Recent Happenings

A few weeks ago Justin and I decided to try this Whole30 diet (we made it a week). You basically don't eat any carbs or dairy or beans. So yeah... what can you even eat? Basically the whole week felt like this

 It took a few days to get the hang of it but I wanted to share our favorite meal:
Sweet Potato hash with fried eggs and avocado (avocado makes everything taste better). It was gooooood.

I went to Montrose, Colorado last week to visit my sister, Brittany and help her with her kids while her husband was away at a convention in Chicago. We had so much fun painting nails, coloring, playing Mario Cart, and watching Frozen over and over and over again :)

They are such cuties. And baby Sloan is soooo soft. I loved kissing his cheeks. Also, I think Tess looks EXACTLY like Brittany. I feel like I learned a lot about being a mom the few days I was there. Brittany is a great example. I definitely missed Justin but it was great to be able to spend some sister time together.

My family has a lot of birthdays in March so we usually celebrate them all together at Classic Skating! The skating was a blast but Justin and Alex also had a great time at the arcade.

They are so funny together. They seem more like friends than uncle and nephew, and it's pretty comical how Alex is a foot taller than Justin. ha ha

On a more sad note, I was in a car accident a few weeks ago and the Honda was totaled! We were pretty surprised it was totaled because I was just rear ended, and it wasn't too bad of a hit but I guess there was some pretty significant frame damage. Sooooo we had to say good bye to the trusty Honda. It was sad. 

The good news is that I got a new car! It's a white Ford Focus and I am really enjoying the power windows and Bluetooth. Who knew cars were so fancy these days! 

25th Birthday

Last weekend I turned 25!! I really can't believe i'm 25. It feels really old for some reason. Aren't 25 year olds supposed to be mature, have a fabulous career, and know that their life is heading in a certain upward spiral...?  Hopefully that's 26 or 27 or 28 year olds! Luckily Justin didn't make any "you're getting old" jokes, and it turned out to be an awesome birthday. Saturday birthdays are the BEST! We got to spend all day celebrating.

Justin took me to breakfast and let us listen to Katy Perry every time we were in the car, and she, very appropriately has a song titled Birthday on her new Album.

We went to lunch with Mark and Kim (Justin's amazing parents) and then we went home and snuggled in our bed to eat mint brownies and watch a movie. This may have been the best part of the day.

We went to dinner with some of my family then went to my parents to open presents and eat cake. Sunday night we celebrated with Justin's parent's. They put 25 candles on 5 cupcakes for me to blow out. 

Justin and I are so blessed to have such amazing families. They go above and beyond for us all the time, especially when it comes to birthdays. We always have so much fun. I told Justin that in 25 years, if marrying him is the only ting i've done right then it's been a successful 25 years. As corny as that sounds, it's true! He is too good to me and I look forward to lots more birthdays together.
