|{ Playing Catch Up }|

So let's see. Jon is still working in lab and is crazy busy!! He is still there every single day and even does work most of the time when he comes home! It is going well though! He has 2 papers published and he is first author on both! He is also about to submit I think 3 more. He went to the American Burn Association Conference in California where he gave 2 presentations and he also got the student award for Outstanding Research!

He did decide to do a second year of research and will start his 3rd year of medical school in 2014!

I've been working, still doing massage. I left my last job at Massage By Sandy & Company when my boss was no longer able to pay me on a regular basis and I started working at Bellanina Day Spa! It's right in downtown Ann Arbor and I LOVE IT!! It's a wonderful place with great coworkers/boss and good clients too (who also tip well!) Oh, and Darren Criss (plays Blain on Glee) was my client one day...yes he was!! It was the most exciting thing ever!!

And that has pretty much been our lives the last few months, not too much to talk about. Just working working working all the time!

|{ My Man Turns 28 }|

Wow, have I really not posted anything since the beginning of February? Maybe I can try to get back into the swing of things and play a little catch up!

First off, yesterday was Jonathan's birthday! He turned 28!! It worked out perfectly because Tuesday just happens to be my day off and he took the day off of lab so we got to spend the entire day together! Jon had the whole day planned out (which saved me from doing it, so that was nice. Birthday always make me panic.).

A few days before we went out to dinner with our awesome friends, Jawad and Jacob, for a birthday dinner at the Green Dot and had sliders! So fun and yummy!! Then we went and saw The Great Gatsby! We always love hanging out with those two, best people ever!! :)

So on the day of his birthday we set our alarm to get up in the morning, hit the snooze, and cuddled/slept for a bit longer (yes, even the snooze part was part of his planned day). Then we opened presents.  I got him all the current seasons of Community, a box of his favorite cereal (that he never buys because it's too expensive), and a 'Greendale Delta Cubes' T-shirt! Once we were up and dressed and ready to go we went to Angelo's for breakfast! We ALWAYS go to Angelo's on our birthdays...and we always get the same thing. Haha. It was as delicious as ever!

Then we went and did some shopping! Jon got some new clothes and we went over to the Salvation Army and got a few more things (I even got a few baby things!). It was pretty fun, I love shopping with Jon, he's a great shopping buddy. Then we went to Bubble Island to get bubble tea and then I took him to my work where I gave him an exfoliating back treatment.  The boy LOVES to get his back scratched, so I knew he would love it, plus he finally got to see inside where I work!

After that we got some lunch at Great Plains Burger Company and then headed out to finish the garden. This was what Jon was most excited for and he just loved it! We finally finished it and started to plant some things in it! Next week we'll be able to put in our seedlings! It looks great! He did an amazing job!  For dinner he wanted me to make him chicken pillows and we also had carrot cake while we watched Arrested Development (where trying to watch them all again before the new season comes out).

It was a great day and he just loved it! He's my favorite person in the world! It was even worth it to get the mosquito bites while in the garden.
