This past Sunday was my amazing husband's 24th birthday! On Friday we celebrated together as a family. We started the night with an amazing dinner at Escalante's Mexican Restaurant. YUM-O! We then went over to the mall and got Nick some new clothes...he was in desperate need of some new jeans! Shopping is always a daunting task, especially for clothes. It's hard to shop when you are trying to stick with a budget and find something that fits great and looks good too. We walked right into Macy's and Nick found a pair of jeans, some shorts, and 3 shirts that he loved. I'm talking we were probably in there about 45 minutes and we were done. It was awesome. Shopping for us usually takes hours...well, maybe I should say shopping for me. I guess guys are easier to please in that area. (*For all you penny pincher's out there, Macy's is having a sale on Levi's jeans. I had already bought Nick 2 other pairs of jeans before we went that night and one of them cost me $8.99!! We actually bought another pair of those for him to use for work. A $50.00 pair of jeans for $8.99 - AWESOME!!.) After shopping we went over to this new ice cream shop called Swirl. Nick LOVES this place (and I do too). When you walk in you get an empty cup and you go fill up your cup with as much frozen yogurt as you want. There are all kinds of flavors to choose from. Then you go over to the topping bar and put whatever toppings you want. You pay by the ounce and man is it delicious. Nick likes to get the mango yogurt with fresh mango pieces on top. I got the cake batter yogurt with crushed up butterfinger. YUMMY! We had a blast and Eden was such a great girl that night. On Sunday, his actual birthday, we had my family over to celebrate and we had a wonderful time.
I am so grateful for such an amazing man to be my husband and life partner! As I was thinking about him on his birthday, I realized this year how much I appreciate him and also how much I have learned from him. One thing I knew about Nick since I met him, but I guess never really truly appreciated about him is how wise he is. He really blows me away with things he says and knows, and how he handles situations. It makes me confident in our future as parent's and as Christians that I have such a wonderfully smart, intelligent, and wise person to go through things together with. He is my BEST friend and my love for him grows stronger every day!
He is an amazing father to our beautiful baby and I LOVE seeing the two together. It's the sweetest thing!
I hope you had a wonderful birthday, Nick!
I love you.

-Dada,
Thank you for being such a great daddy! Thank you for working so hard to provide all these fun toys for me to play with, a comfy bed to sleep in, and yummy food to eat (and throw on the floor). I love it when you play with me and give me kisses! My favorite part of each day is when I hear you come in the door and I realize how much I missed you all day. You are the best daddy in the world and I love you, Dada!
Love,
Your little princess!
