9/13/86: a very happy day

Out of all the extravagant eateries in the Denver metropolitan area, my husband chose a burger joint. (We aren't that into fancy food) It was delicious, AND he got a free dreamsicle birthday shake. 

We went snowboard shopping afterwards with gift cards/money he got from family and then came home for cake. We usually don't buy birthday gifts, but since 25 is sort of a milestone, I surprised him (with a TON of help from our friend Kelly) and got him a longboard! He was so surprised and so excited. We walked/longboarded to the grocery store to get milk just so he could try it out. 

I love him SOOOO much. I can't believe he is 25! We started dating when he was 20! That seems like ages ago. 25 seems so adultish. I still feel like we are 13 year olds playing house. 

So here's to the gracious, rugged, talented, brilliant, humble, tender hearted, manly, hott, patient man of my stinking dreams. Happy Birthday to YOU!

love on the walls

I know I have been absent for like a month. FORGIVE ME! I started my new job, flew home for a friends wedding, had my bff visit from cali.. so life has been a bit crazy! But, I am determined to blog more because I have so much to share! Lots of photos and thoughts to come! As a quick little update, I thought I would share our newest addition to our little home.

I fell in love with this print and this print from Urban Outfitters. But, the frugality in me refused to pay $24 for a stinking pretty piece of paper. BUT, when Tiff was here we randomly ended up in Papyrus, and they had the same EXACT prints for $4.99!! hollllla!!! We framed them in two dark wood ikea frames and I think they turned out pretty good!

And here's a few other snapshots from today. Our typical unmade bed, my handsome sleepy husband, and my favorite succulent and favorite candle.

Have a very happy weekend everyone! I hope to share a few posts next week.

love, the parkers
