Ben has been incredibly busy over this last month between starting his graduate program and the accounting recruiting season. He is either working on homework, preparing for tests & interviews, or attending free recruiting dinners (this last one we can't complain too much about). Needless to say he needed a good birthday to take a break.
I had this fabulous idea of making him a birthday breakfast in the morning, but breakfast has never really been my thing. I can make crepes. And scrambled eggs. And toast. I think that pretty much sums it up. On this particular day, I had the grand idea of making some bacon and an english muffin with egg, ham and cheese! Needless to say, it took me a few tries to get the egg right (with Ben's help, sadly), and I even burnt the toast AND the bacon. That being said, breakfast was a small disaster.
After breakfast I had work and then afterwards I took Ben straight to school. (Boring.)
While he was at school, I went and picked up his own customized Cold Stone Creamery ice cream cake!!! Yum! They are seriously fantastic, although a bit on the expensive side. I bought him his favorite, chocolate ice cream with marshmallows & peanut butter, devils food cake, a chocolate ganache frosting and crushed Snicker's topping. (Melt.)

He didn't get his cake until we had finished dinner at one of our favorite spots in Logan so far - Takara Sushi. We were so excited that Ben's cousins Andi & Amelia were able to join us! It was very delicious, even for me, who refuses to eat raw fish (can't handle the texture).
Ben is the best. I'm so grateful that I have him in my life! He has been such a blessing. He is always thoughtful of everyone and is loved by so many! Next year I plan to have a proper celebration for him, party hats and all! Love him dearly.
Side note: I have already started slacking on blogging more consistently but I am not giving up! I will be better! (I keep telling myself that.)
