B-day and a New Ride!!

Jeff had a pretty good week, he got a new car and turned 24. Jeff has had his parents old car for a little while and even though we were so grateful for it we were glad to get rid of it. It did not have air conditioning and you had to open the trunk before you got in it or the alarm would go off. Jeff was such a good sport driving it to UVU every other day in 90 degree weather but we knew he could not do it for long. We started looking for new cars on KSL but for some reason we just could not commit to anything. We were nervous about having another payment and we did not want to buy a car that we would have to spend a ton of money fixing up. Well we kind of put the car shopping on hold and forgot about it when we were at Sunday dinner and my brother in law told Jeff that he was getting a new truck and selling his. His is a truck just like Jeff wanted and we knew that it had been taken care of. My brother in law has had it since 1999 and it only has 70,000 miles on it. We were so excited and we knew we could not pass it up so we told him we would take it. The only thing was that it is a manual and Jeff has never driven one before. That made him a little nervous but I encouraged him that he would love it. So we took it and he could not be more excited. I love seeing Jeff happy about something like this. He is like a little kid with a new toy it is so fun.

Jeff also had a birthday this week. It is kind of fun having our birthdays within a week of each other because we get to celebrate for two weeks. I woke up a little early for work on his birthday and made this little banner for him to see when he got up for school. I also bought him a new video game that he has been wanting. I wanted to hide the gift and then when he was done with school I was going to text him to find and open it so he would not be anxious during class to play it but I could not wait till then so I let him open it when he woke up. Here is a pic of him happy with his new game and our baby. Guidos eyes look a little creepy. That night we went to dinner at Ruby River which is Jeffs favorite place and then we went and played miniature golf. It was a lot of fun just hanging just the two of us.

Jeff takes this game pretty serious and of course he always wins.
We both had great birthdays and thank you everyone that made it that much better. We also took family pictures a couple weeks ago that turned out great so I will post those soon.
