Next item of business, Danny's 25th birthday!! He turned 25 on Saturday and we had a fun day! We started with breakfast at McDonald's, played some frisbee, walked on the Riverwalk trail, ate at Firehouse pizza, and watched an action-packed James Bond movie. Of course, there were presents and Cherry Yum-Yum too!

I gave Danny a book (7 Habits of Highly Effective People)...

...and a new polo shirt (which I somehow missed taking a picture of).

Cherry Yum-Yum!

So, we didn't want to buy a 2nd box of candles (packs come in 24), Danny suggested we do a set of 2 candles (left) and a set of 5 (right). turned out pretty good!

Making a wish.

Overall, I think Danny had a fun birthday and still hasn't admitted he's 25 :) Happy Birthday!

Lastly, we're letting y'all know that we're moving to Twin Falls for the summer. Danny has been given this great internship opportunity at Glanbia in Twin Falls and will be helping them open a brand new cheese research facility. He'll be doing exactly what he wants to do when he's done with school. We're going to be moving around mid-May, which means our baby will be an Idaho girl. We're still in the process of finding a place to live in Twin, as well as a doctor for us to use up there. So if anyone knows of any doctors or places to live, we'd love some references :) Anyway, other than that, life is going well and I will be done with school in one more month! :)
