Cinco de Mayo

Nothing like another day to celebrate this week! It was a smaller production compared to yesterday, but the party spirit was there. My day started with sleeping in and getting a solid 9 hours of sleep! Heaven! Then I had my temple shift, which has to be one of the most special and sacred experiences of my life. After the temple, Bryce came over and we headed downtown for some Mexican food.

We found a place that did not have a 2 hour wait and got good, cheap burritos! The only thing we forgot were our sombrero!

After dinner, we came home and watched some of the Timbers game. Soccer is a good Cinco de Mayo activity! Then we watched Downton Abbey, which is based in England. That is another country so kind of Cinco de Mayo fitting, right??

Happy Birthday My Love

There is something so amazing about birthdays! I love everything about them. So with Bryce's birthday I just couldn't help myself. He gave me a few hints on what he wanted and I took it from there. My favorite part was thinking of presents that would be fun and funny to give him. So let's get unwrapping!

So first, I gave him a penguin pinata filled with his favorite candy, Laffy Taffy! I mean his birthday is one day before Cinco de Mayo, I had to get a pinata! Plus, look at that cute penguin! My heart melted when I saw him.

Next, I got Naked for him! HAHA. I just love that Mighty Mango juice and all the great things you can say about it!

Then I made him keys to my apartment. It is pretty exciting that he will be my roommate next month! Just need to start making some room for his stuff because somehow I have my whole apartment filled!

To continue my funny ways, I gave him 25 quarters to celebrate his quarter of a century birthday! Who doesn't like to have their pockets full of quarters? I was planning on using them to buy ice cream, but he wanted to use them for laundry. Silly, but practical guy!

For his real present, I got him a print of his favorite photography's work. It took me a few weeks to find a good one, but finally Amazon had one! Now just have to wait for it to arrive because online shopping has got to be one of the best teachers of patience!

Finally, I made him a card and wrote a list of the 25 things I love about him. I had to write tiny to get them all to fit, but it was so fun!

After showering him with presents, we went downtown and ate some sushi with our friend Adam. Every time I each sushi, I can't believe how quickly I fill up, which I am sure Bryce loves so he can eat more. We got a good variety and he seemed to enjoy it!

After dinner, we went to this funny little park. When I saw these two trees I saw endless possibilities of cheesy couple poses so we took some!

We then got ice cream! Bryce got buttermilk blackberry and I got cinnamon. It was a great way to top of the meal!

Once we got home, I pretty much crashed! The week had been pretty stressful and I had stayed up until 2AM the night before getting everything ready for the birthday celebration. But it was all worth it. Happy Birthday Bryce!

Birthday Eve

In addition to Bryce finishing his first year of law school (CONGRATS!!), Thursday was Bryce's birthday eve so clearly we had to celebrate! I gave him a list of 24 questions and a card. Then I made him do 24 push-ups.

He is such a stud that I couldn't even get the camera to focus! Also, I was suppose to be counting, but I was too busy with the picture that he ended up doing a few more. Sorry!

He was so sweet and brought me roses! Law school was pretty rough on both of us so we are pretty glad it is summer break now.
