1 year older and hopefully wiser too! :)

I feel kind of dumb doing a blog about my birthday.. but oh well.. I had a great day. We stayed over at my mom's because we were going to my cousin's wedding in Logan on Saturday and we had some errands to run in Brigham on Friday. I hated the blanket of snow that we woke up to!! IT is supposed to be spring! Mom made my favorite breakfast cocoa and toast, which only mom can make it the right way! Then we hurried to get ready to leave up to Logan. I wanted to open my presents before we went up and didn't have a lot of time, so my hair is lookin super nice in the pictures.. not done yet and no makeup! Yikes.. can't believe that I am posting these! I was spoiled and got Photoshop from my parents and Riley and the cricut software to go with my machine from Brandon. I really have to become tech savy now and my mom told me she expects great things! :) I also got some cute clothes and money and a wax machine. Thanks everyone!!

This is my ghetto birthday cake that I made today because cake sounded so good and I had an excuse for it. Tai and Joe and Cara, Matt and Hadlee came over to have some cake with us! Thanks guys!

I can't believe that I am 26!! I was telling Brandon and my mom that I don't think that 10 years ago I would have looked forward and imagined my life at 26 being the way that it is--no kids and STILL in school, and still working (at least it isn't Maddox!), but I honestly wouldn't change it for anything. I am so grateful for the things that I do have and for the many lessons I have learned, opportunities given, and being able to kind of have a career before kids. I was also thinking at how weird that I am only 4 years younger than my mom was when she had Riley!! That is so weird to me! I just hope that I will become more wise with each year that I get older!

Happy Birthday Stubbs! I can't believe we are this old either. We can't use "young, and just not knowing better" anymore!

I'm glad you had such a good birthday. And I am totally jealous that you got photoshop, I am still trying to convince Matt that I REALLY NEED it :)

Happy Birthday Bridge! I am looking forward to dinner Friday night. I'm glad being the younger friend is finally paying off. I'm still 25 :)
