better late than never

Scott had is 28th birthday on June 22nd. We're a little late posting about it, but oh well! We had a ton of fun on Scott's birthday this year. Which is good because Scott always hates his birthdays. He tries so hard to not make them a big deal. So I try even harder to make them a big deal! On Saturday, June 21st, we went cliff diving with Scott's bud from college and his wife and a few other people. It was so fun! We had to hike a short distance to get there, which felt longer in the heat. When we got there it was just a narrow river surrounded by cliffs. We had a lot of fun. When we got home, we went to In-n-Out for dinner, and then to see the Incredible Hulk. Just what Scott wanted to do. Sunday, his actual birthday, I made him breakfast in bed. He opened all his presents and then we went to church. When we got home he took a long nap, and then we had a wonderful rib eye dinner. Some of our friends came over for cake and ice cream later that night. He told me it was a great birthday, nice and relaxing. Woo Hoo! It was a success! Happy Birthday Baby, I sure love you!

our story

Jetti was working at Rafaels when she first served Scott's parents. They hit it off instantly, and so his mom decided to ask if Jetti had a boy friend. Jetti replied, "Sort of, he's on his mission right now, but I am dating other guys." As soon as that was said Scott's mom whipped out photos of her single boys. The first time Scott and Jetti actually saw each other was when Jetti served the entire Andrewsen family. This was for Scott's parents birthdays in October. Over the next few months Jetti and Scott occasionally worked together at the restaurant when Scott picked up some shifts. One night when they were working together in late January, Scott decided that they were going to hang out that night after work. Jetti informed Scott that she already had plans with some of her girl friends. Scott was persistent, played that they'd already agreed on plans and that she was breaking them, and even went as far as calling the girls to cancel the other plans. That didn't work. The girls showed up to the restaurant as it was closing, as planned. Scott headed home, and Jetti and her friends couldn't think of anything to do. So they too were just going to head home. As Jetti was driving home, she decided to take Scott up on his offer. She called back to the restaurant and got Scott's phone number from the manager. She called him, and she and the girls went and hung out at with him and his brother. They set up an official date for the next week, and after that they were inseparable.
