Happy 25th!

It's Evan's birthday.  Well, it's been his birthday all week.  I personally think birthdays are a HUGE deal so this being the first year we are married and it's his first married birthday celebration I decided to make it extra special and start new traditions.  We took a surprise trip that I kept a secret for almost 2 months, with the help of my parents ordering everything in private.  That was a just because trip that just happened to be before his birthday. Then there is the birthday week.  I left little presents for him throughout the week so he could have little treats or buy himself lunch for the whole week.  It was a nice build up to today!  Saturday we had all our friends over for a birthday party, thanks everyone for coming we love you all!  And last night he got his presents, because let's be honest Evan is pretty convincing when it comes to getting his way.  And he really really wanted his birthday presents :)  Anywho, Evan is the most generous, caring person.  He never has a bad word to say about anyone and always stands up for his loved ones not matter the circumstances.  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband that makes me laugh everyday.  Whether it be gross or funny, we are always laughing and goofing off and I couldn't ask for anything more.  This year has been wonderful and I have seen a whole new side of Evan that I didn't know before we were married and everyday is better and better.  I can't wait for all the years ahead and all the birthdays we get to celebrate together!  Happy birthday bubs love you to pieces!.

Hiking, one of his favorite things to do.
