I'm 26 Now

Girls nights are the best! My good friend Stacie planned a birthday girls night out at the Cheesecake Factory for me and my friend Megan. I was about to say that Megan is the one with the pink shirt and blonde hair, and then I realized that describes two girls in this picture. They coincidentally wore the same shirt, but Megan is the one just behind me and to the left a little. 

All these cute girls are in my ward. I love our ward, and I love hanging out with all these girls.

Here's Magan and I with our chocolate birthday mousse. 

The next day was my actual birthday. I loved having my birthday on a Saturday this year because I got to hang out with Scott all day. It was also fun to have it on Easter weekend. Stacie watched Boston Saturday night while Scott took me on a fun date. We ate at a yummy restaurant called Corner Bakery, and then we did some shopping. That's my kind of date. I'm glad my husband grew up with four sisters. :) 

At the end of our date Scott took me to The Container Store, which was organizing heaven. I was impressed that he planned that all by himself. I didn't even know about this store until that night. I'm working on re-organizing all our closets and cupboards, so I told Scott all I wanted for my birthday was organization stuff. I guess you know you're getting old when your birthday list changes from clothes and girlie stuff to organizing stuff. 

I love this wrapping paper organizer. The back has pockets too for tissue paper and gift bags. 

Here's a couple of the things we picked up that night at The Container Store (minus the wrapping paper organizer). I'm about half way done with my organizing/Spring cleaning project! The kitchen, and Boston's bathroom are done, and the living room will be done as soon as I wash the couches. Then I need to finish our bathroom, our closet, and Boston's room. I'm excited to feel organized again. I was starting to feel cramped in this apartment, but re-organizing is helping a lot. Cooking feels so much better and easier now that the kitchen is done, and I really love my new pan rack! It's so nice not to have to dig pans out anymore. 

Boston picked out this cute Little Mermaid card for me that sang when I opened it. He was so excited to give this to me. It was cute, and also one of my favorite birthday cards ever. 

It was such a good birthday thanks to my good friends, family, and my two sweet boys!
