Happy 25th Birthday Clint Rouse!

Happy Birthday to my best friend, my life companion, my husband CLINT ROUSE!

We celebrated Clint's 25th Birthday by both taking off work on January 14th and resting ALL day!  Then some of Clint's closest friends came for cupcakes (side note: I cannot bake a cake..) and a bon fire!  Then on his actual Birthday we went out to dinner at The Peddler's Steak House.  This is Clint's favorite "date spot" he has taken me, so what better place to celebrate!  It is delicious!  There is a literal Peddler that comes to your table and allows you to pick out which steak you would like, then he cooks it, and it is delicious!! We enjoyed the prime rib and the N.Y. Strip!

Then Clint opened his presents!  He has been wanting Duck Wadders for years, and that is what he received!  He wanted to sleep in them he was so excited!  Reynolds is very excited to Duck Hunt with Clint!
