Todd's turned 29 yesterday on the 11th. We both can't even believe that we are getting close to our 30's. We hate to even talk about it. Unfortunately, Todd was feeling sick yesterday so we didn't get to celebrate it like he would have liked to. But we did get some food to go and rented a movie. Today I made him and I a nice dinner and topped it off with his favorite dessert. It's an ice cream cake called "Cocoa Freeze Mint." The recipe is from his wonderful Grandma Christensen and we will carry on her recipe for many years.
This is only a small portion of the 13 by 9 pan I made up. He will be eating this dessert for the next two weeks. Trust me, he wouldn't have it any other way, he loves this dessert and so do I.
Todd and I taking a self portrait like we always do since it's just the two of us.... and Scout of course.
Todd doing his studies at our kitchen table. He is so smart he amazes me. He is always teaching me new info he has just learned and it's usually way over my head but I still listen and try to understand.
We are very lucky to have the Columbus, Ohio temple in the same parking lot as our church. Today the weather and skies were perfect so I had to get some pictures of the temple. I have yet to go through there with Todd to do some work.
Just one of many shots of the amazing trees changing around here in Columbus.
These next two shots were taken from the window of the 12th floor of my new job. We have such an amazing view of the city I had to get a few pictures. The day I took these it was slightly foggy so it's hard to see all the vibrant colors.
