It was Jason’s birthday on Tues. Feb. 10. He said he wanted a low-key day so I tried to keep it semi- low-key. I gave him some new gloves since he lost his other pair during finals week and a new shirt that we’ll probably return to the store. We ate dinner at his brother Steve’s house and almost everyone came over for dinner. We had a delicious dinner from Mom B. and Sally with pasta, salad, and bread. Since Jason doesn’t really like cake, we had Puppy Chow (kind of like Muddy Buddies) for dessert. Jason’s parents gave him the game “Ticket to Ride” which he liked. My favorite birthday present to give him was a new memory foam pillow. I replaced his old pillow with the new one during the day so he didn’t find it until he went to bed. He was happily surprised.
He also got calls from several of his brothers and both of my brothers. Emily and Mike Rogers left a really cute happy birthday song on his phone.Friday I babysat Sally and Jeff’s three kids while Jason took his test and played basketball. I left my cell phone on the kitchen table. One of the kids slid my phone across the counter and on to the floor that apparently broke it, because I could never receive anymore calls after that. I took it into the Sprint store on Saturday and they couldn’t fix it so they gave me a new phone for $35. It was kind of a sad experience, but I’m glad it got taken care of quickly.
Jason was good about making Valentine’s Day special. He bought me red roses and we ate a heart-shaped Papa Murphy’s
pizza for dinner at the Tanner Building on campus. He brought my laptop and played music from when we were dating that brought back good memories. We played a lot of “Remember when . . .” Afterwards we stopped by our Stake Valentine’s Dance and danced for a little while. I went to the grocery store that day and bought him a Maple Bar doughnut, which is one of his all time favorite treats.
