Happy Birthday to....ME!

I'm 22! Such a big deal. I had a perfect birthday. If I had my way I would celebrate all month, David wasn't havin that so I had to settle for just the weekend before. Saturday we started the day with a VERY early temple session with my mom. It was great. We went to breakfast at Village Inn (side note, I love Village Inn. I could eat their breakfast for every meal of the day. We went to a little dive on Friday with David's family and I was craving some breakfast. I barely kept that meal down, it was terrible. Village Inn the next morning totally made up for it and started the weekend off right!) and then dropped David off before my mom and I went shopping. My mom had asked David what I was in need of and David came up with...new bras. Ok he has a point. I hate bra shopping so I refuse to go but really my husband talking to my mom about my bras? Am I the only one that finds that awkward? Yes? Ok well I do. She bought me a new cardigan and a gorgeous gaudy ring. Then we bought 4 new bras which BTW none of them look good so I'll be back where I started when I take them all back. She took me home and I took off to go to Kellee's baby shower. When I got home David was laying on the couch relaxing. He told me he had the whole night planned. He said I needed to look in the pantry, fridge, and freezer. When I looked this is what I found...All my favorites! He's the best. After threatening Stuart and Kateka we made dinner plans with them and took off for CPK. It was great. I wanted to see the new movie Going the Distance but I got the dates wrong and its not out yet..much to the boys relief. We went mini golfing instead. I haven't been mini golfing since I was like 9 maybe. It was incredible. Kateka and I made a bet with the boys that we could beat them in mini golf and when we did we would get to pick the movie that night. BIG mistake. Never bet against David in golf. He is an animal. A little out of control if you ask me. He won and Kateka and I tried to fight him saying it was our birthdays and that tromped everything but he wouldn't give. Come on right? We couldn't decide on a movie so we just watched YouTube videos all night. It was perfect. Alright, this picture. First of all its amazing. Second of all, we were posing with our golf clubs! David totally messed up this shot because my camera was dying and he was in a hurry. Now we just look like freaks.

Sunday we had my birthday dinner at Wendy's house. She asked what I wanted and I picked meatloaf. We got a little held up when Austin put the hot corn on the glass table outside and it got a little hot and shattered. "But its my BIRTHDAY" I yelled. No problem. The rolls had little shards of glass in them, I would have still eaten them. ;] No, Wendy threw them all away and Stef and I ran to the store to get some rolls from Wal-Mart. The rest of the dinner was fine so we ate outside and laughed. Favorite part of the dinner? The banana cream pie Wendy made for me. It was great!

Yesterday was the big day. I had switched shifts at work because someone took it off and so I worked the 5am. 5:05am my mom comes waltzing in my office. She's like "What are you doing here! I thought that was your car! I wanted you to come in and have your desk decorated!" She was so bummed that I was already there, however, that didn't stop her from decorating my desk around me. haha. Then Jocelyn brought cupcakes. They were delish. We ordered pizza for lunch since it was a special occasion (celebrating me). When I got back up from lunch Jocelyn was like "Here Liz, put these wristbands in your drawer." I didn't question it and I opened my drawer to fine a itunes gift card! Is she kidding? I've worked with her for 3 weeks. How adorable is that. I told her I already fail at her birthday, which is by the way is Oct 30. I don't know how I'm going to make her day as great as she made mine. I'll have to figure it out! When David got home from work he took me to sushi. Then I checked fbook to see that I had like 50 posts on my wall saying happy birthday. I felt so loved from all my pretend internet friends. haha But seriously between that and all the texts I got I realized I have seriously great friends. It was an amazing birthday and I only have 364 days til my next one!
