect day.

As of today my wife is 38 weeks pregnant so that next two weeks is just going to be a waiting game until our daughter is born. No worries, I will make sure to keep everyone updated so make sure you are following on Twitter.

Time to go take my wife out to a birthday dinner. Here are some of my favorite articles from around the personal finance blogosphere this week.

  1. tic toc tic toc. Wish your wife a happy birthday on behalf of a personal finance blogger 🙂 I’m not sure how much that matters, haha! what did you guys have for dinner? Hope it’s not sushi! BTW, I’m quite surprised my article is #1 on your list (maybe the order doesn’t matter.)

  2. Thanks for the mention Sean. I remember waiting for our first one, those are fun times! Have a great weekend.

  3. I’m glad you went out. It might be a while before you get to do that together again. Thanks for the mention. Will be watching for an announcement soon.

  4. Thanks for the mention Sean. Good idea taking the wife out. Probably not going to be able to do that for a little while. Hope it all goes good for you two, well three.

  5. That was a disgusting win. I’m sad that it took beating the best school on earth to make your wife’s birthday. Why couldn’t you just take her to dinner? Well, at least there’s still the Detroit Tigers….
