My Birthday

I usually hate my birthday. Like, it should be completely skipped over every year. But after this year's birthday, I think I might be a little more optimistic in the future. Dave really outdid himself and completely spoiled me.

First thing in the morning, he let me sleep in and he got the kids up, dressed, fed, and off to school. Jett had come into my room to give me a really cute card, a penny, a gift card he had gotten last year for his birthday (lol!), and a Lego plaque he made that says "Mom!".

After I got ready, Dave drove me to Nails 21 on Main where I got a pedicure and didn't have to talk to anyone. It was amazing. Of course, my nail got messed up as soon as I got home, but it was still nice having pretty toes.

After he picked me up (with balloons), we went and got lunch at Zao and headed home. Dave told me I could watch the second season of Stranger Things, which also happened to come out on my birthday, but I hesitantly resisted so we could watch it together (you're welcome, Dave). So I watched Scrubs and folded laundry while he and Miles made me my birthday cake!

A few hours later, Dave sent me to University Mall to get an hour massage at Remedez, and it was heaven. It was everything I wanted. Again, no talking, and me just enjoying being pampered. After my massage, I took advantage of their amenities and showered. I got home, did my hair and makeup, and then Dave's parents came to watch the kids while we went to the Peruvian restaurant in SLC. We had the papas a la huancaina, platanos fritos, ceviche, and decided to try something different than the lomo saltado, which I kind of regret because lomo is amazing, but it was still fun trying something different. I still don't really know what it was. Ha ha ha ha!

After we got home, we had the cake Dave and Miles made me, which was my favorite: cake box German chocolate.

After Dave's parents left, the boys played me a special song and it was incredibly entertaining and hilarious. They're the best. Even if they are all tone deaf.

The boys also gave me some cute cards and sweets, as well as a coupon book! My first coupon book! And a lot of the coupons have to do with cleaning, which I'm a big fan of.

Then the Sunday after, Dave's parents had us over to once again celebrate my birthday! And Mom made me meatless enchiladas, ceviche, and some amazing bread. It was such a great meal! And to top  it off, they gave me the gift of money! Woo hoo!

It was an awesome birthday and honestly, it was the best birthday I've ever had.
