Jake's Birthday Surprise

Jake's birthday was on the 28th and luckily enough for him, he didn't have to spend it in Michigan. Since he was gone for a few days I was able to plan a fun surprise for him. He had to work that day but had the next day off so I thought we could go on a little camping trip! There was a small catch however, our camping spot was on our balcony..


The tent was a gift for Jake and it was pretty difficult to set up on that balcony, but I managed to get it done after lunch



My plan was to go out for pizza then come home and make smores with the candles as our campfire



Jake was surprised when I told him we would be eating dessert on the balcony and making the smores was pretty fun!



The next morning we decided to go out to breakfast and Jake got something that reminded him of his favorite dish from the Bay Leaf in Salt Lake called the second coming

It was fun to surprise Jake for his birthday, it's a tough thing to do! And it was almost ruined by the sun... I wasn't sure if Jake would notice this so I didn't let him inside when he came home and we had an early dinner


We liked our tent and our camping spot so much that we spent two nights out there! Thanks for having a birthday Jake and for not knowing what you wanted so I could do what I wanted ;)

  1. No doubt Jake realizes on a daily basis what a unique life partner he has and how much joy you bring to his life :). (Not that he hasn't contributed to your joy also.)

  2. That is so very fun! I am jealous you thought of the idea and I didn't!! :) Happy Birthday Jake!

    PS: been meaning to text you since your "move to Arizona" comment on our blog. I actually thought about that but we are thinking more out east...sorry!! It would be totally fun though since we could spend all day together, with no jobs and all!! :)
