26

This week was a simple one, although one main event stood out--- Paul's 26th Birthday was on Thursday!  Hurray!  So, in celebration, we made it as fun as possible.  Thursday day, the girls and I surprised Paul by showing up to his new job with a beautifully made cake (from costco), for him and all his co-workers to enjoy!  We ate lunch together at Jason's Deli, and i was so sad because i forgot my camera!  Later that evening, we doubled on a date with Chelsea & Danny and went to Joe's Farm Grill for dinner, and then to the movies (Snow White & the Huntsman- great movie!)  Paul's big gift this year was a pricey one, but one that he truly has wanted for some time... i bought him a PLAYSTATION!!! He was quite thrilled.  Although we had fun, Paul's birthday PARTY wasn't until Saturday...

HAPPY 26th BIRTHDAY!!!

At Joe's Farm Grill- yum!!!!

Although we had fun, Paul's birthday PARTY wasn't until Saturday...

So, i had been planning this for a few weeks.  I knew what party theme to do: "a guy's only- out in the desert- shooting stuff is fun- manly men with guns" party.  It was a surpirse!!!!!--- oh wait, until paul spied on my emails and ended up blowing my big plans.  (And yes, i cried).  BUT, he felt bad, and was very excited.  
So, at 6AM the guys all met at our home for amazing breakfast burritos (yep, i can cook!) and then headed off into the desert to blow stuff up, shoot clay pigeons, and just have some good quality male bonding.  Although i wasn't there, it sure sounded like everyone had a great time and that it was a huge success!  Glad Paul has such great friends... and that no one shot their own foot or anything  :)
