36 Years Old

A few months before Ryan's birthday, he mentioned that although he'd been in Chicago for almost 8 years now, he'd never seen Blue Man Group.  I saw it in middle school and it's definitely one not to miss!  Unfortunately there aren't any pictures of the birthday boy.....Oops.  But while he went to get the car, I took the opportunity to meet the guys.

26 years young!

As usual, I we sooo excited for my birthday!  I start reminding family and friends months in advance using what I like to call "Courtesy Notices".  I firmly believe that on one's birthday they should practically be worshiped.  Ryan always takes the day off which is so amazing.  We began with a date to the Temple to do some sealings!  It was such an amazing experience!  We also went to dinner with my family to the same restaurant that we go to every year, Ron of Japan.  Afterwards, Ryan and I went out to see a movie; Guardians of the Galaxy.  Great flick!

Family is Forever!
