My Nice Husband and family

I have to admit, I felt pretty spoiled last week on my birthday. Before the real day, I had already had a special birthday dinner at the Packers' and came home with some fun presents. The night before my birthday, Nate made me stay in my room, and when I went out into the living room the next morning he had decorated with balloons, a sign, and red roses. He bought me croissants and made me waffles for breakfast! We didn't have any wrapping paper, so he displayed his gifts for me wrapped in lovely ribbon :)

Yes, I know I look like a dork in the pictures. I'm not very good at posing by myself. After work, I found 27 notes (well, maybe I didn't find them all that day) left for me all over the house. I have to confess, Camille had to explain to me (I was on the phone with her when I got home) why there were 27 :) We went to dinner at the Garden on the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Here are a couple of pictures, but they didn't turn out great - either we were blurry or the temple was dark - I'm attaching one of each.

On Friday night, we were down in Provo for a recruiting event at BYU with my work, and went over to get together with Jake and Stacey, Dave, Camille, and even Shane came out for my birthday (ok, the truth is he was in town for recruiting, but it was nice of him to come over :) We brought them pumpkins (thanks to the Packer family Pumpkin Patch!) and they brought a cake. Yum.

This was on top of multiple emails, phone calls, cards, and presents. I was definitely spoiled!! Thanks everyone!
