Happy 25th Kev!

We still can't believe he's 25. Time goes by way too fast. When we got married he was 22! We had the entire weekend to celebrate his right of passage into his 25th year of life.

On Kevin's actual birthday, Friday, he had his last 2 finals (poor guy, can't catch a break). He says that his 2nd year of Dental School is finally starting to hit him. The 2nd year is the hardest because he starts his head and neck anatomy in the Health Science Campus. But he was happy to be done with the summer semester's midterms on his birthday, and to celebrate that night I made a brazilian (brigadeiro) cake for him. We also had our friend Rob from Dental School and Church come over to dinner and play Halo. And that gave way to our "guy weekend."

On Saturday morning we rode our bikes to the dog park and let Snowy run around with other dogs for a couple of hours while we hung out on the sun. After that we headed to Santa Monica to go the beach, and the weather was perfect! Hot enough to want to lay out, but not too hot that you sweat all over the place. We had lunch at the beach, stayed for a couple of hours and then headead home to shower and go to the mall. To finish Kevin's "guy weekend" he chose to dine at The Counter , a custom burger restaurant that he had been eyeing for a while. It was actually really good! I tried the vegetarian-vegan burger (it was juicy, which surprised me!) and Kevin had a 2/3 lb beef patty. Yeah, it was HUGE. It was pricey but definitely worth the try. After being stuffed and barely being able to walk we choose to watch the "guy-est" movie out: World War Z. We loved it and want to watch it again (we're big fans of The Walking Dead too).

To finish Kevin's special weekend the Primary kids at Church sang him a birthday song, we had lunch with a friend of his that was visiting from Utah, and at night we had our close friends (the Masons) come over and have a burrito/ taco bar and play games. For the first time in months we went to bed after midnight, and it felt so good.

I don't know how we are going to top this next year but I'm so happy and bleesed to celebrate each of Kevin's birthdays by his side!
