Birthday Boy

It's the start of birthday season around here. Will's birthday is October 8th, and my mom's is exactly a week later on the 15th. Then we have one birthday a month through January. Will had been talking for weeks about wanting an ipad for his birthday, and since the iphone 5 was coming out soon I decided to give it to him early. I'm not a huge fan of crowds and I know that Apple stores are CROWDED when a new iphone comes out! When we went to get his ipad, we ran into DeMarcus Ware, a linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys. You bet I creeped and took a picture! Ha.

 On Saturday, October 6th, I invited some of Will's friends to a party at Joe T. Garcia's and then back to the apartment for cake. We had 16 people and it was pretty chilly that night because a cold front had come through making it 55 degrees. That would have been perfectly fine if it wasn't an outdoor restaurant! Luckily they have heaters so it turned out great! Sorry this picture is bright and blurry, its the only one I have of us!

 

 We took a panoramic picture while waiting in line and my brother, Kyle, moved during the picture. Look what it did to his head! HA hilarious :) Now I just need to update my iphone so I can take these awesome pictures!

I was lazy this year, and luckily my husband LOVES cookie cakes, so that's what we had!

 I couldn't find my birthday candles so we lit a tea light. Whatever works, right?
 

Monday was Will's actual birthday, so after he went to bed on Sunday night I tried to make it look a bit festive for when he woke up! Monday is probably the worst day to have a birthday, so I hope it made his day a bit brighter.

 

 We have a tradition, passed down from my Aunt and Uncle, to wake up the birthday boy/girl on their birthday by singing happy birthday while bringing them a muffin with a candle for them to blow out. So I secretly bought some chocolate chip muffins and woke him up this way. I can't wait to continue this tradition with our little family! Monday night after work we went to Trail Dust Steak House for his birthday dinner. He got his favorite, chicken fried steak. Can I just say that I didn't know what chicken fried steak was until I met my husband! Then again, I didn't know what an avocado was until I was 20!

I just love my husband and I am so thankful for him! He is so patient with me and loving. He is a gift and I am excited to see what the Lord does in him, and in our relationship this year!
