So, yesterday was Jon's 25th Birthday! :) I took off half a day at work so that I could get a few last things for his birthday and to make sure I could have dinner pretty much ready for when he got off work! :)
I made Jon's most favorite meal ever...CHICKEN PARMIGIANA! I cheated and went to Olive Garden and got the Salad, Bread Sticks, and Tiramisu!
I figured that instead of getting Jon a birthday cake he would rather have the tiramisu! I also made some chocolate dipped strawberries and they were yummy!
We had a nice candlelight dinner. Talked about the night we met which was 6 years ago yesterday! It's hard to believe that I met my hubby on a blind date to a silly high school dance!
After dinner he got to open up his gifts! Jon is the HARDEST person in the world to buy a gift for. I was STUMPED on what I should get him!
Mom MADE him the coolest thing ever. (see pics below!)
She got 3 jars that had money in them. On each jar there was a different die cut. 1 was a house, 1 was a heart with cross, and 1 was a crown. The idea behind the jars is for us to save money for 1 whole year and NOT touch the money (except the heart with cross jar!) and see how much we have saved over a year. The heart with cross is obviously for our tithing jar. We are suppose to save and when we feel led we are suppose to tithe that money. The one with the house is for our house fund. We want to buy a house in 2 years (our goal at least) and we want to have a nice down payment. This way we will have a good down payment! And the one with the Crown is for him to buy himself something he wants! I thought this idea was GREAT. I guess the hard part will be not touching the money for a whole year! Thanks, Mom! :)
Mom also gave Jon a new auburn hat! His was SO gross! He was excited to get a new one!
(picture is kinda blurry!)
I got him another big picture frame that has the writing on them. I am OBSESSED with those frames! I found my first one at Cotton Tails last year and have been obsessed with them ever since! (I actually got my parents one for a "thank you" gift for giving us an amazing wedding!) The one I got Jon says "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back it always yours. If it doesn't it was never yours to begin with!" It has kinda always been a saying of ours. So, when I saw the frame I knew I had to get it for his birthday!
I also got him a pair of Auburn shorts, a new pair of jeans, and new shirt!
(Picture is REALLY blurry! Ah well, you get the picture!)
I hope he had a Happy Birthday! I remember telling him last year "This time next year we will be MARRIED!" It seemed so FAR off then, but WOW the time certainly flew by!
We are going to a movie EARLY this afternoon! Jon is taking me to go see "Confessions of a Shopaholic!" I am excited. I have read the books and feel like I relate to her pretty well. HA. He is so sweet to take me to a GIRLY movie on Valentines. Valentines Day 6 years ago we went and saw Daredevil. I remember we found the last 2 seats together in that movie theater! It was crazy! So, I am glad to be going EARLY! Maybe we can beat the crowd! :)
I hope you all have a great Valentines Day! Every year since I can remember my daddy has given me a Valentine Card. I am anxiously awaiting for the mail to come so I can see if he sent me one! I told him that even though I was married I still wanted one from him! Something I always look forward to on Valentines! :)
Blessings and LOVE,
