goodbye 23

I had a Birthday. I feel as i start to get further away from 21 that i am not as excited about my birthdays as i used to be. When i went to Utah State at just barely 18 years old i felt like a baby. I would tell everyone, "i am almost 19"then when 19 came i would say, "i am almost 20" then at 20 i was thrilled because i was ALMOST 21! Well those days of looking forward are done. I will just accept my age for what it is.

I had a great birthday! Nothing is better than spending it with friends and family. All my family lives in Vegas so they skyped and sang me Happy Birthday. They celebrated with cake, my birthday and my sister-in-laws birthday, which is only 5 days after mine. I had friends over: Jake and kAra Nesbit, Laurel and Dan JEnsen, Andrea Cranney, RAchel Schulz and Cameron Peterson. We enjoyed food, cake, and playing four on a couch, Boys vs. Girls. I am happy to report that the girls were victorious!

The best part of my birthday was my sweet husband. I never knew he was a poet but here is a little poem he put together:

Dear Blaire,

You really are great.
I met you and wanted a date.
I asked, you complied - and then you thought I lied, but the truth? - it was only implied. (the free ticket)

Then time went along, and our hearts they did long so a marriage we hoped to make strong! There were some dates we set but just one that got met and I haven't a better date yet!

So Of things it is said, that from one they are lead till at last they are lead to another. Now a baby is growing and good things you are sowing, and "my word!" you will soon be a mother!

So dear mother to be, who is sweetest to me lets keep in this mode we are in, until two and then four and then four others more we'll arrive at the prophesied 10!

Oh the places you'll go with a full brood in tow, and the chances to learn and to grow. But one thing will stay true, those three words, "I love you" so thank you my dear Blaireby-boo.

I love him! Don't know what i would do with out him by my side. To conclude this all...It was a great birthday!
