Birthday Boy

This week, Jordan turned 24. If you ask me, that sounds pretty old...but I guess that's just part of growing up. His actual birthday was on Wednesday, but in the Hansen household, we celebrate birthdays all week long. On Sunday we had dinner over at my moms. She made London Broil, twice baked potatoes, broccoli & cauliflower with cheese sauce, and breadsticks; all at the request of the birthday boy. After dinner we made homemade Oreo cookies (one of Jordan's favorites), tried to find a candle, and finally had to settle with this one....

9...24....it's all the same right?

When we got home after dinner, I let him open one of his presents from me. I had a hard time waiting until his REAL birthday...I just got too excited I guess!
Monday night, my family took Jordan out to dinner to Nielsen's (his choice). There, he opened his gift from my family. He got a jacket he's been wanting since last Christmas! Lucky boy!

Tuesday night we both stayed up late so Jord could open his presents right at midnight. Clearly I don't have any pictures...we just weren't dressed appropriately. But let's just say he was spoiled! After he opened all his presents and thanked me, I told him how spoiled he was. He said, "well I deserve it, right?" Haha right you are!
For his birthday dinner we went to Rodizio Grill, just the two of us. The food was delicious as always, but we always end up eating a little too much, and leave feeling a little sick. Oh well, you've gotta live right?!

Dinner with the handsome birthday boy

Thursday night we went out to dinner with Jordan's dad to Zupa's and then went to a choir concert up at the U. Like I said before, we celebrate birthdays all week long. The festivities aren't over yet....we still have one more day!
I'm so grateful I married Jordan. He's truly amazing. Sometimes I ask myself how I got so lucky! Here's some things I really love about him:
-He can always make me laugh
-He cares so much about others
-He's a great friend
-He's an amazing listener (I think he listens more than me...whoops!)
-He's very helpful, he helps me clean AND do the laundry without me even having to ask!
-He's always happy
-He's a very hard worker
-He's a good sharer
-He loves to shop (haha)
-He's a worthy Priesthood holder
-He's always thinking of nice things to do for me
-He's determined
-He has a strong testimony
-He's adorable with kids (even though he claims he doesn't like them)
-He's so always so sweet to his family and mine
The list could go on an on. There are many times when I'm laying in bed trying to fall asleep and I can't help but think of how lucky I am that I get to spend eternity with someone so amazing. He's always there when I need him, he's always so sweet and caring, and I couldn't picture my life with anyone else!
Happy Birthday Jordan! I'm so glad you're mine!
