Birthday Week!


A few firsts this year.....
It has been a very exciting birthday week!
This year was my 31st birthday!  Yup, the entry into my third decade of gracing this earth with my presence.  I hate getting old.

I started out the week by doing my first "fun" run ever on Saturday! My MIL and Sister-in-law did the Black Light Glow Run with me.
I will be honest...I wasn't looking forward to doing the 5k in the dark.  Needless to say it was a great first race experience and was so much fun.

Next on the agenda was Father's Day Sunday. Since I couldn't make it to Idaho to see my Dad, I called him up that evening.  The rest of the day I spent at church and with my husband and watching game three of the NBA Finals!  It was our first Father's Day together after being married.

My next stop during the week was to stop and visit my "super" brother Layton. He was lucky enough to be blessed with my presence two times this week. The first night, I surprised him after work just to say "hello". He surprised me with a grocery list of things like popcorn and ice cream.  Two days later when I returned with the grocery items, I was able to learn more about Layton's Ventilator and Diaphramic Pace-Maker. I was able to receive some brief respiratory training from one of his nurses.  This was a beginning of a training that I will receive from the nurses at Layton's hospital to be able for Layton and I to go on outings.


On Thursday (my birthday), Ajay surprised me by taking me to get an eye exam with new contacts included.  He then took me to pick up my birthday cake and also to lunch.  Afterward, I rushed to the bees baseball park for work.  Lucky for me, Salt Lake pulled out a win that night against El Paso.  After work, we went to the Olive Garden for dinner with 3 of our favorite people.  It was such a delight to spend the evening with Eric and Shelby Schenk and also Lace Perry.  I think our waitress might have had just as much fun as we did.

Birthday Saturday was spent in Cache Valley visiting family and long-time friends of Ajay. We returned from Logan and Ajay headed off to work once again at the baseball park.  The Bees were able to pull off another win against Alberquerque.



It was a wonderful birthday week and I'm so grateful to have spent it with the best husband in the universe...we have been married a whopping 301 days.  While we have only been married a short time, we love making each day and every moment count.  Thank you to all those who took the time to wish me a happy birthday. Love you all!
