The big 26!


The past few years Adam has been able to spend his birthday in different states, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Nevada, somewhere around Arkansas and this year and got a variety--Maryland to Virginia...to Washington DC. It was pretty fun, we started the day by sleeping in...because he didn't get home until probably like 2 am from work...and then we went and met up with my brother in law who is in the FBI and had lunch with him and then he took us on a tour at the FBI headquarters, and it was so much fun...and interesting. We saw their classrooms, where they learn to fight, the shooting range, a little town they have to practice real life situations called Hogan's alley, and it was actually really creepy and going through some of the apartments and hotels and stuff because they are the really ghetto ones so just even imagining being in a place like that fighting crime...well imagining your husband there is really scary. Good thing the FBI is really experienced, they have been around for almost 100 years and have had less than 50 people die from being on the job, and a good portion of them were back around the days of the big time mafia. Hearing a lot of the training they go through and what they do makes me really respect what they do and what they go through. So anyways that was fun. And after that we went back to DC and tried to make it to the zoo before they closed...and we barley missed it--they were closing everything down by the time we got there so we were only able to see the cheetas...which they were pretty, so I guess that was good enough. Then we just went back to our place and had the infamous ice cream cake and watched one of his new presents and one of the Gooch's favs...Arrested Development. It was a fun birthday day!

I guess we only know one pose, but at least we managed to switch sides in one of them...

That sounds like a fun birthday! Wahoo! That's crazy that he's been all those places the past couple years! That was also crazy that they have like that ghetto neighborhood to train in--who would have thought! I don't think I could ever have my husband be an FBI agent--way too scary!
