balloon wall.

my hubby turned 28 this past wednesday.  i surprised him with a wall of balloons from the garage into the kitchen.  i think he felt like a kid again!

the process was simple.  i've been really stressed with work this week so i had A LOT of hot air in me.  i used that to blow up the 15 balloons.  then i braved new heights and hung the balloons at varying heights from the ceiling with yarn while standing on our kitchen chairs.  you might not know this about me, but i get a little dizzy with heights.

i did a couple checks from the perspective of the garage to make sure it looked full, and then patiently waited for him to come home so i could video tape his entrance.  have you ever noticed that when you're waiting for something, time creeps by?  watch this video for instance, i started filming from the time his car pulled into the garage.  i should also note, its incredibly awkward.  but who doesn't love awkward?  its charming.

see, i wasn't lying about awkward.  ryan thought i was taking a photo so he's posing.  and my voice!  ahhhh, i hope i don't really sound like that!  and the whispering...kinda creepy.
