Bryan's Birthday

It's kind of hard to believe that Bryan turned 27 and this is his third birthday we've celebrated together. It seems so crazy to me in some ways. Well, I don't know about Bryan, but I thought his birthday was pretty darn amazing. Probably because I began the day getting all glam-ed up, going to get lunch, getting mani-pedies, going shopping, picking up a cake (all with Korina) and not getting home until after 4pm. So my day was pretty eventful already. But it's not like Bryan was sitting at home that entire time. He went and played frisbee like he does every Saturday morning and I'm sure he enjoyed some alone time without his clingy wife around. 

 This year for Bryan's birthday we went to Chef's Table. We had some gift cards and a Groupon and so only payed $40 for a $130 meal. Now that's how you pay for dinner! Chef's Table is really pretty on the inside (even if it does seem out of place). If you look at the picture below it has this whole French castle thing going on in the middle of Orem--overlooking a trailer park. Luckily the trailer park is covered with overgrown trees so you don't notice it. Still, pretty random. But like I said, the inside was really nice and the service impeccable. They keep giving you new silverware depending on the meal you ordered. They even seat you and place the napkin on your lap for you. How often do you get that? The food was pretty good too. It's no Communal, but still, it's not your average restaurant. Overall, a wonderful experience. Will we be going back? We'll see.

 Me and Bryan all dressed up. And I don't know why I always look tired in pictures. I blame the camera because I look great in person! (And I love my lace shirt.)

We actually opened gifts before we went to dinner because we had so much time before our reservation. This year wasn't like the past couple of special occasions where I've gotten him one really expensive gift (like his tablet and leather jacket and watch). Not that I didn't want too, it's just that I couldn't think of anything! This boy is so lucky that he already has everything!! Or he wanted something I wasn't willing to purchase without him being there like an accordion or guitar. So this year was multiple little gifts. One was practical (socks), one was fun (his electric helicopter pictured below), one was sporty (new frisbee shorts), one was lazy (Lord of the Rings Trilogy extended version on Blu-Ray) and one was for the both of us (I think you know what I mean). I think he really liked them all and obviously couldn't wait to try out the helicopter.

After dinner we decided to rent The Muppets because we hadn't seen it yet and it wasn't anything we had to get too involved in. Overall I think Bryan enjoyed his birthday. Plus we had a Lord of the Rings marathon the next day on his real birthday! It was a great weekend! Happy Birthday my love!! You are the most amazing husband and I am lucky to call you mine!
