I spoiled JJ with 25 presents for his 25th birthday, along with little notes scattered (and some hidden) with 25 reasons why I love him! It was actually really difficult to only choose 25, my list was a lot longer than that!
Because I am my Mother's daughter, I couldn't let him see what was awaiting him... so I rigged up this contraption to hide his presents! :) Thanks mommy!!
My silly little husband was just too excited and covered his eyes while I got everything else ready...
Presents!!!!
Is this True or what?!?!
Thanks to Mom & Art and Amy & Jayson & kids for joining us for his birthday dinner at Red Lobster! I abhor ocean bugs and therefore JJ doesn't get the chance to eat seafood all that often. So, because of this special occasion, I decided to let him consume the nastiness. Now you really know I love him!
After dinner we drove up to Sub Zero - the most awesome ice cream place in all the land!!! There are 5 steps to deliciousness: #1 Pick your size #2 Pick your base (i.e. cream, yogurt, soy, etc) #3 Pick your flavor(s) #4 Pick your mix-ins and finally #5 Watch it Freeze - with LIQUID NITROGEN!!!! This is where JJ's grin was officially plastered to his face, just about the cutest thing ever!!
I know that my ice cream doesn't look very appetizing, but trust me, it was pure heaven. I got Chocolate Mint Oreo, I'm drooling just thinking about it.... JJ got Lime Cherry with citric acid for tartness and strawberries as a mix-in. I wasn't a fan but he was in 3.14159th heaven!
The Whittle family blessed JJ with another one of his favorite past times - lighting things on fire. :)
The next day we had dessert at his mom's house - she decorated too!!
JJ had to showcase all his gifts - he couldn't get over how many things I got him or that I went to all the work I did to put together a special day for him. I love you JJ!!!!!

Now a 2nd little post about JJ -
August 4th was JJ's last day at Salt Lake Community College!!! He has graduate with his Associate of Science Degree!!! Woot!! He didn't think it was a big deal, but of course I did, so I had to decorate & celebrate!
CongratUlations JJ for being accepted to the University of Utah!!!
He was VERY surprised and couldn't stop laughing at me for going so overboard. I love you to pieces Jidge, and I'm oh so very proud of you, all your hard work and all that you've accomplished! I love you!
