Another Year Older

So this past weekend was my 31st birthday. Lots of people asked how I feel about getting older, and my answer? Great! Every year since I've been married has gotten better and better. I anticipate much of the same in the future.

My actual birthday was pretty low key, but nice. When I woke up my boys brought cards and presents into our room, and we all lounged around in bed while I opened them. After that they ran out for a while and brought me home Dunkin Donuts. Yummy. That afternoon I went and got a pedicure (my favorite thing!), and my awesome mother-in-law brought over my favorite cake that she had made for me. That night we had a babysitter for the evening.

We went to dinner at this place we really like that is located at the end of the runway at Falcon Field airport. In addition to being able to see the planes take off and land, we had an awesome view of a beautiful desert sunset behind Camelback Mountain. We got done with dinner early, but since we actually had a babysitter, we didn't want to go home! Don't get me wrong, we love, love, love hanging out with Ryan, but it was just really nice and we were enjoying the time alone! We went and drove around Scottsdale and ended up at this really cute 50's diner type place called The Sugar Bowl where we had yummy sundaes while sitting at the counter on pink vinyl stools. So fun.

Overall it was a fantastic day. I loved that it was on a Saturday and I think the best gift of all was being able to spend all day with my sweetheart.
