A Very Terri Birthday!

A few days ago(on the 7th) Terri celebrated her 24th birthday. The real party didn't begin till later in the day because Terri was 5 days into a new job so she had to work and was therefore robbed of sleeping in and eating a late breakfast in bed, which every birthday girl should get to do.



Several of Terri's secret admirers used this special day as a opportunity to try and win her favor, but unfortunately for Wade,




and Clyde,


she is spoken for....right sweetheart?!



When it was time to get down to it, however, Terri was ready to employ her birthday powers. After an intense 17 holes of miniature golf Terri, Connie, Brandon and I came into the 18th hole with a three way tie for first.




The final hole, which is like unto a rigged county fair game, awards a free game and a single stroke instead of two for a hole-in-one and looked something like this...




With a shot that even Tiger Woods would have marveled at, Terri chipped her ball through an opening in the metal screen, bounced it off a wall and landed it right in the hole for a free game and won the entire event by one stroke!



After the climatic finish of the Terri Clause Invitational, our good friends Bianca and Greg invited us up to a chilly, but romantic chair lift ride at Sundance. Ben and Meg joined us for the adventure and before we knew it we were all squished together trying to pretend we weren't scared of heights :)


I hope you had a happy birthday sweetheart. Every birthday you have marks another year that I got to spend with you, and I can't wait until you have been a part of my life for more time than you haven't(19 years to go!). Now that I found you I don't know what I would do without you, and I hope I never do.

Happy birthday Terri! And just as a heads up Sam, Clyde is pretty serious about his love for Terri. We were talking about how he's going to marry a girl when he grows up and he said, "Terri!"
Don't worry, then he said you could marry Will :)

Happy Birthday Terri! You know, one of the very first memories I have of moving to California is that you invited me to your birthday party even though I'd only been in the ward a few days. That meant more to me at the time than I think you knew. I hope your birthday was a great one!!
