A surprise

October 19, 2012~ Etc.

On the morning of Jay’s birthday as Jay and I were sitting in our room, he said to me, “Look! What is that over there?”  I looked to where he was pointing at, and on top of the clean clothes fresh out of the dryer was a light pink gift bag gently placed on top.  I looked back at Jay with a confused look and he said, “Go see what it is!” with a smirk on his face.  
It was these cool camera lenses specially designed for your phone(more info here, not sponsored:).  I didn’t even know such thing existed!  As I read the note, I figured out that it was a gift for me from Jay since “we’re one.”  It took me back to 6 years ago when we were just dating and it was Jay’s birthday.  I came to work and not long after, I had a beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered to me.  My initial thought was that it was from Jay, but disregarded the thought since it was his birthday and I was the one that’s suppose to give him a present.  I looked for a note and it read, “We’re one now, so that means it’s your birthday today too.  So happy birthday love!  I just wanted to show these flowers how beautiful you are.”
At first I almost hurled at how cheesy that sounded, but when I got over the initial reaction, my heart melted a little. And I knew he was a keeper.

The birthday boy

October 18, 2012~ Etc.

We celebrated Jay’s birthday.  I wanted to throw him a homemade donut & hot chocolate party for his special day, but he just wanted it simple & sweet.  So we finished the night with an oreo ice-cream cake & I saved the best gift for last, which was a little book compiled by his close friends & family of the reasons why we love him.  
Here is one excerpt that made me laugh:
Dear Jay,
I love you.  Your smile, your hair, your left olo.  Brad Pitt drools at the thought of your beauty.  Arnold has your body as his computer’s wallpaper.  Kids wear superman underwear, superman wears Jay’s underwear.  If the church supported gay marriage, we’d be together forever.  
Um, should I be worried? 😉 The most repeated qualities people listed were that Jay is a hard worker, very loyal, always helping someone, is a great dad, and funny.  I agree with all that and much more.  I sure have much catching up to do.   
Happy birthday love, you make me so happy.
Now if you’ll excuse me, there’s not enough room for Jay’s big head so I better leave the room.

ZOO

October 17, 2012~ Etc.

We went to the zoo.
Being the big sister that she is, Adi pushed Ana in the stroller the whole time.
Being the big papa that he is, Jay wore his hella handsome t-shirt.
He sure is indeed.

Engagement photoshoot

October 16, 2012~ Etc.

I took some engagement photos for Jay’s cousin Ezra who is getting married in January.  I also took some engagements for Ezra’s sister a few years ago, and both times I was pretty nervous. I’m not a professional photographer, and what if they don’t like my pictures?  But thanks to the beautiful scenery and the beautiful couple, they ended up loving the pictures!  Either that or they’re just too nice to tell me the truth.  hmm….

Congratulations Ezra and Carol!
