24!

Yesterday was my 24th birthday and it was a good one!  Coby's family has a tradition of having "birthday pancakes" for everyone's birthday.  So we started out with Coby making me pancakes. (When we got married I was pretty excited to keep this tradition going... and he never made me any pancakes!  Well I told how cool I thought it was so now he doesn't forget!)

Then I went shopping with my mom to a favorite store (Anthropologie) and then out to dinner with my family.  
So while Coby was here:

we were having fun at dinner then went home and watched 7 lbs.  (SAD MOVIE)  Coby got home around 10:30 and the movie had only been on for about 15 min. and he kept telling me to stay as long as I wanted and to pretty much not come home cause he was busy.

The night before I told Coby I was so excited to wake up and have the entire house covered with balloons and streamers on the ceiling so thick you couldn't even see the ceiling.  Then I told him about the chocolate cake I couldn't wait to have.  ( he looked at me like I was nuts)  So after the movie I came home and he double bolted me out of the house.  So he comes and answers the door and there is a big chocolate cake on the table with candles in it.  (It's around 12:30 am.)  So he's talking to me and I'm walking to the bedroom to change and all the doors are closed.  I thought it was weird so I opened the first door to the office and see this:

He closed all the doors so I wouldn't think it was weird that the office was closed, but I kind of ruined that.  He blew ALL  of these (over 150 balloons) from AFTER the game to when I got home, and while he was making a cake at the same time!  Busy hour and a half!

Then he sang to me while I blew out my candles.  I was pretty impressed.  It was a good day!

I guess it was a pretty happy 24th birthday. He told me he had it covered, I didn't know he meant balloons! Happy Birthday!

I LOVE it!! That is amazing Coby. Nice work. I can not believe you blew up all of those balloons by your self and made a cake in such a short time! I love the picture of Ashley blowing out the candles surrounded in colorful balloons. So cute.
And great pancakes too!
Wow! I'm impressed. :)

Lucky girl. Coby SERIOUSLY needs to to talk to Jon cuz Jon is clueless in the department of cute birthday surprises.
