Paul’s Birthday
For Paul’s birthday I put together a little surprise for him (thanks to Aubs for the ideas). First, I posted pictures of him as a little kid with a party hat on the streets all around his work (just to embarrass him a little bit.) Then I got some red yarn and made a trail that went from the front door of his work and led to a picnic at a nearby park. After I set it up I called him at lunch time and told him to go outside and follow the red line. Simple and sweet.

oh my gosh that is so adorable.
i wish my husbands birthday was tomorrow. but, i'll be doing this in august.
You inspire me Jordan!
That is super awesome. It's lucky you didn't get in trouble with the popo for running red string across the street, tho! (Pretty sure that would be illegal.) But who cares. Lovely idea and so fun to see those balloons from afar!
Um that picture, that SUIT! Over the top adorable.
what a sweet idea
This is the sweetest birthday gesture I've ever heard of. Love it!

the 23rd it'll be my BF bday and this is just a lovely inspiration!!!
(I featured this on my blog, with all appropriate credits…I hope!!!tell me if you want me to delete it)
Darling idea…love that you took the time to do this despite the fact that you are recovering from having a baby! Very inspiring. It's a great reminder to not let those little, important moments pass without recognition.
What a wonderful gesture!!
Ha! I really love this one Summerstone.
So adorable. Wish I thought of things like this. You inspire me!

I'm totally inspired. Will be referring to this in October for a birthday lunch for my husband.

Adorable. He's lucky to have you. And you did that just after having a baby. Impressive. I think I'd do even less in that state.
oh he was soooo cute….
Love.
This is such a sweet and simple celebration. I love it.
Jordan,
My sister told me about your blog. I knew you back when you were in YW. Your blog is so neat. I have enjoyed reading through it. You are amazing. I will definitely be a follower – my husband loves big birthday surprises, etc. and I can never think of anything great. Anyways! So fun to see what you are up to – and your baby is beautiful. – Liz
Great idea Jordan!

That is such a cute idea! I love it when women do romantic gestures for their man, it goes both ways right!
