Happy 21 to me!!

This picture doesn't really have anything to do with my 21st birthday, but I still thought it was cute so I thought I'd share. We were able to attend Michael's cousin's wedding at the Provo Temple on July 31, 2010. It was beautiful!

My Birthday: August 3, 2010
So...I thought that by turning 21 I would feel really old,
but all I've really felt is really really blessed.
I really don't think I could ask for a better life.
I have the BEST family in the whole world,
A future that holds so many new and exciting opportunities.
AND
the most amazing husband. I don't think I could have dreamed up a better man.

While Michael was at work...(yes I skipped out, I couldn't resist the opportunity to sleep in) I was able to walk around the Thanksgiving Point gardens with my grandma. While we were walking her flip flop broke haha so she pretty much wobbled the whole way back! I'm glad I got to spend some time with her laughing and talking. I really do have an amazing grandma.

Michael baked me a cake. I think it was his first one in case you already didn't notice:) But it tasted wonderful and I was still quite impressed with the look of it because my first cake was pretty much a pile of cake and frosting mixed together.

Me with my cake!

This is the cute watch I got for my birthday! I absolutely love it! You can actually take off the watch and switch it over to other bands. I ordered one more band but it hasn't come yet.
Michael was also kind enough to buy me New Moon. I can't really get over how generous he is. (We all know he just used my birthday as an excuse to buy it since he has wanted it for so long:))
He also bought me chocolate covered cinnamon bears and then gave me 21 dollars which will be spent on Olivia of course!
And last but not least...a camera! But I haven't picked it out yet. I can't decide what kind to get.

I have no picture but we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. It was my first time. No I didn't ride the saddle because I made Michael promise me that he would not tell anyone it was my birthday. In fact I was so serious about this not being shared, I was practically in tears begging him not to.

This was our drink in celebration of me becoming of age to legally drink. Of course sparkling cider is about as close as i'll get!

To finish off a perfect birthday, we laid a blanket in the back yard and played board games.
And then we cuddled. Which is probably my most favorite thing to do with him!

****Just a little extra story I thought would be important to remember. Again, it has nothing to do with my birthday. But it still made my day to know that even though I find my self saying dumb things more than once a day, even my boy has his moments!

We were driving home from work and it was obvious that it was about to rain. Well as we were driving down the freeway we started to hear little things hit our car. Well my boy, bless his heart went on to say, "why are we getting hit with so many rocks?" haha...and I of course replied..."love, it's hailing."
