Thursday morning the first thing I did was open Rog's gift. He ordered it way back in January and I was dying to know what it was. He had 2008 of our blog printed and made into a book! What a great gift and what a thoughtful husband I have!!
We went to breakfast at Kneaders for their yummy french toast. At work my coworkers spoiled me with cupcakes and oatmeal fudge bars. And at lunch, practically the whole accounting department showed up in my office to sing me happy birthday! For dinner we had stew and then I watched Wedding Date and scrapbooked for the rest of the night.On Friday we had planned to see Bolt in the dollar theatre and then go to Cold Stone for my free ice cream. But Rog convinced me to go to Cold Stone first and sneak our ice creams into the movie. I wasn't very happy about this, but I went along with it. After the movie, Rog made a mysterious call to "his mom" telling her he would be home in 10 minutes and then he would "email her a paper she needed." I totally fell for his lies and was SHOCKED when I walked into our apartment to find streamers and a whole group of my friends for a surprise party.
Emily made a beautiful cake and everyone took turns rocking out on Rockband. I was happy that so many of our friends would come to wish me a happy birthday. Thank you to everyone who came and made it a wonderful party! And a special thank you to Rog and Emily for putting the whole thing together! Oh and to Diana and Jason for decorating our apartment.... the decorations are still up! Haha!On Saturday we started the morning with a 6 mile run (we're training for the Salt Lake City Half Marathon on April 18). Then Emily and I got together and crafted the afternoon away (see my Spring post from Sunday). We drove up to Murray to go to the Cheesecake Factory with Emily and Zack. It was a long wait, but it was definitely worth it! Rog and I both ordered a fabulous salad and then shared an oreo cheesecake for dessert.
After dinner we went to Emily's parent's house and caught the end of the BYU basketball game. BYU won and sealed the deal on a three-way tie for the Mountain West Championship. Then Emily's wonderful mom taught me how to sew the binding on the quilt I have been working on (post to come as soon as I finish it). We were going to play games, but the night was cut short due to Daylight Savings Time!I had a wonderful weekend!! Thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special! I guess turning 23 wasn't so bad... Other than the fact that Blink says, "Nobody likes you when you're 23!" If that's the case, this really could be a long year. :)
Roger keeps amazing me with his great ideas . . . first the "Blog Book" and then the surprise party!
ReplyDeleteShauna, I always enjoy reading your blog. You really do have a lot of friends and family who love you very much. That's cause you've always been such a sweetheart!

ReplyDeleteWow! What a great birthday weekend! We get to have parties like that because all 3 of us have April birthdays within 2 weeks of each other! I don't know if Kennedy will be thrilled about that as she gets older, but oh well. :)
ReplyDeleteYou do have a thoughtful husband, don't you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great birthday weekend Shauna! It definitely makes 23 sound not too bad :) I would love to know how Roger put your posts into a book for you too, that is SUCH a great idea! We're also running in the SLC half marathon, we will have to look for each other up there! We're pretty nervous though, it'll be our first one! You guys are like pros at these half marathons :)
