This may be kind of long since I never get around to this thing!!
Yesterday I celebrated my 26th birthday and it's hard to believe how fast the years have gone by!! I don't look really look like I am 26, in fact I probably look about 16 going on 17. But I was very impressed yesterday when a random person guessed how old I was turning and he said 22!! I was pretty excited that I might actually look not like a teenager!! it was a wonderful birthday and I was glad to get to spend the whole day with Steve. We started out the morning watching my niece Skyler play at her soccer game, followed by lunch with the family at Paradise Bakery (one of my favorite places to eat!). After lunch Steve and I along with the ladies of the family (minus Jamilyn) went to the mall so they could all buy me gifts. It was kind of stressful being followed by 5 people trying to find things I liked, but the trip was successful and am happy with the what we found!! Thanks fam!! After shopping Steve and I headed back home and I took a birthday nap. When I woke up we decided to go take a stroll through the canyon. It was such a beautiful day and the weather was perfect, it was wonderful just to be out enjoying nature. We went to Jamba afterwards where I finally ordered one of their secret (well secret to me, i guess) flavors pink starburst, i highly recommend it! Evening activities included getting beat by steve at putt putt, getting beat by steve at hoop dreamz (whatever it's called) and finally beating steve at skee ball. Ending the Trafalga experience on a good note!! Afterwards we went over to Brandon and Stacie's and played Dr. Mario on the Wii into the wee hours of the night. I have decided we should invest in a Wii to have at our place, Dr. Mario is becoming somewhat of an addiction for me, I just can't stop playing!
My birthday allowed me to think about all the years that have come before this one and how lucky I feel to be where I'm at today with such a wonderful husband, great family and awesome friends! I am so blessed to have everything I do and so happy with the life I have. I hope to make this year of my life better than all the rest and continue to do that with every year after!
Quick Update on Steve and I:
Steve is finally done with the semester (besides one paper)!! But of course keeping himself busy with work, side projects and working on things around the house he previously didn't have time to get to. It is so nice for him to be able to get a break from school and so nice for me to see him get to relax for a moment! He works so hard and I am so proud of all he does.
I am literally counting down the days for work to be done (26.5 days!!) Getting a little anxious/excited/nervous about going back to school! Stoked about our seven peaks passes and getting to play this summer with family and friends! and especially looking forward to our trip to DC (maybe NYC) in July! oh and of course ecstatic about two of my best friends coming to visit this summer, Betsy and Ester!!!! woo hooo!!
