John's birthday was on Friday and I really wanted to make this birthday awesome!
There are many reasons why but the main two were 1) he has been in law school for almost two months and while it is not as bad as he thought it was it is a lot of work and so he spends about 12 hours a day at school. So when he is home he is usually exhausted and just wants to chill. 2) His last birthday I was pregnant and SOOO sick. I was throwing up all the time and had zero energy and so I had nothing planned for his birthday. I am pretty sure I threw up like 10 times that day and a little after dinner I was like we HAVE to do something! So we went out to eat. He got food and I got a milkshake that I think I took 5 sips of and let him have the rest. I felt bad for him having the lamest birthday ever.
So, long story short. This year NEEDED to be different! And luckily this past week was his placement break. SO although he still had lots of work to do he didn't have classes so he had more free time which meant FUN EVERYDAY.
Here's how it went down:
Monday: He was at school most of the day. Olivia and I visited him for lunch. That night I made him curry for dinner (because he loves curry). Then we went to the Provo City Library because they were having this exhibit of the original Looney Toons art, it was pretty neat. Also, I got him a few pictures of him and I and a couple with Olivia to put in his carrel (his desk at school).
Tuesday: He was at school basically all day. I visited him for lunch. He had a dinner for this Law symposium that was going on with delegates from around the world so he didn't get home till about 9pm. So, I made him this heart map.
Wednesday: He got to sleep in! YAY! He went to school to work on a few things. Then we went to the corn maze and picked pumpkins!! So fun!!! Oh and we had hot dogs for dinner because we LOVE LOVE LOVE hot dogs.
Thursday: More school for John. Then we went to the Museum on campus which he has been wanting to do. When we got home I surprised him with a nerf gun fight!
Friday: Birthday DAY! We slept in and then went to the Provo City Library where they do this music and story time for babies. I thought it would be nice since it is probably going to be the only chance John gets to go since he normally has school. Then we went to Tocanos for lunch, it is this really yummy Brazilian meat place. It was good, and I probably ate a whole pineapple! Olivia scarfed on some asparagus and fried bananas. Then we chilled for a little while we digested, we watched Perks of Being a Wallflower, a movie John really likes. And then we went to yogurtland! And surprise! His parents just happened to be there! Actually we planned it. They were coming to Utah to get a car and they worked out coming for his birthday and we decided not to tell him. It was awesome and he was SO SO shocked.
Saturday: We went apple picking in the morning! Then he went and hung out with his family while I go things ready. At 6 we went out and hiked the Y while his sister watched Olivia. The hike was pretty awesome and the sunset was amazing. When we were almost to the top I faked hurting my ankle so we had to go back down. When we got to the house surprise! Everyone was there and we ate tacos and hung out.
Sunday: Just a normal Sunday... but we had Bratwurst for dinner because he has been talking about it for awhile and it's his birthday so yumyum!
All in all I think he enjoyed the week and all the birthday surprises. It was seriously SO hard to keep his parents and the party a secret from him. I almost accidentally told him a few times. Keeping things from the person you tell absolutely everything to is not so easy, but I did it and I think it was a success.
John is 26 now! He is officially in his late 20s and yes he is freaking out that he is "almost" 30. I love him.
