A few weeks ago marked Sam’s 28th birthday. There is only one month out of the year where Sam is 3 years older than me….and I milk it for all its worth! And yes. These photos are long overdue…but ahh, better late than never. In honor of “Movember” and Sam’s respectable stache….I went with the ever played out “mustache theme” for his party. But really, who doesn’t like a good mustache right?
Needless to say, I went big. I bought him a motorcycle! Well, not just me, I had the help from a bunch of our closest friends. You see, Sam NEVER buys anything for himself. It’s almost pulling teeth with him to get him to buy something. I actually love him for that, because I have quite opposite tendencies! He’s super generous and finds joy in giving over receiving. I hope I can be just like him when I grow up! haha. No, but really. I KNEW he would never actually go through with buying a motorcycle even though day after day I found him scouring craigslist for a good deal. SOOOO I decided a motorcycle surprise party was in order! I wrote all our friends and set up a paypal where everyone could donate to the “fund”…and little by little, I raised enough money to make the purchase. I felt a bit scummy at first for asking for donations to help my husband get a “dangerous toy”….but after I emailed everyone and realized how excited everyone was to pitch in on the surprise…I felt good about it and knew how much it would mean to Sam know that it was not just a gift from me….but from ALL OF US! Thanks to all of our amazing friends. I am still waiting to see Sam shed his first tear in front of me but I think this night he was close!

Cutest little man in my life: my nephew, Bruce. (fitting name for a bad ass biker, wouldn’t you say!?)
woops…stache slip. This is my family. I love them a lot.
And this is Mark. I love him too.
