31 Things I love About Shawn

I am a little behind in posting for Shawn's 31st Birthday. He turned 31 last Friday, May 1st. In my opinion it wasn't as great as it could've been. I had to work late on his birthday and go back to work on Saturday morning to finish our Month End closing. And I was stressed out about my final papers for my class, but Shawn claims that he had a wonderful birthday and I am glad.

Shawn's birthday was a weekend long extravaganza. It started Friday morning when I surprised him by decorating the downstairs and serving Orange Rolls for breakfast courtesy of Philsbury. Friday night my parents, John & Adam came over and had Papa John's Pizza with us and we watched a classic, Pirates of the Caribbean. Saturday afternoon we had some friends over for cake and ice cream and Sunday we had the entire BullenNosekWarrenYoung family over for more cake and ice cream. I thought it would be funny to use trick candles for Shawn's cake...well 31 candles that don't burn out right away is not REALLY a good idea. The cake looked like it was on fire when all the candles were lit. The chocolate on the cake started to melt and the kitched started to fill with smoke. I guess Shawn is too old for that many trick candles.






I wanted to do something differentfor Shawn's birthday tribute and list 31 one things I love about him.

Ok Monica - I had to totally chuckle at #26 - he "kind of" struts when he walks. Guess he's still the same old Shawn :)

Shawn - I hope you had a great birthday!
