Birthday Confession

I am officially a year older now!! Hooray! The BIG 23. I was thinking that 23 is a good number to be, that is until I saw the picture of me blowing out my candles... Look at my cheeks! How do they expand like that?!  I am seriously scared to see what next year will bring.  I gave that my all, blew out every candle! I remember how I used pose for the "Blowing out the candles picture" and barely blew enough air out to get one candle, just so I wouldn't look like a monkey.  Guess I forgot that this year!  Am I the only one who did that?  

I love family traditions! Icing shortbread nuggets has been in our family since before I was born.  I remember introducing them to Danny last year, and was so offended because he didn't think they were "amazing" like I said they were.  What is his problem?... absolutely nothing because since then I have come to learn that any person outside our family doesn't think anything special about these delicious cookies!  It is the fun memories and yearly tradition of icing them that makes them so tasty and something we all look forward to every year!!... so now, a year later, Danny is part of the family and thinks they are amazing :)

Lagoon Day

We went to Lagoon the last day it was open for the season, which we now know is the best day to go! The weather was perfect, lines were 5 minutes long, and we got to do Frightmares at night. Half way through the day we went our to our car watched The Office and took a nap... so pretty much the best day ever!

We just thought these were hilarious

California

I went to Cali for a work seminar with my favorite coworkers, Brooke and Jill...  

...and yes the highlight was a nice bike ride on the boardwalk, those huge seats were awesome! It was my first trip away from Danny, so pretty big deal!  Everyone keeps telling me that this honeymoon stage will pass, does it have to?!

Halloween

 

Danny just didn't understand why none of the kids wanted to go to him?

We also dressed up for work, I wasn't too stoked for it but it turned out way fun.  My favorite costumes were tweedle dee and tweedle dum...  Brooke and Jill were such good sports!  

Seriously, I know I graduated forever ago but I still have cavemen pride!  I know Danny will have it one day too...  Anyways my little sisters and I went to Payson to watch my brother, Devin, compete for first in the marching band.  Devin is in the drum line and they are amazing!  They took everything in Payson, and just got back from Vegas and took everything from there as well. I have never really appreciated the marching band thing until my brother became apart of it, but let me tell you it takes great talent to do what these kids do!  Marching, counting, playing their instrument, moving around the field in different places, all at the same time, it really is so cool to watch!  Devin has dedicated so much of his time and sacrificed a lot to do what he does, and for how good they are it pays off!  I am so proud of my brother!  They are going to nationals in a couple of weeks and things are looking really good for them, I have to say it... GO AF!!

Park City

We got to go up to Park City and stay at a condo for a weekend.  We had so much fun just hanging out, being lazy and eating.  We rented a bunch of TV shows and stayed up all night!  It was fun to just get away from the normal day to day things.  We brought up some bikes and got around that way, in the beginning I felt like I was 6 years old again trying to learn, but I finally was able to keep up with Danny.  One of our adventures was biking up to the Olympic Park, it was pretty rough!  I should've taken a picture of the gradual, huge hill we had to bike up, but we made it and were able to watch some kids practice skiing of those huge jumps!  I can't believe people really do that!
