Davids Birthday

Davids birthday was October 11th. (I realize that was forever ago, but I am TRYING to catch up on all the things I have neglected to post about. Gimme a break!) The weekend before his birthday (So the 3rd and 4th) we were at my parents house for General Conference so we celebrated Davids birthday because we were with his family on his actual birthday. It was a blast, and I decided I needed to post the pictures I had taken from that weekend.

Here is the birthday boy himself, holding his incredibly wrapped presents (They are wrapped incredibly if I do say so myself. I mean... look at those bows!)


I don't remember taking this picture, but I love it! So funny. Don't worry, we gave him more than just ONE candle to blow out... we gave him 25!

See! Here are Davids 25 candles, balanced delicately on the edge of his amazing birthday cake. See how happy he is? Yeah. I like it when he is that happy.

This is a closeup of the birthday cake. Don't judge my handwriting skills. Or the massive amount of sprinkles that seem to be attacking the cake. It turned out much better than the green-glob fiasco Jenna and I tried to make for Fathers Day a couple of years back. I promise. I am improving. (If you want to see some REAL disasters, click here! After you look at them, you won't be judging my handwriting so harshly. And I am NOT a professional.)

Don't worry... this post isn't over yet! In fact... we are just about halfway through right now! I have a couple of pictures from the day that David and I celebrated his birthday. We celebrated it on the Friday before his birthday because we were going to be with his family in WJ on the actually party day. I didn't get as many pictures as I should have, I am sad about that now... but nothing I can really do about it! (Actually, I think that there are more on Davids camera... but I don't know where that is right now. It's becoming a problem that we use both of our cameras all the time!)

The morning of Davids birthday I made him breakfast and then sent him to work. It was lucky that I didn't have any classes that day because I had a TON to do! I had decided to send David on a scavenger hunt to like 8 different places. I had a lot I had to get ready though...

Here are some of the pictures from the scavenger hunt:

This was in the institute classroom where David and I met. Thank goodness for Brother Patty and "Scripture Study: Power of the Word" at 8:30 in the morning!

The spectrum was an obvious choice for a clue in the scavenger hunt! I also sent him to the third floor of the TSC (our second date consisted of helping his friend get engaged there), Aggie Ice Cream, the racquetball court in the HPER, Chilis, the Logan Temple etc...

I was only one step ahead of David during the scavenger hunt. I would put the clue in place and then run to the next location to put the clue there. It was totally nervewracking! I thought he was going to catch me. But I didn't want to set the clues out ahead of time for fear someone would move them or take them or something. The above picture is him finding his clue by the spectrum. He is the one in the light blue shirt in the background by the doors. Ignore the person bending over in the foreground. I couldn't help that he was there. I am just happy that I got this picture. At the time I was hiding by the bushes behind the HPER!

This is a picture from my parents house, but I wanted to end with a picture of David and I. I love this boy so much and hope that he had a wonderful birthday. He deserves it and so much more!
