Happy Birthday to ME!

I turned 35 on Saturday, December 5th. It's a good thing that 40 is the new 30 because that means 35 is the new 25. Right? Right! I really like being the age I am, but I don't really like saying I'm 35. It just sounds old. It's the oldest I've ever been.



Chris gave me my gift on Saturday morning. He did an awesome job wrapping it. He used black duct tape and red graffers tape. That was an adventure to open! It was a purple ipod nano. I love it so very much! I've been wanting one for a long long time. It's very fun!

I made a lunch date with some of my girl friends. We went to the Red Iguana in Salt Lake. It's a Mexican restaurant that's really popular. Really yummy too! Here I am with Krisanne, Catherine and Becky. A friend I used to work with, a friend from church and a friend who is also my sister in law.

This is Desirae and Tara. They are both friends from church. My friends April and Teresa were there too, but not in the pictures. Our waiter was enamored by Tara. Her drink order was the only one taken. The rest of us had to wait and order our drinks with our meal. Lucky Tara!

What a great group of gals! I loved being surrounded by beautiful women and great friends!

In the bottom left hand corner you can see my birthday dessert. I'm still not sure who told them it was my birthday! Some waiters and waitresses came and sang to me and then we all shared some yummy tres leche cake. It was good, but so rich I was glad to share.

All my siblings called or texted me birthday wishes. My mom and dad both called me too. I felt so loved! Chris baked me a birthday cake and we took it to the Ward Christmas party/dinner. I didn't fix a meal at all this day, and that my friends, is a pretty great way to celebrate a birthday!
