BeSt BiRtHdAy EvEr!!!

Considering my birthday was over a whole week ago, I guess it's finally time I write about it. So it's official, I'm 21, now Caleb and I can really party, wink wink. But really, 21st Birthday equals best birthday ever. I woke up in the morning to find our living room glowing. I figured Caleb had left the t.v. on or something so I went out there to turn it off and this is what I found...

Definitely no t.v., just Caleb's black light! It's official, I have the most creative husband in the world. He wrote my card on a big piece of poster board with a highlighter. He laid out all of my presents on the couch and turned on the light. As you can see, the light made my card and all of my presents glow! It was so cool, and so fun. So what did I get for my birthday?! The PINK bike I've been wanting forever. My mom got me some new asic running shoes, yay, and also a super cute vest. Caleb and his parents also surprised me with bike shoes and clip in pedals. The shoes are of course, pink and black. And thanks to Ash I got a gift card to Forever 21, my favorite store. Wow! I am blessed.
Here's a picture of my PINK bike!


As my day went on, it only got better! I went to school, but did not have to work! Yes, I took the day off. Caleb did have to work so I decided to go up and eat lunch with Mom and Dad. Dad even took the day off, I'd like to say just for my birthday, but I think he went hunting that morning. :) But at least he didn't go back to work, in fact he worked on my bike and my shoes for a few hours that afternoon. Anyways we went to Cafe Rio, my favorite, and they gave me a very sweet journal which they each had written in. They said the journal is for Caleb and I to write in only for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and one day, babies! Best idea ever. It was fun to read their notes. Thanks mom and dad!
Next I came back to Provo and Caleb had another surprise for me... he ordered us tickets to The Forgotten Carols! I always talk about this, and even listen to the music all year round. Yes, I'm one of "them" and I'm proud of it. But I will admit I love the music so much more when it actually is Christmas time. And guess what?! It's that time of year. These songs are what make me feel the true spirit of Christmas. We had awesome seats. It was perfect, perfect, and even more perfect!
Thanks to everyone for all of the birthday wishes. From the time I walked into my first class and by the time I left, I had 6 new text messages, and four new voicemails. The kid next to me finally said I think something's wrong, your phone won't stop buzzing! I felt the love from everyone... so thanks Dad, Mom, Aubrey, Chris, Andy, Shay, Mike, Erin, D, Jake, Jessie, Ash, Sarah, Paul, and Cindy. And a special thanks to Porter who sang the entire birthday song to me, Sammie who repeated Happy Birthday LaLa over and over, and Paul and Jacko for the sweet messages. They all made my day! And BIG thanks to my babe who made the day PERFECT!
And just for the record Andy and Mike, no need for the suggestion of knee pads, elbow pads, or a helmet, I have successfully clipped in and out of my pedals... yes withOUT the help of Caleb, and this has occurred on more than one occasion! So.... ha.
