Happy Birthday to Sav!!!

alright ladies and gentlemen, my birthday is officially over. all yesterday i was a bit sad because i hadn't heard from Riley about my birthday at all. and to be honest, i was a bit upset that he hadn't thought ahead of time and sent me a birthday note or anything. sooooo here is what i did on my birthday. i made some super bowl cakes, which turned out DANG cute if i do say so myself!

 

so i finished the cakes and then Kat came over and brought me flowers :) that made me happy! we helped Paula get ready for their super bowl party. and Lauren was going to come over while Dal was watching the superbowl in Lehi, so we (the girls) planned to make headbands. so we ran to the store to pick up some stuff. when we got back, Paula had set up to do a birthday cake and presents for me. so i had told Jenny that i didn't want a birthday cake, and joked about just wanting a birthday Kiwi... so Paula took that and made a fruit pizza for my birthday.. so Kat was like aww thats cute you get a birthday Pie... which anyone that knows Riley knows that he's the only person to do a birthday pie instead of a cake. and for some reason those two words actually made me cry... i'm a bit emotional these days :) anyway so we had my birthday pizza pie and it was delicious. here's some pictures.

  

  

 

so ya that is what my birthday looked like. all things considered, it was a good day! so here are a few pictures of the headbands/clips i have made recently... i like them along!

 

  

anyway... so today i knew that my inlaws were sending me a card so i made the quick drive down to my moms house to check the mail this afternoon. after i was super sad that Rye had forgotten my birthday, i got out to check the mail. grabbed a bill for me, my package from Curt and Shellee... and then i grabbed the rest of the mail to bring to the house so Phil could get HIS birthday cards that were in there. then i saw an envelope that had my name. bigger than a bill. i grabbed it without thinking. and then recognized the handwriting. and i started to bawl!

what was inside you might be asking yourself.... 

and i won't read you what it said... but it was DANG sweet... ok maybe i will type it... cause it's nothing too personal. and i had to read it like 3 times.. cause i couldn't get my eyes to dry! he wrote this on a short break on monday. so it's messy, and PERFECT! and yes i've edited out certain things that are NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS :) 

Hey babe, i kinda have to write this fast so sorry if it's short. i just wanted to tell you I Love You so much. I can't picture my life without you. you are my strength that is keeping me going. everytime i feel like i can't run or get over something, i think of you and it gets me through it. i have 24 more days left and counting till i get to hold you in my arms again, THAT IS SO SOON :) It's coming up soon babe. i hope you have a wonderful birthday and i am sorry i can't be there. when we get together again we will celebrate all of the things i have missed out on.

I love you babe, i will see you very very soon
