23... it's the way to be!!!

So today was my lovely 23rd birthday!

Yesterday I was able to kind of celebrate with a precious cake from my lovely friend and some girl time! I made my second batch of french bread in the bread maker I got for christmas that I am SO thankful for (Thank you my precious In-Laws)! It was a lovely evening to begin the birthday celebration and Lucas had finished up the first section of this semester too so he was off the hook with studying!

(Darling cake from Becca! It was Strawberry, from Johnnies which is THE Best)

I had a fabulous day today and luckily Lucas only had class from 8-10... which he slept through, so even better! The morning started out nice, Luke made "eggo" waffles with peanut butter and syrup (which is my FAVE)! We finished off the waffles, peanut butter and syrup if that tells you something! I opened my gift from the hubs which were some amazing shoes I've been dreaming about and of course I wore them today... only to mess up my fresh pedicure I had this morning!

We spent a good 30 minutes at the post office which was just lovely, thats all I have to say about that...

Mr. Smile kept asking me what I wanted to do for my birthday and I swear all I wanted to do was get him some new jeans! He deserves them by all means and REALLY needed a new pair that didn't have holes in them! Sooo, of course I just had to get a few things on sale at Target too and came out like bandits buying multiple outfits for the price of ONE pair of jeans from the mall! (Luke looks super handsome in his new jeans :) such a cutie pie)!

Dinner was amazing with my sweet family at RedRock Canyon Grill, we got to see the sunset and at the worlds best ribs! Then the day came to a fabulous end by eating my favorite sugar cookie cake with strawberry icing and strawberry cupcakes! This sweet treat however was slightly tainted... in the back of my mind I couldn't help but feel slightly guilty due to my AMAZING new membership to the OU HSC gym from my parents so I can go work out with the Hubs! I feel so blessed to be making such lovely memories!

We also saw a double rainbow on our way to dinner... and I blew out all my candles (meaning just one lonesome candle) at the same time... I think I am off to a very lucky, loving and lively year!

(I blew my candle out in one breath... it was a tough one ha ha ha)

(And the evening ended with our sweet Winnie, snugged with her new favorite "Giggling Toy")
