My 25th Birthday

I can't believe it, but I am a quarter of a century now!

Since we just went out for Ian's birthday, we decided to keep it mellow for my day. Ian got me some little knick knack stuff that I had wanted and took me to this restaurant that we had been wanting to try for awhile. I forget the name, but it it was some type of Japanese BBQ place and you cook everything yourself! We had so many types of meat to try. I even tried cow tongue, which wasn't as bad as I thought, but I still wouldn't eat it again, knowing what it was. The food was awesome and we had a great time together. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday.

Ian's 32nd Birthday

For Ian's 32nd birthday, I got him a new BBQ. He had been wanting one for awhile and kept saying he wanted a charcoal one and he wanted a smoker. I found one that was actually both and it was actually in our price range! So, he got all the accessories as well, including wood chips for smoking. He was pretty excited, except for the fact that he has to put it together!

Then we went to dinner at Lucielle's BBQ with Ian's family. Ian loves that place. It seriously is the best BBQ in this area and the plates are huge! We had a nice evening and I think Ian is enjoying birthdays even more now!

Happy 40th Birthday Mom

My mom decided to have a toga party to celebrate her 40th birthday. It turned out really cute! Her friend owns a keg company, so she had empty kegs all over the yard and floating in the pool. She also had couches in the backyard and a fire pit. Of course, everyone dressed in togas and we all had a blast!

Disneyland

Ian and I went to Disneyland to celebrate our birthdays and it was a good thing we got in for free, because it was hot that day! It was during the random heat wave that hit Southern California last week, right before it got rainy with tornados! It was so unbearably hot, that we ended up leaving after a few hours because we were so miserable. We did get to enjoy our favorite rides though and an ice cream, so it was worth it.

Our Birthdays

For our birthdays we ate out... a lot. 

On Ian's birthday, his family joined us for dinner at Lucille's BBQ. Ian loves that place and that is all he wanted to do for his birthday. He also received a new long board skateboard, which he has been riding everyday since. 

On my birthday, Ian made me breakfast in bed (my favorite) and bought me an apron and a cake stand. I have wanted both for so long, believe it or not. It makes me look so domesticated, which is completely false! Later we went a

nd saw Prince Caspian, which was ok. I thought it would be a little better than it was, but it was by no means bad. Then we had dinner at The Cheesecake Factory.

Then, we had dinner with my mom's family and the next day had dinner with my dad's family. So much food! Here are some pictures of us stuffing our faces!

Happy Birthday, My Love!

Happy 31st birthday Ian! Can you believe you are 31?! You are getting old!

I just wanted to let you know I am so grateful for you and all you do. I don't know what I would do without you! Even though we aren't perfect, you are perfect to me. You are the most wonderful husband and my best friend and of course, the most amazing chef! I am so thankful for you today, yesterday, and everyday to come. I love you and I hope you have a wonderful birthday!
