Happy Birthday Jake!

October 6, 2008 by Michelle Hinckley |

If I could give you the perfect birthday present I would:

1. Accompany you to Home Depot and let you pick out the grill YOU wanted instead of the grill I wanted.

OR, BETTER YET…
2. I would arrange for you to take the day off from work and allow you to watch war movies all day long. I would bring a big steak burrito from Nicco’s and a Banana Cream pie from Marie Calendar’s. Then I would suprise you with a card that said you were officially off the hook from having to help me with “Operation Den-Makeover” next week.

OR, BETTER YET…
3. We would take a trip to Vegas and you could round up your friends, like Kurt Hanson (who if he wasn’t a guy you’d probably be married to), and you guys could go camping at Cathedral Gorge and reminisce about your high school days playing football. Then later that evening you and I would go eat at the Bellagio and I would peel all the shrimp and crack all the crab legs you could eat. I might even give you your first foot massage ever (I hope you don’t mind if I wear medical gloves).

OR, BETTER YET…

4. I would suprise you with plane tickets to Oregon and we would drive to the Hood River “The Gorge” and do some world class windsurfing all day until our arms felt like jello. Then we would have a romantic dinner by the river and I would even let you have a whole pint of Ben & Jerry’s Heath Bar Crunch to yourself without asking for as much as a taste.

Since I didn’t think of any these ideas early enough you’re going to have to settle for a homemade birthday party with the three of us who love you most. Happy Birthday Love! (P.S. I’m still going to need your help with “Operation Den-Makeover next week”).
