Merril's 41st birthday!

After our trip to Japan, our whole family fell in love with Japanese toilets. The seats were warm and had so many features that are awesome. As Merril's birthday approached, I was talking about it with my neighbor, whose husband is a plumber. She told me she bought a Toto washlet but that it didn't work out for them and so she still had it at her house. I decided to buy it from her and install it so that I can give it to Merril for his birthday. He's always talked about the Japanese toilets and how nice they were. It took a trip to Japan to convince me.


He was gone to Mexico on a motorcycling trip and so it gave me the perfect window of opportunity to install it without him knowing! He came home late at night to a warm toilet seat.





Merril went with Ryan and Owen.


They took a boat ride out to the arch of Cabo San Lucas, or the El Arco.








On his actual birthday, we had cheesecake and dinner together as a family.




Update: it was Easter weekend and spring recess for Merril birthday weekend. We decided to have a get-together with Friends the following Friday night. Merril invited people via text and then we both completely forgot about it! I made dinner on Friday, we ate together as a family, Merril went to the bathroom, came out at 6:23 p.m. and said, "We are supposed to be eating dinner at Cappelettis at 6:30!" We had forgotten to make reservations and they were totally booked. I had to take Jack to a movie theater that I had previously promised him and Merril took off into St George, calling friends quickly.  

We ended up at Viva Chicken and had a great time, even though we didn't actually eat. We all laughed about it and thought it was hilarious that Merril threw his own surprise 41st birthday party! I was so frazzled I didn't snap a single picture.
