And Another Year Has Passed...

Well, this past week I celebrated the big "38"! I can't believe it. Where does the time go? When I got home at 12:45 a.m. on Thursday morning, Melo surprised me with an I-Pod Touch. I was so excited, but upon opening it, I had no idea what it was, so I had to google it. He thought that was pretty funny. I am so excited to have received it as a gift. He is too good to me. I love him so much and am so grateful for him in my life! HE just gets me and he takes such good care of me. :) We celebrated with what time we had as he was going out of town the next morning. Upon waking up he had flowers waiting for me. They were beautiful! So I proceeded to take him to catch his ride to leave and he told me to go get a pedicure and a manicure. So I jetted off and it was heaven! Again...he is just the best!

Since my nephew and I share the same b-day, my sister made it our day as she proceeded to spoil us all day with suprises! First we went to my other sister's work and ate lunch at the "Hard Times Cafe". She works for the Utah Department of Corrections, and onsite, the prisoners that are on FastTrack and those that are studying culinary arts, work in this cafe. IT was delicious! We enjoyed spending time together and it was fun to see where my sister works, she even bought us all lunch! She is too great! We had brownies at her office and just caught up. It was a lot of fun!

We then proceeded to Ogden, as my sister surprised us both with a session at iFLY. iFLY you say? What is that? IFLY My sister took us up there, I was so nervous! I proceeded to watch the 5 minute video and was freaked out! :) Then I had to go gear up. I was starting to feel like I couldn't breath and here my nephew was all excited ready to go! I had to be brave. He went first...he loved it! He had a little delay as he got a bloody nose because the air was so dry, but jumped right back in. Then it was my turn! I was so hesitant that it took my about 2 times to finally have the nerves to just fall in. After all the worry, I have to admit it was a lot of fun and felt pretty cool. I would like to try it again soon. I hopefully can attach the video soon! However, after I was so stiff! The wind is strong and it pulled my arms back so far that I am still sore today! :) Just gettin' old, I know.

After we went to dinner and had pie at my sis's house. It was a great day!

The next day...I went to go meet Melo up in Logan! What a lovely drive! We stayed at the Beaver Creek Lodge It was so beautiful. We ended up being the only ones there that evening. It was just beautiful. We went to Bear Lake and had dinner at a really cute restaurant and just drove around. It actually started to rain...so we decided to jet back to the lodge. Upon our drive back, it started SNOWING! I couldn't believe it. We got back to the lodge safely, after much anxiety, but we made it! We just lounged around and hit the hay...the next morning we had such a beautiful sight! The mountains were covered with snow and it was absolutely gorgeous! We went to grab breakfast and just enjoyed the view from the parlor. It was great! We then drove back into Bear Lake and drove to Idaho to get lotto tickets and grabbed a quick raspberry shake! We then went to the docks and it was freezing but we just had to see the water. After, we started our decent to Logan. Upon arrival to Logan we stopped for lunch and jetted back home. It was a great drive! I didn't want to come home, but we were both beat! But I have to tell you it was the best birthday weekend ever! I'll never forget it! Ü
