Bjorn had one of the best kind of birthday celebrations- a four day event! Last year his special day was sort of overlooked in all the wedding planning madness, so I was eager to give him the birthday he deserves this year. Thursday in between my night shifts he opened his presents (thanks parents!) and Friday I made one-of-a-kind cake and we went out to dinner. While at dinner, all our Utah County "family" (steph, mick, erin, alex, kc, maren, chris) drove up to SLC and snuck into our house. Bjorn had an idea something was up- but was genuinely surprised at the people and balloons that greeted him as we walked inside.
Here is some photographic evidence of our unique cake and fun familia party.

All in one breath!
Heavenly Father decided to give Bjorn a great big birthday gift this year: a new calling! Bjorn is now the Elders Quorum President in our ward. We were both a pretty surprised at this. We're only 25! Bjorn is humbled and excited to serve, I'm delighted to have more excuses to organize more folders, binders, lists, papers, and meetings for him :)
