Birthdays

Today we celebrate not just one Birthday, but two! Jess turns 18 today, and Russ turns... just a little bit older than 18! Unfortunately, sometimes the job interferes with our fun, so we spent their Birthday driving to Spangdahlem, Germany, for an awards dinner. Not the best place to spend your special day, but it could always be worse. At least Russ got a fancy dinner out of it. Before you start feeling too bad for Jess (yes, I know that 18 is a very BIG Birthday), she not only got to go to a huge party the weekend before, but we have a special surprise in store for her. She has always wanted to go somewhere in particular, but we just haven't gotten around to going. So... before we leave our lovely Belgie... we are taking the princess to Rome, Italy. Not so mean now, are we? And if that weren't enough, we also got her this rocking Birthday cake. (and Russ shared it like the sweet Daddy he is.) Happy Birthday to my handsome hubby and gorgeous princess!
