Belated Birthday Wishes!

This is so, so late but... Happy Belated Birthday to Nate! It was last Wednesday... so this is really belated, no excuse outside of laziness here! :)

Things were pretty, 'relaxed' for Nate's birthday this year... I worked on the day of, and the day after, so he went out with some guys on Wednesday and then the Friday we went for dinner together and planned to use the rest of the weekend as a weekend for him to do whatever he chose! However, a nasty little norovirus decided that I was going to spend the weekend on the couch, in my pajamas on a strict diet of gingerale and Jell-O. And Nate, being the loving husband that he is spent his weekend watching movies with me, rubbing my back, buying me foods my tummy could handle and overall trying to make me feel better. He said he had a great weekend regardless, but our next weekend off together I'll try and think up a fun surprise for him!


Who doesn't love DQ Cake?!
Nate's gift from me this year ended up being on back order, so we are still awaiting it's arrival, I'll post on it when it comes! But part of his gift from his parents is soo cute I had to share it! 




He happened to be wearing the most appropriate pajama shirt EVER when he opened it... which made it extra awesome (hard to tell in the pictures but it's a minion tshirt!)

Nate loves minions like I love penguins, so when his Mom saw some kids in her Awana Cubbies group wearing them, she asked their Mom if she could make one for her (grown up but still a kid at heart) son! 

Love it!

Surprise Birthday Gift!

For those that don't know, my husband has been sporting a beard since our wedding. Nate's goal was to go full blown Duck Dynasty style (I know, I can feel you cringing from here). Now while we may love that show, and get a good chuckle at their appearance, I can't say I'd be pleased to have my handsome hubby turn into a hairy nightmare.

Well, the day before my birthday I came home from Bible study to an awfully big and unexpected surprise, I'll let the pictures tell the story!


The beard was actually growing on me, I had told him if he kept it neat I'd probably actually love it! But his mane needed some serious taming.




The picture above makes me chuckle!





Hair and beared trimmed! There's my handsome man!

Next time I jokingly say 'I bet you can't grow a beard like that!', I'll learn to bite my tongue!
