Spoiled Rotten

Well yesterday I turned another day older, but I can now say another year older. It started out with an egg omelet and toast made by Koby and Brigg sang Happy Birthday to me. He kept asking when everyone was coming over for my birthday or when the party was going to start. :) He doesn't get that adults don't usually have as big of a party as kids. It was very cute though. I had a lot of Happy Birthday wishes, I got to go out kid-free and do what I wanted for a few hours, and then we all went out to eat at Los Hermanos. I love their salsa and chips, queso and fried ice cream. Yum!

I came home and the lady I visit teach brought me this delicious chocolaty, piece of heaven monstrosity:

Triple Chocolate Cake


Irene Doughtery is the cutest, nicest older lady! I love her! She came over with her cute husband (the stake patriarch who is so funny and nice), loaded my arms with this homemade cake (that she is famous for), gave me a card and a gift, and a hug. She always tells me she loves me (like it is common for people to throw out that endearment. Which I think should be used more often, but isn't in this day and age) and she just talks my ear off. I love visiting her and she is always sending me off with bags of goodies for my kids and Koby. She says I am her favorite "young" person in church but I know she says that to everyone- she just makes everyone feel special. I think I will adopt her as my grandma since I don't have any of those living other than a step-grandma who doesn't live close by. She is amazing and I hope I can become even closer friends with her. Hello, look at the benefits!
