Jori's birthday

I had the hardest time trying to figure out what to do for jori's birthday, he never tells me what he wants so i finally decided to throw a surprise party at gringos! Here are some pictures for ya ;)

Jori is a die hard texas longhorns fan, so i knew i couldn't go wrong with this one!

Okay so the plan was for everyone else to get there around 7:30 and us at 8, well jori decides he wants to go golfing around 5 so im stressing out hoping he will be back in time. 7:30 comes around and he still isnt back, so i text him telling i wanted to go to gringos so he should hurry back cause i was hungry. and i told him to invite his friends so it wouldnt sound suspicious. Kev tells him that 8 sounds perfect to meet up (even though he was already at gringos) Eli told him he wasnt gonna make it. Jason wouldnt answer his phone calls. and Jake told him he was going to the sand dunes, lets just say jori was not a happy camper........when we got there kev heidi and kaleigh were waiting at the door for us then the hostess took us to the back room and there eveyone was....SURPRISE!! and all jori could say was "WHAT THE HECK" it was hilarious. i cant believe how many people actually came. THANK TO EVERYONE THAT SHOWED UP! it meant a lot!!

oh...i was way excited to see lindsey and josh! they just got engaged, congrats!!

Jori and i were talking after the party and he told me how excited and shocked he was about the party, he had so many clues about it and i thought for sure he would have found out!(thanks for keeping it a secret everyone) and he said he had never had a surprise party before and how much it meant to him, that made me feel way good ;)

trying to get jori to pay attention and stop talking in a picture is close to impossible! haha especially when all of his friends are around. so that explains this picture

the boys have literally been friends since grade school. ive never known a group of friends to be so close for so long even after highschool. they still have each others backs in every situation..its crazy! but i love it. and there is never a dull moment when they are all together. And that gave me another idea for jori's birthday....i got a hotel room for the guys, i figured they probably havent had just a boys night out in a LONG time. at least jori hasnt cause i know i was always there hanging out with them. Thanks girls for approving and letting them go!! They are there right now as im doing this and each of them are texting me telling me thanks and how much fun they are having so im WAAAYYY glad it worked out!

I'm dang sad we are going to colorado for a couple years because i wont be able to come home to idaho whenever i want. i LOVE family, i believe they are the best friends you could ever have so being away from both of our families is going to be really hard on me. but we have only heard good things about colorado so that makes me excited. Jori and i have been through a lot together good and bad...its been rough at times but i dont think this will be one of those rough experiences, i think it will really bring us closer together so how could i complain? I've never been good at meeting new people which makes me nervous for this move, i'm such a shy person and usually just stick with people im most comfortable with. Which is another reason i know jori and i were meant to be together, hes so NOT shy. and he is great with talking to complete strangers. We have talked about how we really need to go back to church, we both know its the right thing to do and we feel that life would just go a lot smoother if we started going again...and the friends we will make just by going and becoming new members in a ward will make the move easier as well. Plus, after having tayzli i cant imagine ONLY spending time on earth with her and jori........eternity doesnt even sound long enough for me ;) I LOVE YOU JORI AND TAYZ!<3
