My 25th Birthday!!!

So, I turned the big 25 this year, which was pretty depressing at first - but I got over it pretty quick! lol ;) I will admit that it did help a little to have the best boyfriend ever!!! He is amazing and made this birthday one of the best EVER!!! :)

It started out by him calling me early to wish me a Happy Birthday so he could be the first! Then later that day a surprise showed up at my work - I couldn't believe it but he sent FLOWERS! They were the most beautiful and best smelling flowers I've ever seen! The arrangement was awesome - it even had a live pumpkin vine with 4 small pumpkins on it. He told them my favorite colors of orange and pink - then the florist did the rest! :) Below are a few different angles so you can see how cool the arrangement was, even though these pictures don't do justice!

I've never seen a dark purple star gazing lily like the one below - it was gorgeous!

But I absolutly loved the orange star gazing lily below!

Some of the others bloomed later but I didn't get pictures of them! :(



The best part about this surprise is the funny little story I have to share along with it. I can't remember what we were watching on TV but it had something to do with some guy giving his gf flowers. Well, Ryan starts saying how he thinks sending flowers is kinda dumb and a waste of money! Mind you - this is just days before my birthday. We have a little discussion on it and I didn't think any more of it. Then BAM - on my birthday I get flowers from him. I called to thank him and he started laughing asking if his comment the other day threw me off. I admitted that I wasn't really expecting flowers and that might have helped me to think he wouldn't send me any. Well, I guess he had been planning it for awhile because he discretely asked for my work address about a month before all of this and he was good at making up an excuse that there was an address written down on a piece of paper in my writing and he was wondering if he needed to keep it. I guess I was just pretty much oblivious! lol Oh well, it made it all better that way! :)

Then, later when I got home from grabbing us some dinner (we were tending his little brother and sister while his parents were out of town, so we couldn't go out) I come down the stairs to find all of them around the below table and they start singing Happy Birthday to me. He even had candles on the cake - a 2 and a 4 then a normal candle - that's all he had and it worked out perfect! lol :)

After all that excitement he hands me my birthday card which was signed by all of them -Janessa, Caiden and Ryan - it was cute! The card was one that made noise when you open it so when I did it was loud and it kind of made me jump. Well out falls 2 tickets - I lean down to pick them up and they are 2 tickets to Gary Alan!!! :) Someone we had been talking about trying to get tickets too! Of course though - he did trick me again because for a couple of weeks since they went on sell - he was telling me that they were sold out, so we were watching KSL. He would send me links to KSL every couple of days - once again it was just a ploy to throw me off and it worked!!! I was so surprised!!!

Me showing off my super excited face!! LOL

Then the two of us showing how excited we both are!! :) LOL

Then the more serious cute pic, just had to show this one! :)

I have to say it again though - this was seriously the best birthday, thanks to Ryan!!! He is so awesome and I'm grateful for all he does, he treats me so great! :)

Oh and the night before my birthday - my parents took Ryan and me out to Asian Star - it was soooo yummy!!! Thanks Mom and Dad, that made my birthday great too along with your other gift that may be mentioned later....lol! :)

Ryan's Birthday Weekend!

For Ryan's birthday we (a couple friends of his and us) decided to take a trip out to a place called Knolls which is out towards Wendover. It has some good 4 wheeling trails. It was a blast. I didn't get any pics of us 4 wheeling cause I thought I forgot my camera, but then found it! :) Anyway, we also decided to spend a couple of nights in Wendover since we were so close....plus they had a few concerts that were cheap.

Us at the seafood buffet at Montega Bay - it was delicious!
Ry really enjoying the food and having fun at the same time! :)

Then after dinner we headed to the best concert of the weekend - Clint Black!
He was awesome and it was a whole lot of fun!

Ryan and me outside the Peppermill Concert Hall after Clint Black -
it really was an awesome concert! :)

Then the next concert was Phil Vassar - we didn't expect it to be that fun, but it was
way fun and entertaining! :)

He was awesome on the piano!

Wrapping up the night back at our hotel room...

Ryan and his friend Mckay - still rocking out! Lol!

But the night ended soon and it was the end of Ryan's birthday weekend celebration!
But we all had a blast so that was fun! :)

Wyoming Downs

Since I'm getting grief for not posting - here you go..lol. I don't have too much going on that includes pictures - so this is the most recent event. Saturday morning Ryan (the guy I'm currently dating) decided that a trip to the Downs would be fun for a couple of hours! So, we loaded up and went...it was a blast! It was me, Ryan and his friend Mckay. Here are some pics...but please note, I was a little lame and didn't get any of the actually race?! Yeah...I didn't realize that until we left! DUH! Anyway - enjoy!

Mckay...me...Ryan - having a blast as you can tell...

Mckay having more fun then he ever imagined! haha



Ryan and me...just after the races!

I know - it's about time, right?!

So, I finally gave into peer pressure and decided to join the fade of blogging! :) Even though my mother did teach me better...we all must experience life despite that. ;) Love you mom! So here we go...we'll see how good I am at keeping this up-to-date. Hope you enjoy what lies ahead and I'm sure there will be some entertaining moments. ;)
