I'm embarrassed to say it's been a reeeeally long time since we've gone to the temple for no other reason than to just go. We usually just go for weddings. I'm glad we went. We are going to start making it a priority. Plus it's always fun to see so many people you know there. We ended up being in the same session as our good friends Brooke and Jared Bingham. How fun. Afterwards we all went to the Macaroni Grill and hung out for awhile.
We stayed at the Buttes. It was super nice. After dinner we went hot tubbing for about 3 minutes. It was too hot so we gave up and went back to our room.
I slept so good. I had lots of space, rather than my typical 2 inches, with nobody kicking me in the face (Elly), Kneeing me in the back (Elly), or pulling my hair to fall asleep (Elly). Instead of me this time, it was Nana who was kicked in the face, kneed in the back, and got her hair pulled I'm sure. Thanks Nana! I owe you.
The next day (today) we went shopping and I got lots of fun stuff. As one of my presents, Nathan gave me a check that he got from Aflack for going to the chiropractor. With it, I finally got the awesome storage unit from Ikea that I have been dying to get for awhile now. Love it! Nathan even put it together for me already. My mom gave me some birthday money that I used to buy the super cute baskets from Target to go in it. What a good birthday!
I came home to some super sweet kids that were in such a good mood. It's always nice to get away but I always miss my kids like crazy!

Your storage unit is so cute! How fun to get away. We only got away to dinner on my birthday, but it was the nicest to eat without someone climbing on me and actually talk to my husband. It is weird how much you miss the kids that you think are driving you crazy, huh!

That is always nice to get away! Happy late Birthday! I'm glad it was a good one.
Happy b.day to you! Looks like a great time! i LOVE the storage unit and baskets! They all look so good!
Happy Birthday! I thought about you on your birthday, but it was a little after midnight our time, I was working, and I didn't think you'd appreciate a birthday phone call at that time! Then of course I forgot after that. But at least I remembered the moment it turned your birthday. Sounds like you had a good one. It's always the best to get away from the kids for a little while. Love ya!
Happy Birthday Lady!!! sounds like you had a blast!! you deserve it :)
