Happy Birthday To Me!

Yesterday was my birthday, and it was SOO awesome. On Sunday we did ice cream and cake with my family and I got cute clothes from the sisters, gift card from brandon and 100 bucks from my mommy and daddy. Then Yesterday, i had the day off, but Nick couldnt get off work ;(. So I went to my parents and played with my mommy all day :) We went shopping for a few hours, then just hung out and chatted. Then when my daddy got home he took me to get snowcones (My absolute FAVORITE!) Then Nick came to pick me up for dinner. When I got in the car there was a dozen BEAUTIFUL red roses on the passenger seat. Then we went and ate at Red Robin, and he decided not to have them sing to me (Thanks baby) and we headed home. We got there, and I said "I just wanna crash, im soo tired" He said that was fine, so I walk in the door, and my family and his parents all jumped out and yelled "Surprise" it was so awesome ♥ The house was full of candy filled balloons, crepe paper, and confetti. It was so cute :)) From there I opened another gift from nick, the first 100 episodes of spongebob, i've been wanting this for SOO long. And everyone had cake, and left. Then we went to bed, cuddled and watched spongebob for a couple hours ♥ That my friends, is the perfect birthday.

Fathers Day Pondering

I know this is late, but I just thought I would post a few of the things I love about my daddy since it was just Fathers Day.

*He always puts his kids first

*He can always make me smile

*Hes my brown eyed handsome daddy :)

*He's always doing nice things for us. A few examples of this:

Last weekend I was really sick with a cold, i couldn't talk and had a horrible cough. So at about 9 pm i hear the doorbell ring, I run downstairs and peep through the peephole and who is it? My sweet daddy carrying a snowcone. He is my superman. I love him SOO much.

Another example, on fathers day he came to our house and helped Nick install a window a/c in our bedroom so we didnt die of heat this summer. I truly have the best daddy in the world...



Also, on Fathers day I had alot of time to think... We went to Nicks parents ward, then a bbq at my parents house. At Nick parents ward, Xander ran up to Nick with a huge grin on his face, gave him a hug, said "miss you" and when we were leaving he kissed me and said "Love you most!" Its kids like him that make me not want to wait to have kids. And the way nick plays with him I know he's going to be and amazing dad. WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT! We talked about this the other day. I told him I couldnt wait to have kids,but at the same time Im not ready to grow up. I already had to grow up ALOT when I got married, I had to start paying my own bills, I got a car payment, along with Nicks bills, a house payment. I realized how truly spoiled I was! Plus like my mom always says, She wants grandkids so bad, but once you have kids, its not just for a year or two, its forever. And While im sure its the most rewarding thing in the world. im not even close to being ready...

Have you ever?

Have you ever taken a look around and wondered if you deserve half the things you have? I feel that way when I look at this picture


I would say that the surest measure of a man's maturity is the harmony, style, joy, and dignity he creates in his marriage, and the pleasure and inspiration he provides for his spouse.
