Yesterday was my magic birthday.... I turned 23 on the 23rd of January! And it was a magical birthday indeed! I got to work to work all day (yay) and Dustin came to visit me, which was really nice. The ladies in my little department brought doughnuts and I brought brownies for my accounts payable gals and my preview express gals. After work I went out to dinner with Dustin at the Pizza Factory and it was delicious. :) He even let me get a rainbow watermelon sucker. YUM. We then went to the AT&T store so we could get 15% off our monthly bill! Good present from AT&T, eh? I thought so. Then Dustin gave me my presents. He got me a really nice picture of Christ that we'll hang in our family room and he got me a new gym back! Just like I wanted! (I'm being dead serious that I wanted it!)
After all that fun, we went to my house where there were 23 pink roses on the counter for me from my parents! They are so sweet! I got ready for a little cocktail party and then the real fun began! ;) I think there was a pretty good turnout and the party was complete with mocktails, shrimp cocktail, spinach and artichoke dip, mini cheesecakes, and even cookie dough truffles! We had a great time!
So here I am now, another year older... and 23 is my favorite number. I have a lot of great things to look forward to with this new year and this new age! I feel so young and so old at the same time.... but probably more young than old. That's a good thing, right? 23 just seemed like such an old age when I was younger and here I am... a college graduate, getting married, and still feeling like a baby.
Life is busy as ever with 2 jobs and wedding planning. I just got moved to a different position at StoresOnline so I've been training to do a LOT of new things. I swear I'm told to do something new every single day! That really keeps things interesting, but it's a lot to remember and it really keeps me busy. My Springville piano kids from the Art City Music Academy had their recital today and I think it went pretty well. They really are such great kids! The Draper ACMA recital will be February 12th so they're still getting ready and there's a lot to get ready for that!
The wedding planning is moving forward and looking great, but takes up all my free time. Sometimes I'd really just like to sit back and RELAX but there's never any time. Engagement pictures are done now and lots of shopping. There's still dress fittings though and floral shop visiting and honeymoon booking. And now to add to all the excitement, Dustin's little sister KENDRA is engaged as well. And actually EVERYONE seems to be getting engaged! Which kinda actually bums me out cuz then I'm not so special anymore! I really should suck it up, but "my special day" is no longer mine or special.... kinda disappointing. Life moves on. :) Overall, I really am happy and I really did have a great birthday! I will have to post some engagement pics soon! :) More wedding updates to come....

it's still your special day. even if everyone else is doing it. i used to feel that way about being pregnant, like it was so cliche or something. but then i got the cutest baby ever, so i didn't care if it was cliche. :)
Happy belated Birthday! I seriously thought about you so many times on Friday thinking I needed to get your number and tell you Happy BIrthday, but obviously I failed to do that, but at least know I truly was thinking about you! it does make it a little different when others close to you are getting married around the same time, but it is still your day. At least they aren't getting married the same day as you, and you can still do things however you want. Let me know if you need help with anything! I am so excited for you!
happy belated birthday! I'm glad you had a good one and that the wedding planning is going alright. keep us updated!:)
I want pictures!! Birthdays are fun, huh? Oh, and your wedding is going to be great and special because you will be marrying Dustin and NO ONE else will be! You're going to be beautiful!!
