FEELING 23!

I feel old.  Yesterday I turned 23.  After your 13^th birthday or so, they really aren’t that big of a deal anymore.  I had a really great day though! My morning started off with me eating one of my favorite yogurts! It’s one of the Chobani Flip yogurts.  Almond Coco-Loco.  It’s soo delicious! Before D and I went to work, he gave me my birthday present.  THE STAR WARS SAGA! All six episodes.  I was so excited!! I love Star Wars.  So that was pretty fantastic.  I got to work and Ashlee (my coworker) made me carmalitas – no I cannot give you the recipe…mainly because she won’t give it to me. :(  Its classified!

About 1 oclock, Devin’s parents took me to Chilis.  I love their Caribbean Grilled Chicken Salad.  It is literally a taste of summer in your mouth.  It’s divine. 

I went back to work and the day went by pretty quickly! After work, Devin and I went to the house to paint. (FOR THE RECORD: I wanted to go and paint.  It was totally my choice to paint on my birthday.  I was just dying to see what our master room would look like with the trim finally finished) Our house is looking SO GOOD!  We’re planning on moving in on Saturday. (March 4^th)    

We were waiting for my siblings to get home from YM/YW’s before going to my parents house for a little “party”.  My mom made me my favorite birthday cake.  Funfetti! I have seriously had this cake every year since I was like 3 years old.  I just can’t break away from tradition.  She did however tell me that I needed to “grow up” *insert eye rolling emoji* so she added pudding to it.  Apparently pudding is “grown up” and “hardy”.  HAHA! After we ate my “grown up” and “hardy” cake, we opened some gifts.  Lindsie had everyone sign a card for me.  I keep every card that I get and it’s so fun for me to go back through and look at what people have written.  Mom and dad got me a new pair of capris, a new purse, and some face wash that I keep forgetting to get.. so mom just threw it in there for me.  Really, it’s the little things! Ha!  Allie and Sean got me a Hobby Lobby gift card.  I love that place.  Poor Devin when I start decorating the house..

Derik and Devin bought me an Air Fryer.  I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS MACHINE.  It’s like having fried food, but not in oil.  We are so excited to try it and see if we can have that “fried food” taste without the extra calories from oil!

I’m so grateful for everyone that took the time to wish me a Happy Birthday!  Dev spoiled me as always and I am enjoying getting older with him.
