on top of the world (or just Utah)

We had such a great weekend, spending lots of time with family!

We went up to Logan to watch my brother and aunt run the top of Utah marathon!

 What a stud!

 We enjoyed spending time together as we waited for the runners.

 Even when it was freezing and windy. Thank you, Kevin for being my wind breaker.

 We are a tad bit narcissistic, and we love each other and ourselves.

 We had a regional conference today with Elder Dallin H. Oaks presiding! What a great meeting. 

 Then it was time for the birthday dinner at grandma's! Kevin was slightly enamored with their beautiful plates.

 My aunt Terri brought stuff to make jewelry and we had a grand old time stringing beads.

 All I could really manage was a pair of earrings.

 And Kevin made me a Halloween bracelet. 

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the birthday card. ;)

I love spending time with my family and the fact that Kevin fits right in just puts icing on the cake. I have the best possible situation in terms of Kevin joining our family, and I am so excited to join his. I am so lucky and so blessed!

special

Today was just a regular Wednesday. I woke up super early, went to work, went to class, went to the gym, went to class again, stressed out about homework and hung out.

And I also turned 21.
And my fiance made me a special breakfast.
And my co workers brought me cupcakes.
And let me choose the music that we listened to at work (showtunes).
And I get a Tucanos gift card (oh snap!).
And my sweetheart wrote me a birthday letter.
And we had Cafe Rio for dinner.
And then my sweet Kevin surprised me with homemade crock pot chocolate cake
And a BYU hoodie (which is all that I really wanted).
And the Sound of Music on DVD.

Kevin made it very clear that he wanted me to feel so special today. And I tried to communicate to him that not only did he make me feel special today on my birthday, but he makes me feel special every day. I know that I'm special to him, so I always feel special.

Dang I am a lucky girl.

the face of twenty

Happy Birthday to me! Yeah baby! Look who's no longer a teenager!
