Nothin' to do... but Celebrate YOU!

This weekend we celebrated Jonathan's 23rd birthday because we were both busy on his actual big day.
I thought Jon deserved a big surprise because he is such a hard worker... So I planned a weekend getaway.
While Jon was away- I packed up all we would need in my car, then when he got home I suggested we go celebrate his birthday with lunch at Tucano's (a really yummy Brazilian grill in SLC) The food was amazing, and it just kept coming and coming until we told them to stop! Jon really liked it because it reminded him of food he had on his mission in Paraguay.


I spilled the beans and told our waitress we were there to celebrate Jon's B-day... So they came by with their drums and had Jon shake a tamborine while they sang "Happy Birthday" in Portuguese to him. They even brought him ice cream... Too bad we had already eaten WAY to much!!



Then little did Jon know... We made our way to Provo where I had made reservations at the Hines Mansion Bed and Breakfast. I also had tickets to the BYU game for that night (courtesy of Jon's Dad)
As soon as we started to head further south Jon was wondering where we were going... When we arrived he had the game figured out, but was very surprised to find out we would be staying the night.

Although the game was COLD, and it was kinda boring to watch (BYU was blowing the other team out of the H20!!) we still had so much fun spending quality time together.




The next morning we got up and enjoyed a yummy complimentary breakfast. The Hines Mansion was a very nice place to stay. Our favorite part was soaking in the big Jacuzzi tub after a freezing football game. It was nice not to have to drive home after a late game. The rooms and service were amazing- I highly recommend it!




That night Jon's parents came by for dinner. His Mom baked him a Birthday Cake (his favorite... Funfetti), and we played all his favorite games... He got a really nice new hoodie and a Wii Soccer Game (it's ordered, but still on its way) from them.


I can't speak for him... but I thought it was a great way to celebrate an amazing son, friend, and most of all husband... I love you Jonathan!!
