His 28th Year

This handsome husband of my celebrated his 28th birthday this weekend. We kept it simple with dinner, walks, and enjoying the beautiful weather Michigan is giving us before we pack up. The only thing Derek requested for his day was chocolate cake with fluffy white icing, which I make for him every year. We reminisced about past birthdays {and couldn't believe this year will mark 5 years of them together!}, and I reminded Derek how from here on out, the rest of this month is all about celebrating him and his accomplishments. Who knew that first birthday in Rexburg that in just a few years we would be married, celebrating his medical school graduation, and moving to San Diego for residency, all while being surrounded our family. It's funny how life does that sometimes; just gets better as the years go on.
