23


Well, another birthday came and went.  I really did have a fun birthday though! When I got to work, I realized my desk was decorated with streamers and balloons.  Some of my good friends brought yummy treats..... caramel and apples, donuts, and ice cream sandwiches.  I also got a $5 gift card to Coldstone from work.  So it started off great, everyone at work made it really special, and I was grateful for that.

After work we went straight to dinner at a place called El Toro Viejo. Such good Mexican food!! They sang to me while wearing that ridiculously heavy hat :) After dinner we had gotten tickets for Meet the Mormons, so we headed straight to the theaters.  Of course, I saved room for my favorite treat: popcorn!  That movie was so uplifting and entertaining.  We laughed and (I) cried.  Definitely worth the watch!

^^ Birthday hat and dessert ^^
My almost-to-last birthday event was going to Home Depot to pick out my birthday present.  The only thing I really really wanted was a succulent plant.  They are so beautiful- I just had to have one to take care of!! So Spencer wanted me to pick one out so I got just what I wanted.  I picked out two! And left with a smile on my face :) Then we stuffed our faces with that delicious cake when we got home.

^^ That was my piece ^^

I have no complaints, it was such a great birthday!  And thank you to all others who gave gifts and wished me Happy Birthday. Feeling so blessed :)

 I recently finished two pieces for Christen Snow. Her little boy and girl are daaaang cute, and they were so much fun to paint! Christen, thank you for asking me to paint portraits for you!! I really enjoyed doing it, I learned so much too.  I am so happy with the way they turned out, hope you are too! :)
