Quarter of a Century!

Yes it is true! I am now a quarter of a century old! How depressing!! Not really... actually I had a wonderful birthday! :)

Thursday night my two wonderful girl friends, Alex and Kelly, took me out to dinner at a romantic location and then to one of my favorite movies, Chocolat, which was playing at this adorable outdoor theater in Hillcrest. We had so much fun! Thanks you Hood RATS! :)



On Friday Ryan treated us all to lunch at Panera and then cupcakes from the best bakery around. The bakery is called Elizabethan Desserts. If you have not been there I would HIGHLY suggest giving it a try. Their Diggity Dang and Grasshopper cupcakes is heavenly!

When I got home from work Dustin had all my presents wrapped and set out under our Charlie Brown Christmas tree. Why were they under our Charlie Brown Christmas tree you might ask? Well, a few days before my birthday Dustin asked me if I wanted to open the present my mom had sent me. I said, "No, they all have to be wrapped and put under the Christmas tree and opened on the actual day or it is not as fun." I didn't actually mean I wanted my presents under a Christmas tree, but being the adorable person he is, he dug our little Christmas tree out of the garage and had my presents under it waiting for me when I got home.



My mom spoiled me and got me the most beautiful shoes from Anne Taylor. I recently was called as my ward's Primary President and she told me that I needed to look the part. Thanks Mama! :)



Lately I have also been feeling very homesick for Colorado since fall is coming so Dustin got me all kinds of fall smelling candles so that I can make my home smell like I am "home" in Colorado.

After we opened presents Dustin took me to a romantic dinner at Poseidon in Del Mar. It was the most perfect setting ever and the food was amazing!



Thanks Dusty! You made my birthday so wonderful!!

I love you!



Delicious!!
