best one yet

today is my birthday.

everyone sing! quick!

"happy birthday to you...happy birthday to you.."

just kidding. 

but this weekend has been amazing.

 i am so blessed to have such an amazing family and friends. like really. 

yesterday, i went on the best date of like..the year. and pretty much ever.

(because i don't go on many dates..shh don't tell..)

so i requested work off a week ago for this saturday and my manager was tole me to find someone to cover me and i could have it. i asked everyone i worked with, and of course, EVERYONE was on that saturday. so i was just going to work my birthday celebration day away. but then i got there and basically, Jimmy, another host, offered to take my shift for me!! what a gem! i worked like 18 solid minutes. cool. 

so then i went home and got all pretty for my birthday date with Taylor.

leggings, combat boots (present from the parents:)) and some cute t-shirt with curled hairs. pretty much adorbs right?

so Tay came and got me and we went to my FAVORITE restaurant ever. 

cafe rio.

the way to my heart might just be through grilled chicken salads..

then i ate my entire salad almost. like totally pigged out..woops..

so after dinner, i had no idea what was going on and all i got from Taylor was "It's a surprise." so off we drove to the riverwoods!!

cute right?? we walked around a little then we went on a carriage ride. it was like lightly snowing and not super windy. basically, it was perfectness. 

then i got my birthday present:) 

isn't it gorgeous??

yes, your answer is yes because it's flat out gorgeous. 

basically, my boyfriend is cooler than yours. 

then i came home to this...

petunia was encased in a snowy case of distress. 

it took me like .2 seconds to think of who would've done this. 

of course. 

but! they imported snow directly from springville. they cleaned out a park doing so. 

taylor jumped out of the car and got petunia out in like 5 minutes. 

boyfriend of the year?

i think yes. he deserves a mug that says that or something:)

then sunday was another partay.

i went danny's farewell. he ran xc for a season..or a week..i'm not sure but he was on the team and his farewell was on the same day as  Mark's (mark was on the team for forever) and well..danny was always super duper nice, mark wasn't. so off to danny's we went. 

turns out it was Taylor's ward too. so i had to get ready for reals. no one should see 7 am on a sunday. ever. 

we got there and tay tay came and sat with us and danny was late to his own farewell and he's gonna be an amazing missionary! then during sacrament meeting i got bored and thumb warred taylor..then his poppa sends him a text and it says "do you think you could keep your hands to yourself?" and i about died. too funny. :)

then after church, britt called and gave me many options for breakfast. crepes sounded amazing. britt came and kidnapped me and gave me my birthday present. 

a cable knit blanket.

shut the front door!!!!!!!!!! 

then we went to her house where jason,britt's daddy, made us breakfast! crepes, eggs,bacon and hash browns. so goooood. 

then off to salt lake we went because all good adventures begin there. 

we then went ice skating at the galivan center and that was quite the experience. it was actually super fun:) 

aren't we the cutest? it was totes the wrong day to not wear pants..oh well. then we went and got starbucks and it was buy one get one free. so we gave the other one to a homeless man because we wanted to be nice. then we got cold and came home to costa chicken:)

how cute are we???

then i came home to MORE birthday cake 

with my lovely family:) 

then on monday, i went to yogurtland with my favorite runners. 

kels,laur, and kami :)

i feel like 19 is going to be amazing:)
