Zack is 27!

Zack is 27!!!!

Since when did we get closer to 30 than 20!? Scary!

I love this man with all my heart, guts, mind, spirit, and strength!

Since Zack's birthday was Sunday we mostly celebrated on Saturday. We started out the day by having brunch with the Nelsons. We used my new griddle!

Then we were off to get pedicures!!! It's getting difficult for me to cut, shape, and paint my own toe nails, so this was just as much a gift to me as it was Zack, ha!

After our feets were looking fleek (I'm so sorry...using the lingo is a great way to remember the times! lol), we went to Tina's house for a party. It was awesome! She's a co-worker of Z's who is fun and hilarious. Her deck is amazeballs, her house is adorable, and her yard is the perfect size. I might have some home envy. :) She served fajitas and I drowned myself with soda while getting to know some knew folks. After the sun went down Zack and I had a magical experience.......fireflies!!! We've never seen them before! They were EVERYWHERE! It was incredible! In our late 20's and still acting like kids! I love it!

Here's all the cards we got for our Anniversary and Birthdays :)

On Zack's actually birthday we did our regular Sunday routine and laid in bed extra late, ate a nice breakfast, and went to church. This was Zack's first day in his new calling as a nursery worker. This will definitely be a challenging calling for both of us. I'm proud of him for taking it on though. 

That evening Stephanie came over to have cake with us and sing happy birthday. While we were getting ready to dive into the cake Stephanie is all "did you hear that?" And I'm like "wuuuuuut?" Well, there WAS a noise.....it was someone at the door.......the missionaries.....at 9 PM! Ummm? Ok? All they wanted was to "set up a time to meet with your family." I was so shocked they came to our apartment so late at night for something that could be easily taken care of with a text that I shooed them out as quickly as possible with an available time and a brownie to go. I'm still miffed by it all. Just so odd. If it wasn't for Zack's birthday and Stephanie being with us we would have been in bed in our knickers! LOL Before going to sleep, Zack briefly talked to his family for his birthday and then we were OUT. I can't get enough sleep these days!

Now it's back to the work week! Today (Monday) was absolutely fabulous. We finally got the sun back and I went on a nice, but surprisingly chilly, walk and then headed off to work. When I got home the cats and I did our usual routine of them begging for attention, chilling on the balcony with the birds, making dinner, and then hanging out with Zack. Today was extra special because Zack came home with the glass for our table. I *LOVE* it! I can finally relax a little about not destroying our lovely table. While bringing up the last parts for the table our shirtless neighbor having a smoke told me to let him know if we ever want to part with our 4Runner. Good luck with that buddy.....I know to keep an eye on you now (jk, but seriously)! ;) 17 years old and she still gets attention! :D Now we're just relaxing until bed time, which is feeling like right about NOW! :p
