My SUPER Birthday Day

I just turned 23...I feel kinda old.

My wonderful husband made sure I had a "Super" day. After getting to sleep in, I woke up to a hand made card telling me about my super day. He also posted superman signs all over the apartment to remind me how super I am. I took one of those and stuck it on my stretchy pants and wore it all day... SUPER TUMMY!

(25 Weeks)

The table was covered in presents for me :)

He got me an 8" frying pan (I've been wanting a new one for a long, long time), shampoo and conditioner, and a digital kitchen scale... woo hoo!!!!!! 

Oh and later a HUGE box came for me with the most fantastic maternity pillow ever. I'm not sure how I slept without it before!

THANK YOU JEFFREY!!!

We made sure to visit all 3 Joe's restuarants to get my $10 of free birthday food (Liberty Market, Joe's BBQ, Joe's Farm Grill). We also celebrated our niece's birthday at her Princess Party.

Basically, my whole day was just fantastic and best of all, I have a SUPER husband who loves and adores me. He is the most amazing, thoughtful, loving, joyful man in the world. I can't even dream up a better man, because he is the man of my dreams :)

Thanks hun for loving me despite my getting old :*

Oh and the birthday goodness continued for a couple of weeks since both of our families had a birthday dinner for me! Thanks family!!

Counting Down

Last year was the first year I didn't have a countdown to my birthday. With dating Jeff and getting engaged, I had much better things to countdown to...like our wedding!

This year, who cares about my birthday. I'm looking forward to the birthday of our precious little boy! Only 110 days (give or take a few!) left or 15.5 weeks or 3.5 months. However you want to look at it : )

Oh my little baby boy how I am so anxious for February to come so I can finally hold you in my arms (instead of having you bounce on my bladder). Your daddy is really looking forward to you as well. He already loves talking to you and kissing you. He's going to be the best daddy--he's already the best husband :)

and PS
There are only 4 days left until my birthday :)

I used to be this cute :)

Happy Birthday, Mom!!!

Happy birthday to the most wonderful woman in my life...my mom. We look nothing alike on the outside, but on the side we are very much alike.

I love her so much. She is incredible. I pray that I can be even half the mother she is because she is that amazing. She has been the greatest example of faith I have ever seen. She has the best sense of humor and we love to laugh. We always say, wherever we go together, it's a party! I'm so grateful for all she's done for me! I'm glad we live so close so I can enjoy her on a regular basis.

I love you so much, Mom!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday My Love!

Jeff's birthday was last month and since we are both ridiculously busy all the time, we had to spread out his birthday celebrations over about 2 weeks.

First, a birthday dinner at the Hunt's House...


On his actual birthday, we celebrated by eating a fabulous ice cream cake made by his adoring wife. Mmmm....I think the birthday boy looks better than the cake!


The following night, we went to ASU Gammage to see the Broadway Show, "Mary Poppins" (No photography allowed, hence the blurry pictures...no flash!)




The next of the birthday festivities was a birthday dinner at the Brintons...


Finally we had an evening where we could celebrate his birthday together...
Welcome to Café Brinton!




On the menu was Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo (complete with homemade noodles!) with sauteed vegetables, salad, garlic bread, and to top it off ice cream cake! (leftover from the other cake I made him)

I married the most wonderful man in the world. I'm so grateful that he's part of my life!! People say marriage is hard (and I'm sure hard times will come eventually) but being his wife has been the easiest role I've ever had. Jeff is an amazing husband though so it definitely helps me be a good wife. I am so lucky...no "blessed". It brings me such joy knowing that I can have him forever. Happy birthday, Babe! I love you!!!

I Forgot

For the first time in my entire life (that I have memory of!) I forgot it was my birthday. If you know me really well, this probably is a shocker to you. But I have a countdown to something even better: my wedding to Jeff Brinton! It's been a while since I last posted, but Jeff proposed on November 3rd. I have never smiled so much in my life! My cheeks were burning! We're getting married January 8th in the LDS Mesa Temple.

So when I woke up on my birthday I was so wrapped up in wedding plans I completely forgot it was my birthday. My mom had to remind me! Instead of getting normal presents that day, I got my wedding dress :D Pretty good trade off, no?

My birthday actually lasted all weekend long. But my most favorite present of all was what Jeff gave me...my real ring! Yay!!!! He proposed with a ring from Walmart because my real ring wasn't in. I would have been so happy to just have that ring, but I love love LOVE my real ring. I still find myself testing the light in a room to see how it makes my ring sparkle :D hehe.

The wedding is in 5.5 weeks!! I am so excited to marry my best friend and the most amazing man I have ever known. I am the luckiest girl in the world. I get to be Mrs. Jeff Brinton. Mmmm I like the sound of that :D



I love you Jeff!
