Birthday continued....

Okay so my real birthday was January 8th.... but I love my birthday so I try and drag it out as long as possible. (My friends will concur with that) Jeff informed me the other night that he would be perfectly happy if his birthday went on just like every other day... minus maybe a happy birthday wish from a few family members. I guess he won't be hard to please on his birthday! I on the other hand am the opposite... which can sometimes lead to disappointment if I am expecting a lot. Birthdays have always been a big deal in my family and mabye that's why I have high expectations.... sorry Jeff. I think it might stress him out a little bit. But I must say he has done an excellent job so far.
The first year (when we were dating), he had just started his new job (in Idaho Falls) the day of my birthday.... so I was certain he wouldn't be around. I came home from work to roses and a card on my dresser... (which I thought was surprise enough) until he jumped out of my closet! I was so happy! He asked on his first day of work to leave early so he could surprise me on my birthday. He came to dinner with me and my family and drove back to Idaho Falls a couple hours later. What a man!
My second birthday he surprised me with a weekend getaway to SLC. He had originally asked me to get work off because he had something in Logan he needed to be to (can't remember what anymore)... with the intent of surprising me and taking me to SLC for a couple days. Unfortunately I couldn't get work off.... so Jeff had to call my work and beg my boss to let me have it off. (He had already made reservations at the Marriot and wasn't about to cancel) I'm still not sure how he did it. Anyway, he surprised me with a day off work, a night at the Marriot, dinner, and a shopping spree. Pretty impressive huh? I told him he better step it down a notch or he's never going to be able to top it the next year!
This year he baked me a cake and invited a bunch of our friends over for ice cream and cake..... and surprised me with this....

My friends took me out to lunch for my birthday. Thanks guys! You're the best!

I can't believe I'm already 23. It seems like just yesterday that I graduated from high school!

Jeff thinks I may have set the record for the number of times I was sung to this year. I don't know about that...

We followed up with a little Mario Kart on the Wii. I lost every time.



And so did Jeff.....

And of course we ended the night with a little game of spades... yeah we lost at that too. :(

The next night he took me to dinner at Johnny Carino's... we decided to go out on Friday instead of Thursday so we didn't have to be home by 9 for Jeff to go to bed. :) Thanks Jeff for being so good to me! You deserve the "best husband" award!
