Jo's birthday and new house!
Aug. 26th, 2020 04:41 pmYesterday was Jo's birthday, so me, mom, Ryan and a friend of theirs took him to dinner, and then went back to his apartment (where a couple other friends stopped by) and had cake and opened presents..it was fun, they have a good sense of humor haha. We also went to dinner because...they finally closed on the new house today!! They've been busy packing, because they want to get the other house on the market before winter hits. Mom and I at least are very sad about leaving such a beautiful area, but it's just too much work for my parents now. I'm sure the new house will have its perks lol. It's funny..right before moving into my apartment in 2010, dad painted my room and put some glacier pics on the walls..and we've never had the heart to take them down until now haha. We'll do a lot of the moving this weekend (we hired a bunch of strong guys to help us haha), and hopefully I'll get some pics soon!

Ryan and Jo bantering haha..Ryan was torturing him by making him wait until after they ate the cake to open presents :P

Cutting the cake! (Which Ryan made, of course :P)

It was some kind of almond cake, since Jo is on a special diet because he has an ulcer. It was pretty good, especially the whipped cream :P

Jo and Ryan with Sid! Yeah, Ryan hates having his picture taken haha
