Twenty- One

*Thirteenth Birthday*

* Twenty- First Birthday*

Everyone loves a good flashback, am I right? My mom posted a picture of 3rd grade me on my Facebook wall and everyone came to the conclusion that I look the same. Haha its true.

The evening before my birthday, Kenley, her roommate, Emma, my Mom, Mike and I went to PF Changs for my birthday dinner after Kenley's choir concert. Those lettuce wraps though. So addicting! On my birthday, I had to go to school and finish up student teaching in Payson. Mike had a "reading day" to prepare for BYU finals, but he spent the whole day preparing for birthday surprises.

He made this impressive  blueberry cheesecake from scratch. It's pretty much a work of art. And he bought me these ankle boots that he picked out himself. So, major husband points there.

I've been wanting to go mini golfing for a while, but Mike surprised me with Miniature Croquet at Provo Beach Resort ! Didn't even know that was a thing but it was just as fun. We ended off the night watching Tangled just like last year. I guess that will have to be a birthday tradition. It was a perfect day full of fun and no lesson planning (for once).

Just a little Update...

Tomorrow we will have been Mr. & Mrs. Reynolds for 7 months! I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. There are still so many wedding pictures that have not been posted and our wedding video filmed by a friend that I have not shared yet! Since being married we have completed two more busy semesters at BYU. Mike is studying Civil Engineering and will graduate with his Bachelors in about 2 years. I, on the other hand, have been completing my student teaching this last semester and I am graduating with my BS in Family and Consumer Sciences Education next week! I am excited to be teaching Foods and Teen Living this Fall at Diamond Fork Junior High in Spanish, Fork Utah. Mike and I love cooking, singing, and watching movies together (when we're not doing homework, or grading/lesson planning in my case). We are busy and tired, but loving every minute of married life!
