Oh man I had the absolute best birthday, well as amazing as can be with my cute husband working in Texas but we celebrated with the best donuts in Utah, some shopping and dinner at Tucanos. Lyle got me the most amazing present that he shouldn't have (and that I didn't ask for btw). I have been eyeing those babies for over a year but then I always say we can't spend that. He sent me chocolate covered strawberries, beautiful flowers and scheduled me a massage...even though he already went above and beyond and shouldn't have. He finished the day with him and his lovely roomies singing me happy birthday and it was so sweet! I'm so grateful for amazing friends and family who texted, messaged or called to help make my birthday even better. Birthdays always leave me feeling so blessed and having so much gratitude in my heart for all the amazing people i have met thus far in my life. Thank you thank you thank you!! My cute Texas friend sent me an edible arrangement and my cousin got me a breakfast smoothie. I hope I can help add to everyone elses birthday the way everyone does for mine.The next day I got to come out to MD to celebrate with my family and my mom made me the most amazing cake! The buttercream frosting was to die for and as usual I ate far too much this weekend. We got to celebrate in my favorite city ever with a day trip to NYC. We saw the 9/11 memorial, explored central park, ate at levain bakery and basically walked our feet off.
