Brad's 24th Birthday

Brad's birthday was on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so we had a nice long weekend to celebrate him. He had school off that Monday, and i decided to take it off work so we could spend the whole day together. It was perfect.   

We started partying on Saturday night. We went to Westminister's mens basketball game with Marty and Keri, and Tim. Our good friend Brad Brown plays on the team, so we mostly went to watch him. It was so fun being there, and visiting with Dani. We love them. Brad and Tim were a little crazy during the game, and making us all laugh. Good times. 

Funny story: So we got to the game a little early, and the women's basketball game was still going. When we walked in, i saw someone with the gatorade and it made me really want one. I told Brad and Tim i wanted a gatorade, and Tim said he would buy me one under one condition. I had to go get all of the autographs of the girls on the girls basketball team when their game was over. I tried to make it so someone could come with me, so i didn't feel so dumb....but no, i had to go all by myself. I wasn't gonna do it, but then i sat there still thirsty for my gatorade. Finally, i just walked up and did it all by myself. I felt pretty close to a loser asking all of these GIRLS for  their autograph. So i did it, and gave it to Tim...and i got my yummy gatorade. Brad and Tim were laughing at me the whole time, but they were pretty proud that i actually did it. :)

After the game with Brad and Dani

Sunday we had a big family dinner at Marty and Keri's, with Grandma and Grandpa Curtis there too. It was so yummy! Later that night, Brad and Dani were so sweet to come back over and have cake and ice cream with us. We were spoiled to be able to hang out with them 2 nights in a row. :)

Blowing out his candles....

A little later that night Judd Tidwell, and his wife Alli came over too! We love and miss those two, so it was good to visit with them for a while. 

I am a little upset about my pictures on Monday...his actual birthday. Some time ago, Brad was looking at them and deleted them all. So these last few of his fun day will have to do justice. After we ate dinner at Tucano's, we went to my parents and finished off his vanilla cake with them. We lit 24 candles on two slices of cake.

 'cheers' for another year. 

I'm so glad we had a whole weekend to celebrate Bradley. He works so hard, and is so dedicated to everything he does. I couldn't love him anymore!
