Aaron Turned 29

We love this man of ours. We being me, Grace, and Christian. Aaron and I are in the crazy phase of our lives that is busy, tiring, and we find ourselves apart more than we would like. We have a young family, Aaron is young in his career, and with church responsibilities, family being away and everything else that life throws at us we're doing the best that we can to balance it all. Sometimes we get the balancing act, and sometimes we fail miserably. But when we can all be together, we make the most of it.

One of mine and Grace's favorite days is Aaron's birthday. I love to spoil and celebrate Aaron, and Grace loves to have birthday parties. Seriously, if you want pure enthusiasm bottled up in a small package following you around telling you how "wonderful" this is, and how "beautiful" that is, and how "exciting" everything is; call Grace. She will ensure you repeatedly that this will be the party of the century and that she can't wait say Happy Birthday and eat cake.

Despite the fact that Aaron loves a low-key celebration, Grace's enthusiasm would lead you to believe this is the best party ever. This year we definitely kept it low-key (notice the "wrapping job" on his gifts...)

 But we got him just what he wanted (the tie is from my Mom)

 The perfect cake, Pumpkin cheesecake.

 And with dinner and all of the excitement, Aaron was tuckered out. Definitely a success.

We love this man.

And next year he turns 30. Holy Moly, when did we grow up?
