Birthday Weekend!

Well Sportanfans, I am 24. Officially an old maid. It was a wonderful weekend! Yes I celebrate all weekend. So be prepared for a lot of pictures and pointless details.

Friday was my actual birthday. Being the responsible adult that I am, I spent the day at work. We have late start Fridays so the student don't come until 10 and the teachers have time to meet together. When I first got there, my team took me out to McDonald's to celebrate. I came back and my department had bagels and cake for me! I was incredibly lucky and incredibly full. My team and I also had in-n-out for lunch. I love my co-workers. Pretty sure they are trying to make me fat though.

My kiddies were extra nice to me. I got sung to in almost every period and got tons of little presents and cards and flowers and treats and of course, diet coke. I love my little guys. Can't believe I have to say goodbye to them in a couple weeks.

That evening, Nathan and I went to the temple. I can't think of a better place to spend my birthday.

Saturday was the day we decided we would celebrate. Nathan goes all out for birthdays and I love it. I got breakfast in bed, then came out to a completely decorated apartment and a pile of presents! Don't be jealous of how pretty I look in these pictures.

So let me just get a little bit mushy on ya here, because my husband is seriously the bomb. He listens to all the passing comments I make and puts so much thought into my gifts. A few months ago I mentioned how I really want matte grey nail polish and then just a few weeks ago I told him how OPI was my favorite nail polish brand. So what was my first present? Matte grey OPI nail polish! He got me yellow jeans from when we saw a girl who was wearing them and I said I liked them. He got me a soccer ball because I mentioned how I want to start playing again now that the weather is warm and a mini planter to hang on our balcony because I told him I wanted a yard to plan flowers in. Seriously, Nathan is so sweet and thoughtful. I could just smash his face in!!!!

Anyways, the big surprise came when I opened a small present with a little piece of paper that said we were heading to the Apple store to get my new iPhone 4s. I literally yelled and threw the paper at him. I was so freaking excited!! I've had the iPhone 3s forever and thanks to it's suicidal dive into a cup of water, it's worked like crap for a long time. This was the first picture I took with my new phone. I was a tiny bit excited.

We spent the afternoon at Liberty Park with some Del Taco and entertainment provided by some weirdos at the park dressed up and fighting with fake swords. The weather was perfect. Winter always makes me forget how amazing Spring and Summer in Utah are.

When we got home I got to plan my flowers that I picked out earlier in the day. I was so excited! I may have spilt fertilizer all over our balcony. I think it turned out pretty cute. I can't wait to have a real garden some day.

The night ended with some relaxing and movie watching and of course, cheesecake. It was a perfect day. I am a lucky, lucky lady. Also, I am 24.
