We celebrated Shane's birthday last weekend. Had so much fun hanging out with family. We went to Tepanyaki with Shane's family on Friday night. I seriously can't remember the last time we went out with them. So glad we did. Had a blast laughing at all the craziness of the meal (fires, onion volcanoes, shrimp catches). I tried all weekend to attempt to make homemade ice cream with my cute new Cusinart ice cream maker just for Shaner. Bad news--it was kind of hard :( From having to freeze the bowl, to preparing the "custard" (separating eggs, boiling everything on low for 30 minutes, the $5 cream), to figuring out an accurate consistency--WOW! Made me really grateful for those hard working guys at Ben and Jerry's. For $3 you can save yourself quite a bit of headache. Thank heaven Smith's had some great ice cream deals this week. It completely bailed me out!
Thanks to all our friends and family for their support of Shane. It is nice to have birthdays to celebrate people. It made me reflect on all the reasons I love my Shaner and why I think he is just fab. This last couple of years he has just worked so hard at work. I guess being in HR and doing employment, sincere engagement in what you do just inspires me. This last year he has won the Officer of the Year for West Valley City, placed first place in a building search in a local K-9 competition, and started teaching at the Police Academy as an adjunct professor. He truly loves what he does, and it really defines who he is. He has also been so wonderful with Mack. What would I do without him?! Our schedules sometimes get hectic and crazy, but I know I can always count on him to be there for Mack, clean our house and take care of our yard. I am so blessed! Love ya hon!
