scene from last weekend

what I love about this picture: computer, beer, paint card samples... and Jason frosting a cake!

isn't he sweet for making us a birthday cake?

look who came to visit!

Jason had convinced me we were going on a little trip for my birthday. He told me to pack a bag and we went to the airport Friday evening, where I was going to find out what the trip was as soon as our tickets printed out of the machine. But instead, when we got there, we found my sister standing around the ticketing area. There were many tears of laughter and a LOT of explanations on the way home from the airport. I had tried to think of every possible weekend trip we could possibly be taking, but I had completely ruled out seeing brooke or other family members because I knew exactly what everyone was supposed to be doing this weekend. Turns out brooke's story was a lie!

What an awesome birthday surprise. It has been years since brooke & I have spent our birthday together (yesterday was her birthday, too!). Happy birthday, sister! And Jason deserves huge kudos for thinking up the idea, putting up with my pestering questions, and arranging for everything to happen. This was definitely a memorable birthday.

oh my goodness, oh my goodness!

Jason pulled off a BIG birthday surprise for me with the help of brooke & the rest of the family. I'll tell the whole story soon!

we're cool like that

Three years ago today

Three years ago today: my graduation from KU, and the day Jason asked me to marry him (though I didn't know it yet at the time of this picture).

Happy engagement-versary, Jas!

Jason rocks!

He got me a Wii for my birthday! Holy cow!

Happy March!

Happy birthday to Jason!

(birthday was actually Wednesday, but I had temporarily misplaced the camera cord). Happy belated birthday, Jason!
