Connor's Birthday

Connor's birthday was Oct. 13th and was a GLORIOUS day!!! He was on campus for most of the day, so I didn't know what I was going to do to make his day a fun one. So, the night before, I wrapped a few presents and hid them in his backpack.  Then that morning I made him one of his favorite breakfast and sent him on his way.  About an hour after he left I sent him a message to open the first present that was in his pocket.  Which was a letter saying happy birthday, i love you, blah blah blah and also directions about the other presents in his backpack that he might come across.  So, every hour or so I would tell him another present to unwrap and we did this almost the entire time he was at school. Which was actually a lot of fun for me! And he did a good job at actually waiting to open em until I said so. After he got back, we ran over to a money wise workshop where we're learning all about how to save our money and budgeting and all that good stuff we should all know.  AFFFTER the workshop we came back to a decorated apartment!!! 

 Before we went to the workshop I blew up some balloons and put up some streamers and made him one of his favorite birthday cakes!!! We had a stuffed pizza from Papa Murphies and some rootbeer then opened presents and had cake!

He got a lot of his favorite treats and some Tea Tree shampoo (Which rocks! It's minty and tingly, if you haven't tried it, you should!) and some cologne.  Buuuuut I think that best present of all was the one that Ryan and Meredith gave him.  It's a router!!!!!! If you've ever been to our apartment you probably have noticed we have to be plugged in, in order to use the internet.  And only have the option of sitting in two of the coushins of the couch! Noooooow we could use the internet ANYWHERE our little heart desires! In the kitchen, the extra room, our bedroom?!!?!? IT ROCKS!!!!! We feel very spoiled. 

I made my first German Chocolate cake for his birthday-With the help of greatly appreciated directions from Annette- And it turned out really well!!! It was pretty yummy! 

Happy Birthday Corndog!! I am glad you were born and in my life! You are the best and I can't wait to spend another year of our lives with you!!!!!!!!!! Now lets go make being 24 the best year EVER!
