birthday boy

Yes, it's my boy's birthday today. I've been trying for the past month to get Sam excited for his bday. I don't think it's really worked but on Friday he started referring to this weekend as his "birthday weekend", so that's an improvement!

In trying to brainstorm what to write in this post, I just kept thinking of little things that I love about Sam. So, since my man is the big 2-4 today, you get to read 24 things I love about him (original, I know...)

1. He makes me laugh every day
2. He is a good cook
3. He studies hard in school
4. He is smart
5. He often sends me a text at a random time in the day that just says "I love you"
6. He kisses me before leaving each morning
7. He brings the ipad into the bathroom where we're getting ready every Friday morning and either plays Rebecca Black's "Friday" or Katie Perry's "Last Friday Night" and dances
8. He willingly does service for others
9. He honors his priesthood
10. He takes me on dates every weekend
11. He watched Kim Kardashian's wedding with me
12. He goes to the doctor with me every time I have to have my blood drawn and holds my hand and talks to me while it's happening to distract me (I've only passed out on him during this once)
13. He looks good :)
14. He lets me cuddle with him (I'm 10x more a cuddler than he is)
15. He takes care of our cars (I hate dealing with car stuff)
16. He gives me good back rubs
17. He lets me vent to him about work stuff when I need to
18. He is athletic
19. He springs out of bed in the morning (I'm groggy when I wake up. Sam can literally open his eyes, jump out of bed and start singing)
20. He teaches me and quizzes me about football (pretty sure this is out of love)
21. He never complains
22. He is kind to everyone
23. He makes me want to be a better person
24. He is my best friend

I love you Sambo, Happy Birthday!!!!

hi.

I haven't updated the blog in awhile, but I suppose there hasn't been much to update on. Sam is super studios in school, I just work everyday and on the weekends we get to actually hang out together. :)

Last Sunday we decided to drive the Alpine Loop and take advantage of the beautiful fall scenery before it turns to winter (as that always seems to happen WAY to fast here). The colorful leaves were beautiful and I loved every minute of ooo-ing and aww-ing as we made our way through the mountain. Sam didn't want to stop and get out of the car (I'm still trying to get him to appreciate pictures) so my phone pics from the moving vehicle will have to do...

For your viewing pleasure:


Had to get some of the Aspen trees for my mom:

happy fall friday.
