mon anniversaire!

ignore how gross i look in this..

i had been sweaty all night. & so my hair is huge. anyway.

my "golden birthday" (24 on the 24th) was a huge success! i had such a great day that i will never forget. luke & i woke up early & headed to criddle's cafe for some breakfast, where i facetimed with my brother's families! it was a great way to start off my day, thank you guys so much for calling! i miss my little stinkies.

after breakfast we headed out to celebrate SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY! it happened to fall on my bday which was perfect since i'm an avid walmart hater & love to shop locally.

i found some awesome incubus vinyls leftover from black friday, which was so relieving! these albums go online for 100 bucks & they were only 25 bucks each at graywhale! i did a happy dance.

we got all of our christmas shopping done (i did at least) on 25th street.. where i accidentally gave away what i am giving luke for xmas.

you see, we were in an antique store when i saw a bunch of nintendo 64 games... i browsed through them (i've been trying to find mario kart for MONTHS ever since i bought luke the 64).. well, since i'm not much of a video gamer, luke said, "hey, i think youre giving away what my xmas present is."

dangit.

we went home & busted it out early & played DK & tony hawk for a few hours.

then we headed down to my parents.

gathered eggs, ate a couple, & fed the dogs.

then we headed back to our house so i could take a nap before the nighttime festivities:

other randoms throughout the day, including the stars vinyl luke got me that i have been trying to find for over 2 years.

so needless to say it was a GREAT DAY!

thank you everyone who came out to slackwater for pizza & nachos, & everyone who came over after for nintendo! it was such a good bday. i'll truly never forget it!

my birthday present.

 

luke gave me the other half of my birthday present over the weekend, & what a lovely present it was.

for those who don't remember, i accidentally found the first part of my present a couple weeks ago while cleaning... two vinyls by the xx. it was a great surprise, even if it came a little early.

on saturday, luke took me & his sister marti to the pie for some delicious pizza nomz, & then we headed over to kilby court to see milo greene play. 

 

we first saw milo greene when they opened for the civil wars back in may. we were amazed at how incredible these guys are.

we wanted to go see them in august but it fell on the same day as our family triathlon...we were kinda bummed about that.

but luckily these guys show utah some love more than twice a year...& we were very excited about that.

luke bought me their vinyl & we even got the band to sign it... all in all it was a seriously awesome day...despite the snow storm we had to drive home through.

so fun!
