i love him. i really really do.

25th birthday

for my lover.

a quarter of a century years old.

i'm not sure how i feel about it. 

however, i do know that i feel this man is perfect for me. 

his sweedish face and all

(don't those lips look like they belong to a porcelain doll!?)

i have mentioned before how "opposites attract" is truly 

a title that applies to us in every way.

our looks, personalities, thinking patterns, etc..etc...

many know that one of the ways daron is my opposite is how domestic he is.

yes. i will admit it. my husband is a better homemaker than i am.

he is better at 

-cooking

-cleaning

-decorating

-nurturing (especially when someone is sick)

-organizing

and basically all things with the home.

this may be shameful for some women. i, however,  accept it and just thank my lucky stars i have him because i truly dont know what i would do.

yesterday (on his birthday) he went to the ivory furniture sale with my aunt.

(a sale where you get the furniture from ivory's model homes for 80-90% off.)

i admittedly have not yet attended one of these furniture sales yet. daron goes each time without me and picks out everything for our little home.

can you believe that??

he not only picks it out, but then he will decorate it.
like so:

my favorite new addition he brought home.

this lovely chair 

oh how i just love this chair. 

the truth is: daron's birthday was supposed to be a dud.

i was supposed to work until 7 like normal and we had stake conference (not that that is bad but not the most birthday-esque thing to do)

we planned to celebrate it next week.

but then, we had some unexpected surprises.

work was slow. i got off early at noon!

after stake conference, we visited my aunt to return her car, and we had 

-cake

-birthday candles

-and family time.

it didn't turn out so bad after all.

we will still be celebrating next week though. because it was not enough.

and i haven't even given daron his present for crying out loud!

p.s. coming soon:

L-ham and Brycen's engagement.

oh how it was a night to remember.
