16 Weeks!



Happy 27th!

Today is my birthday and I LOVE it! I love my birthday, it is the one time of the year were it is all about me, attention is on ME.  Selfish... I think not.  Everyone should want to be spoiled and looked after one day of the year.  Today was a special day for my parents and it will be for me forever!
So CJ and his sister (thanks Meg!) came up with this scavenger hunt for me when I came home from Visiting Teaching this morning.

To the most important woman in the world this day:
Happy Birthday! I hope you know how much you mean to me. I have put together a scavenger hunt around our home to remind you of some of my favorite memories that we have made together. Here is your first clue!

The first time I saw you I could hardly wait to take you on our very first date;
It would be "dandy" if we could meet
at the place where I took you to eat!
 This was at "The Office" in Prescott, so I went into our office and found some wild flowers.
Clue#2:
With a ring in my pocket~ I was so excited, you see
That I even forgot to get down on one knee!
Go to the place where these gems are stored
to see what has been added to your nice little hoard...
 This was a huge fake heart ring and it was in my jewelry box.
Clue #3:
Something old, something new~ Remember when we said "I do"?
On the glorious day that you took my last name
I wish I could put my memory in a frame....
This was a frame of us walking on the Mesa Temple grounds
Clue #4:
We started our journey at 3028,
But things started to get fun at 3171!
Though our time been long here at 39,
I'm sure our next place will be just fine!
 This was a bottle of sparkling Cider outside our house
Clue #5:
Hi-ho, Hi-ho, off to the Navy we go!
You've been so supportive; it's no piece of cake-
With the piles of laundry I've started to make!
This was on our washer with a cake cutter 
Clue #6:
Oh, the places we go!
The adventures we take!
It might not be a fairytale,
But what a story we make!
 This was in our bookshelf with a new pair of slippers!
 Clue #7
Its been a long road, full of heartache and pain,
But from this point on, our lives wont be the same.
It bought joy to my heart and tears to my eyes
When you gave me this most wonderful surprise!
The time has now come for your birthday kiss...
Where our baby was made in a moment of bliss!
CJ was in our room with flowers and a red velvet cake and Sparkling Cider, and my new necklace, and a letter!
Tonight we went out to this fabulous restaurant in Charleston called Poogan's Porch, great food with a good price tag.  We then headed to get some frozen yogurt and do a little sight seeing.
I will have to say this has been a great Birthday!
