24 years old..... wow is all I have to say, and for those of you thinking "young spring chicken" I am a firm believer that people are as old as the life experiences they have had, and not their biological birthday age. I have met some old people who have the pesonality of a 18 year old, and vice versa. I feel a LOT older than I am, but I have had some experiences that have made me that way. Anyways, my birthday was TERRIFIC, couldnt have asked for a better day, we got up early and headed to Heber to ride the Heber Creeper, which growing up in Wallsburg I have been on the train a few times, but honestly it was better this time. As parents we go places (Like Chucky Cheeses, swimming at the rec center, etc) that I really HATE going, but I cant say that about this trip. It was honestly SO MUCH FUN!! It was so breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL down Provo Canyon, to the point it tears my heart out and makes me so homesick I cant stand it, because face it everyone.... Vernal is not a pretty place to live. The kids LOVED the train, they were so good, I was worried that a 4 hour train ride would result in tragedy. We sat on the outside car, which was a little chilly at moments, but hot chocolate and cider cured that. The ride went all the way down to Vivian Park and then back, what a great view of the canyon and Timpanogas that you dont get to see when driving down. So I got some great pics, so bear with me as I will post most of them. Then after we took the kids to see both of their Great Grandmas, which honestly, I REALLY do think I have the best Grandma's in the WHOLE world!!! We left Brynlee and Caeden at Grandma Allred's in Heber while Dave took me to dinner at Ruby River (YuMmY!) with my best friend of 10 YeArS~~ Chelsea McPhie (I guess Neerings now) and her hubby Kirk. It was really a good time, good company, good food. Couldnt have asked for better! I also would like to post a SpEcIaL thanks not only to Dave who really was so great about making sure I had a good birthday with no stress, but to my Dad. Thanks for letting us stay the night at your house (I promise, no rugs were washed this time, I moved them for Caeden to pee) and thanks for the birthday card that made me cry, and thanks for the new jeans and wallet you bought me... how did you know thats EXACTLY what I wanted?? :) You are the BEST Dad ever, couldnt ask for better, love you more than you'll ever know! Thanks for the Birthday wishes from everyone else!!
