Happy Birthday Joe!

This past week my husband turned 25! It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating his 24th birthday. He (unfortunately) had to work on his birthday this year, so he opened presents that morning and then I took him to one of our favorite places for a birthday lunch! We ate delicious burgers, laughed (a lot), drank bday milkshakes, and celebrated the life of my favorite person! 

But of course, that's not all I had planned. I couldn't simply get by by taking him to just a birthday lunch, so I waited. I waited until Saturday to give him a surprise birthday day! I had planned for a picnic Saturday afternoon, but it was far too cold for an outdoor picnic. Instead, I made homemade pizza and cheese fries and we dined on a blanket in the middle of our home. It was perfect! We then got ready and I made him wear a blindfold for our car ride to Playtime Pizza where we met up with some friends. We ate even more pizza, played laser tag, black light mini golf, pool and arcade games. We were having so much fun! We headed to Samurai next for dinner and stuffed ourselves with sushi, fried rice, chicken and lots of yum yum sauce! Fun fact about Joe, he is obsessed with anything Japanese! From Tokyo, to japanese food, to anime (and it has to be in Japanese.. he will not watch English dubbed anime), to whatever! He even taught me how to count to 10 in Japanese! When we finished, we said goodbye to our friends and Joe and I headed on a quick thrifting trip. Feeling discouraged because we found absolutely nothing while thrifting, we headed to Target. Because Target cures broken hearts. We were in Target for almost 2 hours & it was starting to get late. We made some purchases and headed home! Sang all the way home and cuddled up in our comfy bed as soon as we got home. A successful birthday celebration? I think so!

(I didn't bring my camera along on the birthday adventure, so these are the only three decent ones I had to document the day).

Thanks to all of our friends who helped celebrate the life of Joe!
