Justin & Jodi, + Kambri

Justin's birthday was on the first of August. We've been married over year now and it has been great! We've always been able to communicate so well and he does so much for me....including the cooking :). He also can always make me smile. It seems like I could spend forever with him and it would go by too quickly... good thing we have that long.

So, I decided to get him something worthwhile. I ended up choosing a backpacker GPS. Justin loves to hike and hunt and he does not like to use trails which are intended to bring you back alive. He's positive that his internal compus will help him to survive it. However I've got a lot of years ahead to rely on his manly intuitions so I've decided to help them along. I did my research and got him one of these:

He's excited to try it out... and I'm excited that he will always be able to trace his way back home.

We went to McGraths Fish house for dinner. The food was delicious, definetly the best coconut shrimp i've ever had. Plus he let it slip that it was his birthday and they brought out a giant fish hat for him to wear while they sang happy birthday....bonus for me! haha, I'd post the picture but i'm afraid that wouldn't go over very well :(.

Afterwards we had a fun party for him at our apartment and his family and my family came over for cake (which I actually made!). He also had this awesome pinata for the kids to play with:

I thought this was a great idea: You pull on the strings and one of them (everyone gets a chance) opens the bottom of the pinata! no more baseball bats or ruined pieces of art. It was funny to watch the little boys dive after the candy. It was a lot of fun, and I'm glad he had a good birthday.

Then the next morning something magnificent happend.........

I was in my pj's all day saturday. Done in 15 hours. All I can say is it was my favorite yet. Read it.
