My 28TH BIRTHDAY!!!

On my birthday we came home from our little vacation in Park City.

It was such a nice day (I got lucky and got sun instead of snow).

All I wanted to do was get my hands dirty and plant stuff in my new garden box (thanks to TJ) and plant flowers in my new pots I ordered from the amazing store CRATE AND BARREL.

So I left the girls with TJ and went to the nursery.

I am no good at picking out what flowers go with what and putting arrangements together.

Needless to say it took me FOREVER to decide what to buy.

And I need to go back for more!

Back in April I asked TJ to make me a garden box.

Last year I stuck a tomato, pumpkin and strawberry plants in the ground.

Keeping my fingers crossed they wouldn't die.

They got HUGE!

That little experience has given me this drive to TRY and garden this year and see what will happen, so I needed a box.

And TJ made me the PERFECT box (such a handy man).

This year we will try our luck with more tomatoes, bell peppers, pole beans, and onions.

I still want to plant another pumpkin plant and plant some carrots and broccoli in the fall.

I'm really excited to see what happens.

Also excited to eat strawberries and peaches of the tree!

Here are my pots.

Hopefully they don't die.

It was a great birthday! Proboly the best in awhile. I love being outside with my family. TJ and I went to dinner at Tucanos that night and stuffed ourselves.

I really wanted to go rollerblading up the canyon but it got really windy and cold.

Tessa made me a video of all of my family member and friends and neighbors saying really sweet things to me.

I cried...a lot.

Sometimes you never know how you can affect other people lives. And it's good to find out when you have influenced it for the better. It was a great pick me up (since I had been feeling so low lately). Really it was an answer to my prayer and I'm glad that Tessa was in tune with the spirit to answer it.

You never know who is looking at you.

It's a good reminder to always try and be a good example.

Today was an awesome day.

We went to the post office.

Had a picnic lunch at the park.

Played outside the rest of the day (and got fried)

Went on a family bike ride.
