Turning 32

I had a great birthday this year. I turned 32 and it feels pretty good. My actual birthday was exhausting since we had only just returned from our trip. Sterling had to work late and so we planned to go out on Friday and celebrate.

He still managed to bring home the most beautiful flowers. This bouquet of Gladiolus' was insanely beautiful. He also surprised me with a new wheat grinder which I have been wanting for a long time.

Here I am with the bouquet. This picture is evidence of just how exhausted I was. The flowers are my saving grace here.

They were way too big and tall for any vase we had. I'm not completely sure they make vases that can hold these beauties. Look at them.

Luckily we had a really attractive bait bucket on hand that did the trick. The flowers are so gorgeous that you hardly even notice the bucket. I love everything about these flowers, bucket and all.
I don't have pictures form our amazing date night. We went to dinner at the Carlyle, a restaurant that I have been dying to try for years... Most amazing food ever. After, we went and saw the Bourne Legacy. I don't even remember the last time we went to dinner and a movie but it was a ton of fun. My fabulous friend Sarah watched the boys for us which made the night even better. We didn't worry about them for one second. That is our second date in 2012... Good thing it was a fun one! THANK YOU SARAH!

On Sunday, Sterling made me my official birthday dinner. I know, I was spoiled. We had Matt and Eliza and their kids over for the dinner. I don't have any picture pictures of the actual delicious dinner but I did document the boys making homemade ice cream for the dessert.

Here are the boys "helping". I'm quite certain that we got more than enough salt on that ice.

Sterling is so good to let the boys help with anything he does. No wonder they adore him.

The boys sat patiently with the ice cream while it churned, making sure that everything was working properly.

They made Chocolate Mint Oreo. It was out of this world... Just ask Dellin.
Like I said, I had a great birthday and was completely spoiled. As I look forward to the next year, it only makes me smile.
