May Madness

Well a lot has happened this past month. Let me see if I can catch you up…

When Matthew and I first arrived in Texas my parents flew off to Israel for about ten days. They had the time of their lives while the four kids, two dogs, and one cat held down the fort in Texas (Matthew refers to it as living in The Wild Animal Park).

Earlier this month my 24th birthday occurred. I feel so old saying that. In California Matthew’s family threw a surprise birthday party. I loved all my gifts and appreciate all that they did to throw the party. It was a wonderful surprise. When we finally got to Texas the Riggs family threw me a birthday party as well. Thank you to the Riggs family for putting that on. The special thing about this birthday party was I got to spend it with my cousin Ben. His birthday is on the 10th and mine is on the 12th. When we were kids the family would always throw our birthday parties together. So it was kind of neat to have that happen again and celebrate with him. I also have to mention the wonderful cake Marissa made. I had a great time watching her make it and I think she did a great job for her first cake. Thank you Marissa Boo for a yummy birthday cake!

Another big event this past month was my Aunt Linda’s 50th birthday. Gary flew all the kids down from Utah so the entire family could be here for her big surprise party. It was such a fun party and it was great to see Jake, Paris, Jaxen, Adam and Stephanie.

Marissa and Ryan also had there one year anniversary. Marissa surprised Ryan with a candle light dinner so it was fun to be here to help her with that. She was so excited and just giddy about it. It was cute to see her like that. Happy Anniversary you two!!

Right now we are in California enjoying the sunny days and beautiful weather. We will be back with our fellow Texans next week.
