I don't know why, but this year I was actually super excited for my birthday! And it definitely exceeded all expectations! Thanks to Connor.
Have I mentioned he's the best?
Thursday evening, he told me he had two surprises for me... but he left it one at work! (Lol)
Friday
The first one was getting my hair cut! I needed a haircut for soo long but never made time to get one, so he made time for me. Eee! After I got my hair cut I drove downtown to have lunch with him (my favorite) and he gave me my second surprise -
a mani, pedi, and massage! What! I was so happy!
I don't remember the last time I had a mani/pedi... really, I don't.
It. Was. Amazing! I may have enjoyed it a little too much.
Afterwards, I picked Connor up from the train station and we went to get him new glasses!

They had a PhotoBooth - how cool is that!?
(yes, he's choking me in the bottom pic. lol) |
On our way home, we stopped at Walmart to get a RedBox, and somehow, Connor (super sneaky) bought me my faaaavorite flowers when I walked away for a second!
He set them on a bench and as we walked by...
C: "Aren't those the flowers you like?"
Me: "YES!!! Those are the ones! I haven't seen them at Walmart tho-"
C: "Well they're yours!!"
Eeek!
Definitely one of my favorite parts of my birthday. :)
SATURDAY
We woke up at 7:30 A.M. and drove downtown to do a 5K walk for diabetes put on by the American Diabetes Association!
(as some of you know) The ADA helped out the Razor Crusaders with our Ride for Diabetes! They're the ones that hosted the big finish line party/carnival, had the stage brought in, etc. They're awesome! They invited the Razor Crusaders to be a part of the 5K walk for diabetes in Utah and Connor and I were sad we couldn't make it. So we figured we'd help support by doing the walk here in ATL... That just happened to fall on my bday! Lol.
It was at Turner Field (the Brave's Stadium)
The first two laps were around the stadium/blechers.
The third and final lap was walking around the field!
It was a fun adventure! We got to experience a little bit more of the Atlanta culture here!
(Drumline... dancing... and some crazies (below). Lol)
Got to wear my BIRTHDAY socks!
After the walk and getting ready, we went to.... COSTA VIDA!
Of course, it was amazing! :)
Then we drove to the Mall of Georgia to shop, shop, shop!
After shopping until we couldn't shop anymore, we came home to this...
I go teaching with the sister missionaries sometimes and I guess mentioned when my bday was, and they remembered! It was really sweet of them!
All the texts, calls, and letters from everybody made me super happy!
So THANK YOU everybody!
My favorite letters were from my favorite little munchkins - Sydney and Kyler! Sydney's card was a cute, sweet, "sister" card, and Kyler's was adorable and made me laugh really hard! I could only imagine them picking out the "perfect card" for Lecki. ;) They're the best.
My bday couldn't have been any better!
Connor made sure my day was PERFECT in every way.
I l o v e him!
OOO! I also (randomly) got to be on the Atlanta news this week! LOL!
My whole birthday week was just amazing! Florida, I got more time with Connor than usual, being on the news, all the surprises, adventures, and just everything!
Most certainly one for the books. :)
November 7th & 8th, 2014 (BIRTHDAY).
