Me, Ashli and Kayla--Double berry and kiwi martinisBut after we got home, Loren was waiting to deliver these beautiful roses! I'm so lucky to have him!
On Friday, I only had an 8am class and the rest of the day I was freee! So Loren and I made yummy crepes and went on a hike. We tried Stewart Falls up around Aspen Grove but it was still under heavy snow, so we went to Bridal Veil Falls instead.
See how happy we are? Even with the detour to our plans
It's called the Love Shack!It's seriously gross inside but it's a nice place to lay your blanket down and enjoy the sun :)
Here are some other pictures from our adventure...
This rock looks like an alligator, huh?
We had to take this picture but I think we're still cute and hey, we got the falls in it
After that picture someone offered to take this for us, yay!
And here's my favorite! Hehehe
Pretending to slip on, but really trying to break, the ice
This was after he and his new wife cut the cake and shared it...the messy way ;)Then we practically flew back to Provo to make it to our reservation at the best restaurant in town--TUCANOS!
Mmmm...full bellies ^_^
Saturday, the two of us just hung around the apartment, made food, did whatever until he had to go to work. I had a really lazy day but had to get ready for my birthday party that my BFF Candice threw for me! We had mocktails which were delish! But my favorite feature of the event, by far, was the CUPCAKES!!
She's amazing! She made a red velvet w/cherry filling, lemon w/lemon filling, chocolate w/chocolate filling and my favorite--chocolate w/raspberry filling and cream cheese frosting w/ a strawberry on top ^_^
The party didn't last all night and didn't include a lot of people, just good, close friends, but that's all I needed! I had a lot of fun and appreciate all the effort that was put into it! Here are some other pictures of the night:
Jordan, Ashli, and Phil
This is a fave. My roommate Kayla and her fiance Dave
This is my "oh you're taking a picture of me? Sure thing! This gives me a chance to show off my inner dork!"

Playing the animal game. Everyone has a sign and you pass "it" around clapping a certain rhythm. Sorta hard to explain but fun and easy to play. You just slap your legs a lot doing it.
Gotta have a shot of blowing out the cups of cake :)
And one of the gang! I like the personality in itP.S. Loren had to close for work again (super lame) but came later to the party. I just failed to take a picture of us. Oh well.
Then comes Sunday. That morning was a little rough on all of us I think. It was Daylight Savings which means losing an hour of sleep--very precious to college kids! But it was such perfect weather outside that it didn't matter! And because it was so nice out, I wanted us to take some cute pictures. So I snagged my roommate Ashli and we took pictures on the temple ground. Cheesy, I know. Shush. This one is my favorite
After that, we made some cookies for the ward Break the Fast. Poor Loren had to wait in the back of the line while all the girls got to be first in getting food. Don't worry, I grabbed some extra yummies and gave it to him while he had to wait in line. I wouldn't let him go hungry. Following that, we just enjoyed the day! Visited Candice some, played foosball (we each won a game but my competitive side wasn't happy about ending on a losing note), I had to take a quiz for a class and then we said goodnight.
All in all, it was the best weekend! It was spent in good company, in the most perfect weather that I could ever dream of, and lasted for more than one measly day! Perfecto! Here's to being 22! :D
