Finally 21... and have been for two years


It's official.  I am finally 21, and I have been for the past two years.  I got married young and have coincidentally lied about my age since then.  

I apologize if you have been a victim of betrayal. 

My birthday was spent with my aunt, uncle, cousins, and Makay in Nashville.  I am SO grateful for family.  My birthday was absolutely wonderful and I couldn't feel more blessed than I am right now. 

My aunt and uncle (Amy and Doug) pampered me with relaxing bath salts, luffas, and a pedicure kit.   Does life get better than the tub, a bath, and a book?  I think not. 

My sweet husband went overboard.  We generally don't spend a lot of money on gifts.  However, BYU-Idaho has come out with their Laptop Initiative.  Every student will be required to have a laptop.  SO... you guessed it.  Makay found a really great deal on a MacBook.  So here I sit in our living room, updating my blog on my very own MacBook!  I feel so spoiled!

Happy belated birthday... I'm kinda wondering about the lying about your age part. Oh well.

I see you graced us with two posts today, your public is overwhelmed!

Carol said...

Sounds like you had a great birthday. And as far as the lying about your age - I see no problem with that - I'm still saying that I'm 21! And have for the past 30 yrs! :)

Happy B-Day to my Alli, I thought about you while I was in Spain or was it France on your B-Day. I really did! Glad that you had a good day. It sounds like you and Makay are having a wondeful time. I think you look cute in your work outfit. I do believe that you would look cute in anything you have on. I love you and an happy for this expereince that the two of you are having. You lucky girl to have your own computer/ that Makay guy is a keeper, tell him I love him.

Happy Birthday!

I still don't own a drill - so I am more envious of your power tools than your mac! I am so glad you two are having this fun adventure together. I love to see your smiling face. I hope this third year of being 21 is the best one yet!

much love,
anne

Ashley knows how you feel she's only got a few more months until she turns 21. But she has a baby too. :-)
