Surpises!!!!

December was the CRAZIEST month!!!  It seems like every night there was something Brandon and I had to do.  I was finishing up a semester at the U, and Brandon was busy with work.  We were buying presents for Christmas, and I had a birthday.  On the last day of my finals, Dec 19th, there was a huge snowstorm, and it took me an hour and a half to drive home.  Brandon had told me we were going to leave that night at 5:00 PM to go with his family to a cabin, so when I got home around that time, I was rushing to pack!  When I had thrown everything together, we were on our way but he told me he had left his phone at my house.  We went back, and walked through the front door.... and pow... I was attacked with silly string!

Brandon, being the sweet amazing wonderful guy that he is, had planned a surprise birthday party for me!  He knew how important it was to me to have a birthday party with my whole family, and he knew that wouldn't happen because I was going to visit my parents... so he planned a party with my siblings that live here in Utah.  He came up from provo early with pizza and silly string, and after we left everyone came over.  It was so much fun!!  Shar and Brian gave me a princess set (which Ava LOVED!) and pajama pants.  David and Kari gave me a super soft blanket!

and Brandon gave me this awesome perfume.  He also put together a poem, and a yellow brick road (which you can see below).  At the "end of the yellow brick road" there were two tickets to WICKED!  I am So excited!  We'll be going after we're married!  It was such a wonderful birthday! Brandon made sure everything was covered!  He even made sure Shar made my favorite cake, and decorated it!!!  It was so special.  I just can't believe I'm so lucky to have Brandon!  Sometimes I feel like I just don't deserve such a considerate, wonderful guy!!!!
