!i! We Turned 28 !i!

 

Last month, we celebrated our 28th birthday!  Twenty eight!  Why does every birthday get more and more difficult.  In 2 years, we will be 30!  I never pictured my life older than about 22.  People have stopped calling me "Miss" and I have inherited "Ma'am" which is a word that I think should be banned, but that's another story.

As a 28 yr old...

I probably shouldn't shop in the Junior's department anymore.
I probably shouldn't blast my music in my car so loud that the neighbors can hear me pull up.
I probably should be eating my fruits and vegetables by now.
I probably shouldn't be reading Teen Fiction books.
I should probably be more interested in politics and world events.
I probably shouldn't be surprised when I see a missionary biking down the street and they look 12 years old.
I probably shouldn't be surprised when I see people my age that have kids in elementary school.

As AJ says, you are only as old as you feel and I feel like I am still 21.

The reality of things is that the next years of my life will fly by and the next thing I know, I will think "where did all those years go?"  When that day comes, I sure hope that I have a lot of adventurous stories to tell.  Many trips to Hawaii.  Many sceneries that can't be put into words.  Many stories that I can't get through because I am laughing so hard!  And many "you had to be there moments."

!i! My Husband, the Bachelor !i!

AJ just graduated from the University of Utah with his Bachelors degree in Exercise Physiology.  He has put in a lot of effort into his degree and I am so proud of him!  

Because we both put in a lot of effort towards his degree, I felt that I should receive an honorary Bachelor's degree, but unfortunately the University didn't see it that way.  Perhaps our next school will think otherwise and I will earn an honorary Doctorate in Physical Therapy!

Although this is not the end of his educational journey, it's nice to finish one chapter in our lives and move on to the next.  Out of 12 Physical Therapy programs, AJ was accepted into 5 and is on the waiting list on another.  In three years, AJ will be completely done...I hope.

!i! Spring Has Sprung !i!

After a dreary winter, Spring has finally blossomed in Salt Lake City!  To celebrate, we went downtown to see the flowers on Temple Square.  The blossom smell filled the air and the sun blazed through the sky!  I enjoyed every moment!

 We ate our lunch at the Nauvoo cafe which is located in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.  It was fun being in the JSMB because we had our reception there almost 4 years ago!

I absolutely love Springtime.  After being cooped up in the house all winter long, there's nothing like getting some much needed Vitamin D!
