Taylor's 24th Birthday!!

Taylor's birthday was on a Sunday this year, since I had to work on Saturday we celebrated on Friday night. I was really excited about Taylor's presents this year.. everything we got was on major sale which is always nice and on top of that I found two sweaters Taylor has been wanting forever but were either too expensive or sold out for Christmas. Needless to say, he had a really good birthday!! And he looks amazing in his new clothes!!

I let him open a present early (on Friday before we went out) and it happened to be one of the sweaters he was really wanting - a complete surprise! We headed up to Salt Lake City for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, we had a gift card from the wedding and it seemed like the perfect occasion. Oh my heavens, their food is AMAZING. We don't eat out much due to our diet restrictions so it was kind of amazing to splurge for a night. I ordered the Louisiana Chicken Pasta (I will order every single time - so dang delicious) and Taylor got the Fettucini with Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomatoes (he loved his as well). For dessert we scored big time with the Oreo Dream Extreme Cheesecake (Taylor's favorite!! so so yummy) and the Key Lime Cheesecake (my favorite!! SO amazing).

On Sunday I made Taylor pancakes for breakfast and then we taught in nursery and I had the kids sing a song to Taylor - then we spent the day at his parent's house. We had a really nice dinner and Texas Cake!!, opened presents, then watched Mitt - the documentary on Netflix. We stopped by my parent's house on the way home so they could wish Taylor a happy birthday as well and my mom made Coconut-Key Lime Pie that I had pinned on Pinterest. It was REALLY good - I highly recommend it.

Taylor is now 24. I can't believe we are getting so old - we celebrated our first birthday together when he turned 16. I am so grateful for my sweet loving incredible husband - he truly brings so my happiness and joy to my life. I am so blessed and grateful to have my best friend with me for eternity.
