Jaime's Surprise Party & Memorial Day Weekend

Oh my! What a whirlwind of a weekend. Go, Go, Go! But I'm so thankful for all the memories I made this weekend with our friends and family on both sides. 

I planned and pulled off a surprise birthday party for my sweet husband Friday night. He has never had a surprise party so I wanted to change that. PLUS, this was his first birthday back in the states since 2010! You guys?! That's way too many birthdays to spend away from family and to go uncelebrated. It makes my heart hurt to think about it. I'm sure he doesn't really care but I knew he'd appreciate a birthday with family and friends this year regardless. 

It wasn't big and cutesy "Pinterest-ly" decorated but I did have a little patriotic theme going with it also being Memorial Day weekend. I got all the decor and party supplies from the Dollar Tree. Ballin' on a budget, yo! Jaime is not high maintenance or uppity so he could care less that it was even decorated. ha! Such a guy, huh? 

He thanked me repeatedly for getting everyone together for his surprise party. He is a family man, indeed. He even loves my family and all their craziness! Bless him. He truly is the perfect addition to our family, everyone loves him like he was always apart of us. What more could a girl want?

Enough of that stuff, here's some wonderful iPhone quality pictures for you. We had fun! 

Thank you for everyone who came and made Jaime feel special and loved!

You would not believe how bad Jaime wanted a power washer. ha! So that's what I got him, along with some smaller things. Dad got him a charcoal grill-which was his other big request. He is a happy camper!

Happy Birthday!

 

Happy 24th Birthday Jaime Ryan!

It's been 5 years since we've gotten to celebrate with you. In fact, two of those years you were deployed to Afghanistan. I couldn't be any more thankful that you're safe and here with me today. God has answered many prayers in getting you home to us. I hope you loved having friends and family around you last night in celebrating your birthday. {yeah, I pulled off the surprise} We love you. But I love you more than anyone or anything in this earth. You are truly my best friend and I'm so thankful that God chose me to be your wife. I hope year 24 brings you lots of joy, success, and contentment. You are everything I ever hoped for in a husband and so much more! 

I think it's time to celebrate your birthday! Doughnuts? Breakfast in Bed? Brunch at a cutesy place?
