Joey's Birthday

Joey's 40-something birthday (44 but don't tell anyone) was the 27th of January and it was a very fun one for both of us. I surprised him with a night away at the Hyatt and then a full day the next day at the zoo which was a blast, some shopping at Sportsman's Warehouse, and a birthday dinner at his favorite, The Olive Garden. It was all so much fun! The zoo was so neat because Joey had not been in a very long time and so much had changed. We especially enjoyed watching the baboons and the show they put on for us -- we laughed so hard! We also loved the big screen HD TV at the Hyatt and watched "Fireproof" on pay-per-view after dinner. We had a great time and I believe Joey enjoyed his surprise get-a-way! Then the night of his actual birthday we had a party for him at home and were pleasantly surprised to have most of our family show for the party. How awesome to have so many loved ones for the celebration. Even our home teachers came by to wish him a happy birthday and brought along some neat gifts -- a some little reminders of getting older! Ha! Our home teachers have such a great sense of humor -- we love ya'll! Ha! Happy Birthday, honey, I hope this will be your best year yet!
