Happy Birthday TJ!

Today is my husband's b-day! He is 29. I can say that because I'll be 29 in about 3 months. TJ and I started dating 12 years ago. I took him out for his b-day. We originally met online and had met 2 times in person before that, but hadn't really hung out or talked much. I called him earlier in the week and told him I was going to take him out for his b-day. He said he couldn't go out on the day of his b-day cuz his mom was doing something for him. I told him I'd take him out the day after. I went and picked him up. I didn't really know what he liked, but I bought him a shirt. I think it had a basketball on it. Shows you how much I really DIDN'T know about him! We went to a movie. I don't remember what the movie was called, but it was really dumb. I really wanted to hold his hand, but couldn't get the nerve up to do it. Instead, I layed my head on his shoulder. It was funny.

After the movie we went to Albertson's in Spanish Fork to get drinks, then we went to the Spanish Fork Main Street Park. We swung on the swings and talked. Just before we were going to leave I gave him a hug, then I kissed him. I had NO idea he'd never kissed anyone before. Anyway! I took him home and I went in to meet his brother, Ashly. There's a pretty funny story about meeting Ashly, but I'll save that for another time.

TJ's a great guy. He and I have both changed a lot since we met 12 years ago. We've learned to deal with those changes. So much of life has changed in that time. I'm glad he was born and that we got married. He's my best friend. I really enjoy spending time with him. He's one of the smartest people I know. He's inspired me to be a better person and to learn all that I can. He challenges me a lot (in a good way :) ). He makes me think about things. He also knows how to get on my nerves. There are times when he frustrates me really bad and there are times when I am filled with so much love for him I feel like I'm going to burst. I don't mind the hard times though, cuz I get the good times too. I wouldn't change any of it for the world. I think we made a really good pair!

Happy birthday to the love of my life!

Getting Flowers

Getting gifts is always fun. Especially when you've had an unusually stressful day. Having a new baby after 5 years has been quite an experience. Isaac is a good baby, but after getting shots last Tuesday he was pretty much cranky for the rest of the week. Thursday I was stressed with him crying and the messy house and just everything. TJ told me he was coming home early. I was glad because Isaac was screaming and he just wanted to be held and I couldn't make dinner very well carrying him around. Almost an hour after TJ told me he was coming home he wasn't home! I was irritated and worried all at the same time. I thought he could hold Isaac while I made dinner or make dinner, atleast something to help!

I had dinner done (I can't ever remember what I made at this point) and was setting the table. In walks TJ carrying a bouquet of red roses! I wasn't irritated any more and said "Oh flowers! No wonder it took you so long to get home! Thank you!". He also stopped at the bank and got his car wash. It was nice of him to get me flowers. They were wrapped really nicely so I had to take pics of them before I unwrapped them and put them in a vase.
