Last weekend I celebrated my birthday in the best fashion possible…
With good food, friends, and treats!
The birthday celebrations truly started Thursday night when my work and I went to a cooking class at the Salt Lake Culinary Institute.
It was my first official cooking class and I absolutely loved every second of it!
I would definitely go to more cooking classes if they weren’t so dang expensive haha. I seriously had so much fun learning how to make homemade pasta, what ingredients to put in delicious sauces, and learning how to cut vegetables the right way.
Who knew cutting an onion could be done so easily?!
On Friday morning, I woke up around 6:30 am and went into the kitchen to find Will making me peach waffles for my birthday breakfast!
I am usually always the one waking up first since he stays up so much later than me typing essays so I thought it was so thoughtful of him to wake up early to do that for me.
We babysat the cutest family all weekend so Will watched the kids in the morning and let me go on walk with Sarah & Karli.
We have a walk we LOVE to do that is straight uphill for 2 miles and then back down for 2 miles. Just chatting the whole way up and down!
And I must say, I LOVED having Sarah back in town for my birthday!
After our walk, I went to Rich’s bagels with Sarah (two breakfasts are fine on your birthday, right?), went to the park with Castine, ate Dunford choocolate donuts, and I had a pretty cute visitor in the afternoon 🙂
My birthday evening was spent eating sushi, going to get yummy ice cream sandwiches, and hanging out with my family and friends.
When I was taking this picture of my ice cream sandwich cute Castine came up next to me and said,
“Well, WAIT! I want to be in it too!”
Oh man I just love her so much.
To top off the weekend, I spent Saturday morning running my favorite trail run up Milcreek canyon.
I go park my car at the top of the canyon and jog 8 miles home on the mountain bench.
It’s all fun and games until I have to beg someone to drive me back up to get my car later on in the day ha!
Also on Saturday-
Castine kept on saying she wanted to go visit her friends….
I said “Where are your friends?” and she replied “Scheels!”
Confused, we drove her out to Scheels and she took our hands and dragged us straight over to the fishes in the aquarium and said “SEE! THESE ARE MY FRIENDS!”
Cute thing.
Fish are friends not food, duh.
(little does that know that her dinner the night before was fish -__-)
We also took her on the ferris wheel at Scheels and it was probably one of the more frightening things I have ever done.
Nothing like stopping at the top and not wanting to move a muscle in fear of dying!
All in all is a was a great weekend with this fella by my side.
Thank you for all the sweet birthday wishes!
Here’s to another GREAT year!
