Good things for my Birthday!

Did you all tune in and watch Good Things Utah on Friday?! Because if you did you were able to see my 15 minutes of fame! Paulene and I had such a wonderful time attending the show that morning. It was really interesting to see how it is made, all the people behind the scenes and get a few freebies.


I was the only birthday in the audience so I was able to have a close up and wave to everyone, it was really very fun and exciting! I have to say the ladies look exactly the same in person, but they were very genuinely nice. Here is our photo with the girls after the show.


After the taping Paulene took me to the opening day of The Cheesecake Factory, my father in law David joined us. I have never eaten at one and being opening day we had to wait no less than 1 hour and 45 minutes to get a seat, but the food was fantastic and I ordered the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, now that was amazing!! Thanks you two for spending your entire afternoon with me!! I had a great time with you!

I have to thank Paul for his gift of my Salon evening the night before and then taking the day off of work so that I could go to the show and lunch with Paulene. We were gone longer then expected and it turned out that Abby had her first day of her new Preschool that morning so he was truly Mr. Mom that day! That night he took our little family out for wings (I LOVE wings!) so that I wouldn't have to cook dinner. Thank you honey, I love you and all that you did to make my day special (including doing all the dishes cleaning up and sweeping and mopping the floor!)

Then I was surprised by a visit from the Conroy's, Jerianne the sweet girl that she is, made me little bite size cheesecakes topped with all kinds of sweet and yummy things and they sang to me, so wonderful and appreciated.

Last but not least I need to thank all of you who took the time to call, (the Wilson serenade was fantastic!), or even sent me a gift certificate and downloads to my favorite digital scrapbook stores. Audrey and Michelle, so nice of you and I have already filled my cart!

This really was a fun birthday and I felt very loved and special. I will be posting again soon with a layout of me at 30. I loved that Jerianne did that and with Abby's help yesterday I was able to get some pictures of myself(something that I never do) and I will be scrap lifting Audrey's "Me at 35" page, I hope you don't mind :)

So stay tuned!!!
