--HAPPY BIRTHDAY--

I had a lot of fun planning for Burke's birthday this year! I decided to bake a kind of cake that I had never made before and I liked the way it turned out (I want to learn more about making cakes). Lucky for me I got to see him all day long because we work together and surprise him with balloons at work! All the kids were so cute and told him Happy Birthday a bazillion times and I can't even count how many cards he was given...I think I may have some competition with a few of the little girls ;). The day was a lot of fun. Burke loves Panda Express so we went there and then I sent him on a little scavenger hunt for movies that remind me of him and dates that we have been on. It was so much fun to create and watch him discover where the next movie was hidden!

Burke is Incredibly handsome, Amazingly talented, Extremely smart, and a Tremendous guy to love! Love you lots sir!

-WELCOME HOME-

Last night our close friend, Becky Graf, came home from Serving a Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Russia. Her flight did not land until mid-night but we were not about to miss her! Becky and I were room-mates when we moved up to Provo to go school and we did just about everything together. I have always looked up to her and knew she would one day go on a mission. The people in Russia were lucky enough to have her! Becky is full of love and willing to serve anyone with whatever is needed. Of course the airport is such an exciting and busy time so we are looking forward to talking with her more and hearing about her great experiences as she served in Russia. Welcome home Becky--We love you!
