Happy Birthday Dear Kenneth!

It has been a while since my last post and I apologize for that. We have been making fun memories left and right this summer, and one of them was getting to visit my parents. While Luke and I were up there in Washington, Ken was home alone doing finals and finishing up the semester. I know sad, right? Before I left, I made some (good) meals that I left in the freezer for him. I tried to be a good wife but still I wasn't going to see him for 3 weeks! I had decided what I wanted to make him for his birthday, but I forgot the stuff for it at home. So, I called up my trusty cousin Aly who was still in Rexburg at the time and had her sneak into our bedroom, grab a huge sack of jeans, stuff them into a little box, and mail it to me in Washington! The day I received it, I got to work right away, cutting out squares and I sort of left a mess in the front room after working on it all night. The next morning I got the best surprise ever! Ken had driven all night to see us! My mom spotted him and frantically ran around trying to get denim squares and scraps out of sight. I only had a few days before his birthday but with help from my mom we were able to work on the quilt and keep it a surprise. He seemed to like it! For his birthday we went out to El Ranchon in good old Elma. I still think the sombrero was the best part. Then at home we had blackbottom cake and ice cream. Oh and I guess I should add that Ken turned 27.
