2011 minus 1988. . .

23! Just in case you didn't feel like doing the math ;)
I don't think 23 sounds that much older than 22.
For some reason 24 sounds a lot older than 23 though.
So next year...I better watch out!
We celebrated my birthday on Saturday since Allen had to work all day
on Monday. Not going to lie, I'm one of those people who really, really
likes to celebrate on the exact date, but this year I realized
wow we're really starting to be grown ups when
you know that there are no exceptions to take the day off
of work for a birthday.
Luckily we already planned some days off of work
for a much needed vacae to Lake Powell next week
so that will definitely make up for it!
Birthday celebrations went a little like this:
mani/pedi in the morning, kfc picnic for lunch, shopping at Nords, tucanos, family dinner on Sunday, surprise scoot scoot/moped ride, and of course some birthday cake!
I really wanted to rent a moped on Saturday and drive through the Alpine Loop,
but for the life of us we couldn't find anyone who rents out scooters around here.
Allen did something hilarious and surprised me so he made sure I still got a moped ride.
The night of my birthday he got home late, but when he got home he told me
hurry let's go jump in the car!
We pulled up to some random apartment, knocked on the door, and some guy answered.
I was completely confused.
Well it turns out there was a moped for sale so Allen pretended we were interested
in buying it and really we just test drove it and rode around for a couple blocks --
Al just really wanted to make sure I got my moped ride.
How considerate is that? I couldn't stop laughing. I just love little memories like that.
Earlier that day Camille and Devee came and surprised me at work with balloons and a 
gift, which was so sweet and thoughtful of them. I was out to lunch, but apparently if I was there Camille was going to make me wear a pink tiara at work.
Lucky I was out eating ;)
I didn't take a lot of pics of the birthday weekend, but here's a couple:

Also, I sent out a facebook link with my survey, but if you have not taken it
(and are interested in taking a health and wellness survey :)
please click on THIS link.
I created this survey for my new job
and to do a study for my health and wellness internship.
Thanks! Happy weekend ahead!

Aren't birthdays just the BEST?! I'm glad you had a good one, and I hope your vacation is fun too!

Happy Birthday! Now I want to go a moped ride of the Alpine Loop. Maybe keep looking and go in the fall when the leaves start to change. That'd be gorgeous. Hmm... sounds like a great date for M & I here in New England.
No way would I have worn a pink tiara at work either, but you have to love it. :)
Sidenote-- did you get a new camera? I know we were talking about it sometime and all your pics look AMAZING.

So I didn't get a new camera yet...probably sometime after graduation -- but thanks! :) I'm definitely getting ancy to get me a new camera though. And a fall moped ride on the alpine loop would be awesome!!
