My 25th Birthday






Today was my 25th birthday. It is nice to have Kyle home to celebrate it with. He really worked hard to make it a special day for me. After church I got to take a nap...which I love, a Sunday afternoon nap, nothing quite compares to that. He wanted to take me out to the lake for a picnic but due to the weather we had to have the picnic inside. He even put down a quilt with blankets over it so it would feel more like grass.
So tonight, he blew me away with his baking and cooking skills. I must say I was a little leary when I heard him say..."Hmm...I think cake needs butter."
He cooked me a dinner of teriyaki burgers w/ a side of pineapple and cheese {interesting sides, but good none the less.) He also wasn't sure what I would want to drink, so he placed in front of me every drink we had in the refrigerator. I had my choice of cream soda, fresca, chai tea, and a mocha frappacino. He wanted me to drink them all, but there was no way. He then made me my birthday cake and decorated it with marshmellows. He had the kitchen door closed when he was decorating the cake, and I was preparing myself for the worst to come out of the kitchen. There was a lot of noise coming from inside. Apparently I don't give him enough credit because I thought the cake was really cute and he even sang happy birthday to me. Kyle did a great job and I really loved everything he did for me. This was the first time he has ever cooked anything besides macaroni and cheese with brats in it for me, so I am really impressed (I told him he secret was out that he can cook). Thanks for making my birthday special Kyle!
I have included some pictures from our "picnic" for all of you.
