Happy Birthday to me. 25!!

I know this is a little late but I had to blog about my 25th birthday. It was wonderful! Anyone who knows me well knows that I don't care too much for cold weather. So I was a little bummed when the first of several snow storms decided to arrive on my birthday. But Bradley planned a wonderful birthday for me, as he always does. :) We went down to Asian Star in Salt Lake which is the best Chinese restaurant around, hands down. It is one of our favorites so I was thrilled when Brad took me there for my birthday. What made it even better was that Erin and Brian joined us! It was a lot of fun. After dinner Erin and Brian headed off on their own date and Bradley took me down town to the Galleven center where they have an outdoor ice skating rink. He got me all bundled up and we spent the snowy evening ice skating! It was simply gorgeous outside with the brightly decorated trees and giant snowflakes falling slowly all around. We had tons of fun pretending we were professional figure skaters and racing around the rink to see who was fastest. Needless to say Bradley has once again made my birthday perfect. Love you hun!

Christmas!

Happy Christmas to all! Brad and I had a fabulous Christmas this year. While we missed family that lives far away, we had a lot of fun waking up in our own house and running downstairs to open presents together. We have a lot of fun picking out presents and doing our best to surprise each other. I'll attach a slide show of some of our pictures. Among the many wonderful presents Bradley gave me, my favorite was probably a salon dryer used for color services for my salon. It was the best surprise! After I had opened what I thought were all of my presents, Brad pointed out that I had a little box hidden in our tree with another present! Side note: Brad's family has a little tradition of putting together creative scavenger hunts to find what is usally a bigger gift. So the little box that was hidden for me was the first clue in a fun scavenger hunt that led me all around the house and then to Brad's Dad's house where I found my new salon dryer. I'm so lucky to have a husband that sacrifices so much to make me happy and support me in my endeavors. Christmas was a fun day filled with gifts and family and food. I hope you all had a wonderful day as well!
