24

I can't believe I didn't blog about my 24th birthday!! It was one of my favorite birthdays to date!

I love celebrating my birthday. As vain as it sounds, I love that I get a day all to myself where everything gets to be about me :)

So here's what we did:

We drove down to Bountiful the evening before and stayed at Daniel and Emily's house. My parents had also come up, so they were there too!

I woke up to a delicious breakfast of stuffed french toast and my dad's specialty omelets. Oooh it was all so delicious!

Eric and I then got ready, kissed Hallie goodbye and went ice skating! It was kind of scary at first...we both had been before, but were clearly out of practice. It takes a few minutes to get the hang of it, but we were cruisin' around in no time. We had a great time and no one even got hurt!

24!

23!

After ice skating, we went back to Daniel and Emily's and I took a nap while my dad prepared theee most amazing dinner! Seriously so good. 

It was broiled salmon with a yummy mustard glaze or something, topped with lemon, herbs and pomegranates, served over a side of garlic red potatoes and a size mixed greens topped with pomegranate vinaigrette and parmesan cheese. 

It was hands down, the best meal I've ever had in my entire life!

After Dinner, Eric and I headed off to temple square to go see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir + the Muppets Christmas Concert!

Back before Eric and I even started dating, he took me to the MOTAB Christmas Concert as a friend and it turned out to be one of the best days of my entire life!

 2 years later, we went again... but this time as husband and wife :)

December 13th, 2014

It was a great concert (not quite as great as the one we went to two years ago... that one had Alfie Boe) But great none-the-less. Afterwards we went over to the Cheesecake Factory to try and get some dessert (we had a gift card that had been sitting in my wallet for 5 years!) But there was a huge line and tons of people, so we went to the food court and got some overpriced Greek food. My Gyro was great, but Eric got a "chicken platter" that consisted of yellow rice and 3 pieces of bland chicken. Back at Dan and Em's I was delighted to find a sleeping baby and ROUND 2 of that delicious dinner! My dad prepared it all over again because Emily wasn't able to eat it with us the first time (she and Daniel are apart of the Orchestra at temple square, and she was in the concert that night). And oh man, it was just as delicious the second time.

As you can see, it was an amazing birthday! I was so happy to be with the ones I love!
