I had such a good weekend. I love conference and I love my birthday (Curtis is learning how much I love my birthday since I keep telling him it's a week long celebration. He keeps teasing me saying, "It's your birthday this year!") Alright, alright, maybe I make it into more than it should be... but I just get so excited! The beginning of the day didn't start off as hoped... I woke Curtis up by practically jumping on the bed like a little girl filled with the excitement of Christmas morning. I was stoked to say the least. As soon as he was somewhat awake I told him I had a "special secret" but that he had to guess what it was. After about 5 minutes of completely silly guesses I gave him a hint: "It has something to do with what today is." He replied with many more off-the-wall guesses including: "It's Groundhog's Day!" "It's Jenny's due date!" "Ummm... it's the day we first met 6 years ago!" (Note: we haven't even known eachother for 6 years). This continued for about 5 more minutes when I interjected, "This is getting sad. You really don't know?" He continued to guess more and more ridiculous things until I got upset. Turns out, he knew it was my birthday all along but was just messing with me. I sincerely thought he had forgotten (I'm not sure how all his laughing and silliness got past me) and it took a
lot of convincing for me to believe it was all just a joke. After a few hours, I was able to laugh it off. I know, I know... I should know better from this man. He
is Curtis Heyman, the teaser. And... I should really lighten up.
The day got much much better from there. Cur had a few suprises for me, we got to go to conference with our friends Becky & Troy at the Conference Center, we went to my mom's for an amazing (as usual) dinner, and I got the sweetest
tribute from Chelsea on her blog. I love birthdays!
Anyway, here are a few pics from my favorite day! Here's us on the Conference Center balcony.

Getting ready... make a wish!
With my sweetheart.

The excitement really comes out in the blowing out the candles picture. You must think you are old if you have to take that big of a breathe. Happy Birthday.
