To Celebrate Twenty Eight

Brian is still deployed and it's his 28th birthday today...

Normally, to celebrate his life, I would have planned an adventure for him but it's a little hard to do that when you're thousands of miles apart and one of you isn't allowed to leave the base you're stationed on. So this year I bought him what he asked for, two custom tailored suits and a subscription to the Dollar Shave Club, along with the promise for a couple dates out on the town to wear said suits when he returns home. 

I have a hard time accepting the idea of Brian only getting gifts for his birthday so I decided to make a list of 28 new [and hopefully amazing] adventures to go on in the upcoming months to celebrate his birth throughout the year entire.

1. Hike to South Fork Falls
