Happy, Happy Birthday!

Jake is the man behind the drill, hammer, miter saw, and paint brush around these parts.  He writes posts for Welcome Sunshine Home too whenever he can wrestle the laptop away from me (but I'm scrappy so that's not too often).  ;)  Here are a few of his posts: Ice Cube Flinging (a Jordan family tradition), Our Proposal Stories, Hot and Tankless, Random Acts of Kindness, and Renovation Realities.

Jake, do you remember when I said "Oh no, I won't put these on the blog" when we were in that garden in Cape Cod?  I don't print photos anymore and these make me too happy not to record them here.

He was being silly while I took photos from several yards away on the other side of some hedges as I pretended to be the paparazzi.  We make our own fun (bonus points to anyone who can name that reference!), people.

I love this man!  :)

But wait there's more!  Two of my favorite people in the whole wide world were born on the same day (a couple years apart).  Stacy...Stacy...Stacy, are you there darling?  You didn't think that I'd forget about you, did you?  :)  Stacy's a smart chick who takes her whole birthday week off from work (genius, right?) and also made me promise never ever post her photo online.  It's a bummer because I've got a really good one of her holding another friend's super cute baby.  Stacy, FYI, I'm holding your birthday presents hostage until I can take you out for your birthday lunch next week! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jake and Stacy!
