With the kids napping and me trying to avoid having to do anything genuinely productive, I thought I'd post a blog about my birthday. It was last week, but I feel like it has been a nice stretched out celebration around here with all the gifts I've been getting and fun we've been having. Brad and I went out last weekend and the weekend before and celebrated on my birthday by Brad making steak and carrot cake. YUM!
My awesome in-laws got me a gift card to
Sephora so I got to go get my make-up done and buy some products I liked. They do the consultation for free and didn't make me feel any pressure to buy. It was so fun! I was going to put a picture of me wearing the make-up, but that would mean I'd have to actually do my make-up and it's not so much a make-up day today!
Brad took me shoe shopping at
DSW where I got these killer heels. I LOVE them! I expected Galla to be equally enamored with them since she loves to play with my shoes, especially the dressy ones, but when I put them on and asked her if she liked them, she simply said, "nope." Later she noticed the bees and bugs on them, though, and decided she does like them.
My parents got me this beautiful panoramic
picture of the Oakland Temple. I know on top of the fridge seems like a random display place, but if you've ever been to my apartment you'd know that it's great because it's so visible from the entry way, living room and kitchen. I love the tone it sets in our home and the reminder that it is of how blessed we are. I certainly am very blessed in so many ways. Thank you to everyone who celebrated my 26th birthday with me. Who says that getting old isn't fun? I wish it was my birthday everyday!

OH MY GOSH, I love your shoes!!!! If I could do heels again (it's been about 3 years and 20 lbs. ago) I would copy you and get a pair for myself! Sweet, and you're even prego and chasing 2 kids around, I dare you to wear them on your next walk to the park. Happy Birthday my fellow aquarius - mine was on the 6th!!!
Happy late birthday, Maylin! I'm glad you have had so many celebrations!
Yeah so, I read, "26th Birthday" and thought, "Wait, she can't be 26. We were freshman roommates which means we're the same age, and I'm not..." Then I realized I am turning 26 this year. Holy crap time is flying!

I do love the heels! You have got style!
Cute Kicks. I wish we (or at least I) could come visit sometime! Hopefully we will at least be able to visit when you move to California. Even easier if you moved to Colorado because it's awesome here, and we could play games all the time.
May, I'm so glad you had a good birthday! I LOVE those cute heals! I'm so glad you posted about your birthday. I was thinking about you all day!
I love your shoes and I am sure it was nice to get out and get pampered with someone else doing your make-up! I love the picture of the temple. I feel the same way, it brings a different mood to the house. Love it!!!
You are so good at documenting your daily life. I love it. You're an example to us all. And I love these shoes....they are so you!
