Happy Birthday to you...

Well, my wonderful hunk of a husband turned 23 this weekend! That's right, 23 he's growing up so fast! And is what quite an enjoyable weekend! Saturday, we got to hang out which was quite nice. We even got a babysitter for Saturday night, and I surprised Eric the whole night. So, first I took him to a shooting range, why you ask? Well for two reasons: 1-Eric likes guns=Army 2-Eric is notorious for buying a gun, owning it for a couple years, selling it and buying another, while the whole time never shooting this or any gun once, that's right, he owns a gun but never shoots it, seems pointless to me. So, we went there and the whole time planning this event I never actually thought about me having to shoot the gun, let's just say I was flipped out. We get set up, eric shoots a couple times and can I just say how stinkin loud it was.



So, he wanted me to try, nervous, he stands behind me, helps me hold this 12 gauge SHOTGUN, and it fires back right into my arm, OUCH is all have to say. So, Eric shot some more, and I went to rent a different gun and got myself a glock(a handgun...I think) anyways with some help and encouragement, I shot it and did pretty well according to Eric.



And of course he did great! And loved it! So far successful!


Then we went and got some dinner, delicious and so peaceful by ourselves.
Then we headed to Zoo city, it's like an arcade, go carting. And it good, I must say though after shooting a real gun, those gun arcade games are quite addictive, Eric and I killed it forever in this game. Then Eric crushed this girls dream by getting the Jackpot on this one game getting him 300 tickets. That’s a right person, that’s my husband! I was so proud of him. Then we concluded our night, with a slew of candy from our tickets! Who doesn't love a bunch of tootsies?




Sunday Eric's actual birthday was so busy for him, he taught the deacon class(Eric was called to be the Young Men's 2nd counselor) and then he had to speak in Sacrament for 20 minutes on missionary work, and he did AWESOME!


We ended the day with some Cocounut Cake(Eric’s choice) and some birthday candles!
So, happy birthday Eric, I love you and thank you to Connie and Larry for raising such an amazing man!
