I'm feeling 22...

I feel like this post is appropriate since I just had a birthday. I know I'm still young to most but honestly I always thought 21 was a big deal when it came to age. I feel like time and I are not on the same page. It's funny because when people ask me how old I am I have to urge to say right away "19!" Haha I think because the year I turned 19 it was everything for me!

 As poor as my husband and I were when we first got married I look back and think to myself I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.  I feel as if marriage has helped me grow up in ways I never would have thought possible. We didn't have much money but we still managed to make things work and have fun. 

Earlier this week I went to lunch with my grandma, my dad's mom. She is seriously my favorite person besides my husband:) we went to Chillis and we talked and talked. After I left I got emotional thinking about all the time we spent together while I was in beauty school. She lived about 10 mins away from school and would make me lunch EVERY single day. Sure I was grateful but looking back I don't think I can express with words what it meant to me. Even though most days it was Mac and cheese and a frosted brownie I will never forget how good I had it. She has never missed a single one of my birthdays and never believed in gifts so I always got a card with a $20 bill. When she made the comment before I got in my car that day "I don't see you enough anymore" I was really torn. Since Kaden and I have been married I have maybe been to her house 4 or 5 times. As much as I would just like to use the excuse "life gets busy" I should be making time out of my schedule for her. I know I owe her that much! 

Since my birthday was on a Sunday we decided to celebrate on Saturday. We went to dinner at Olive Garden with my two uncles and their sweet families. My uncles for the most part were more like brothers to me than they were my uncles. I can't complain, they are pretty cool:) 

Sunday we spent the day with Kaden's family and his mom made dinner for us! She really is too sweet. We love her! 

Monday night we spent with my family laughing and giggle about the dumbest things but I will take what I can get:) 

As always some pics for you:) because what would post be with out pictures to look at. Haha 

My hot date Saturday night;) 


Heading to Idaho on Sunday! 

I had a great birthday and was spoiled as always!
