Let's just say I was kinda disappointed a few days before my birthday because I didn't think my birthday would be very special. Bryce had a huge test the next Monday, I had a young women fundraiser all night Friday night and he had to study all day Saturday. I know it sounds really selfish, but I was kinda bummed. Doesn't the whole world stop on my birthday?!? haha.
Anyway, my husband is the best!!! A few weeks earlier I mentioned just in small conversation that I really wanted to go and see the new movie "The Vow" sometime. I think at the first of the week Bryce could tell I was a little bummed and so all week he said he had a big birthday surprise. If you know me and you know how much I love surprises then you will understand how quickly that changed my mood. Anyway, Friday Bryce's parents came up to Salt Lake to watch Kenny play soccer. Friday night we went to eat at Olive Garden and then I had to run to the fundraiser the rest of the night.
Saturday morning I woke up to an amazing breakfast made by my honey. I forgot to mention that Saturday morning I had to go to a leadership training meeting and Bryce was trying to get to the school so he could finish early. Anyway, with all the hustle and bustle I was trying to move a glass cup and Bryce was leaning over. Next thing I know he lifts his head up, his head hits my arm, the glass goes flying through the air, hits another bowl on the table, shatters, and I look up and my father-in-law is drenched in water. It was so funny, but so embarrassing. I think if we would have had a little more time we could have stopped to laugh about it, but we were in such a rush we didn't.
Anyway, the meeting was great. When I got home I had a letter from Bryce waiting for me on the bed and a treat from one of the sisters I visit teach. (She isn't supposed to give me gifts, it is supposed to be the other way around.) Needless to say, it was actually her birthday as well and I was on my way to take some no-bakes over to her. After delivering my little gift, Lindsey and I headed to Kathy's spa for some pedicures. It was so nice to get pampered and to spend some girl time together.
When Bryce finished studied, we went out to dinner and then he surprised me and took me to see "The Vow." We don't usually watch movies at the theaters. We usually just wait until they are out on Red Box, so this was a nice little surprise.
Sunday my mom and Brittanee came down to celebrate with us. My mom said not to worry about making dinner and instead she brought dinner with her. It was delicious and this giant birthday cookie was amazing!!!
We had dinner, opened presents and hung out for a few hours before it was time for them to leave again. Have I mentioned how much I love living close to my family??? It is so nice to be able to celebrate holidays and birthdays together again.
All my awesome presents! I have wanted a giant clock with our name on it since we got married. My mom found this beauty and I love it!!! You will have to ask Brittanee about the glass sometime :)
Overall it was an amazing birthday and I realized that I am very loved and blessed!!!
