I had my birthday this past weekend. And can I just say that I love that my birthday is always on Labor Day weekend. It seriously is so fabulous having all that time to celebrate!
This year my parents came out on Friday and they took me to the mall where I went to Bath and Body Works and spent all my Dad's money. No, not really! But they did buy me some amazing things from there! They were having the best sale of my life AND I had about five coupons... so let's just say we saved more money than we even spent! I got a couple of candles and they smell like what I imagine heaven smells like. You think I'm kidding, but I'm not.
Then Laurie took me to Build-a-Bear and bought me a new friend! Haha, Laurie kept telling all the workers that it was my birthday and so they gave me a birthday girl name tag and then made me ring a huge cowbell to announce to the whole store that it was my birthday and that everyone needed to yell, "Happy Birthday!" I felt like I was five but it was so much fun. Now Gary and I are the proud parents of a cute monkey named George. He wears a happy birthday shirt and of course, skinny jeans. And he loves dancing.
Then that evening my parents took Gary and I to the Brian Stokes Mitchell concert on campus. It was so good. After that we partied at Andy and Laurie's house like it was 1999.
On Saturday we went to Swiss Days in Midway with Andy and Laurie. I can't wait to go back to that next year. Later that evening we went to The Story Telling Festival. It was absolutely hilarious!
Since Gary didn't have work on Monday he took me up to Temple Square and we saw the new exhibit they have of the temple. It is a model of the temple which shows all the rooms and everything. It was really cool to be able to see it. So all in all it was an awesome birthday and I got nice and spoiled. Haha.
