Surprise!

So I waited very patiently, well probably not very patiently in Brody's eyes, for my birthday! I was dying to know what Brody had planned for me on my birthday and to see what presents he picked out.

Brody worked on my birthday so he said that we wouldn't do anything special until 7 at night. I didn't have school and decided to take the day off work. It was super nice to just sleep in and spend the day doing whatever I wanted.

I did some cooking for Thanksgiving, shopping (for myself) and got a manicure. I loved every minute of it. It was definitely a present to stay home and just enjoy the day.

Finally, it was time for Brody to come home. I got super cute and was excited to go out. After a bit of fiasco, bc i thought I lost my gold snakeskin heels, we finally left the house. Brody had a surprise though. He made me bring a blindfold and his shooting eye muff things. I was not happy with this bc I didn't want to mess up my hair. (I think people have pictures of me looking ridiculous...i'll have to find one)

At that point I wasn't sure what he had planned but I was thinking a surprise party or a special dinner...He drove around to get me super disoriented and then led me into a restaurant. I was super embarrassed because I knew I looked ridiculous with all my blind fold and ear things. When I was finally able to take them off I was surprised to see so many of my friends waiting for me :) We were at Buca di beppo. We had an awesome dinner and I had a ton of fun. I hope everything else did too.

Brody and I can never both look good in a picture...but I love him!

I was grateful for all the well wishes and presents and to all who came to help celebrate! It was an awesome birthday! I also got some pretty awesome presents from Brody!! (finally)

He's more than half a century!

Wow! It's almost been a month since I've posted. Well I guess I've had an excuse. I have been incredibly busy.

Noteably, I have started school and for the record, grad school is much more busy than undergrad (at least for me) I have been commuting and I think that adds a lot to the days (a bit of stress and time) But I have enjoyed being back in school. It is different, but I love school so it is fun! It is weird being on campus being married...boys never talk to me anymore. I guess I am off limits.
But enough me. Last week we celebrated Brody's 26th! I can't believe time has flown by so fast (on his 24th bday we became officially bf and gf) it feels just like yesterday! For his birthday I threw him a cheese themed birthday party, cause if you know Brody, you know that he loves cheese!


We also went to Boondocks that morning (he got a free pass for his bday) we rode go carts (5 times at his insistence) played minature golf (I killed him), played arcade games and laser tag. It was fun and we played hard. For his party I made everything with cheese. We had cheese cake, grilled cheese a cheese ball and cheese pastries! It was very fun! I loved having my first party at our new house!
