Life may be super difficult at times, but we are seriously so blessed. Whenever I get frustrated about things like my school taking FOREVER, having to work full time at a stressful job, waiting to start our family until we are both done with our degrees, busy schedules, difficult callings (I teach the 17-18 year old Sunday school class and it is a major challenge!) and so many other unimportant struggles-like my hair getting totally messed up a few weeks ago by an over-priced, egotistical stylist (I'm sure you have all heard that story by now!) It is so important to reflect on how blessed & spoiled we really are. We recently celebrated Josh's 24th birthday and it was a huge week long celebration. I hope he knows how loved he is!
Some of these photos were taking by our cell phones, so excuse the horrible quality of some of them!
Josh's birthday celebration began a few days prior to his actual birthday at the Casa Del Matador in downtown Portland. Jared and Courtney joined us and it was so fun to go out with them at a restaurant we hadn't been to. The atmosphere was almost Disney-like with wall to wall votive candles, skulls, fire etc. A combination between the haunted mansion and pirates of the Caribbean. We had a blast and enjoyed a delish chocolate cake with a caramel drizzle and ice cream for dessert.

The Matador is on 23rd street downtown so I knew it would be cute before we even arrived. A co-worker of mine-Shanti, suggested it and I'm so glad we went!  |

Leave it to Jared to make a hilarious face. =)  |
