Birthday with the Boswells

Last night my birthday celebration continued with a visit from my family. They went all out this year and made me feel really special, I have the greatest family. First my dad brought in a new shelf that I asked him to make for us (it looks awesome!), then we went out to dinner at Costa Vida, next my mom took me and my sister shopping to get a birthday outfit, and we ended the night with cupcakes and singing. I could not have asked for a better night with my family. I am always happy to have them come visit our place. Thank you Mom, Dad, Missy, and Marty for making this the best birthday so far!

I'm thinking about painting it white?

It's finally all coming together! 

In other news: My dad sold the family van this week.. it was a sad day for the Boswell family. For anyone who knows my family, we've had the van or the "wan" as we affectionately referred to it as for 20 years. That beast took us on many a family vacation, and in the olden days we would sleep in the van instead of the camper we have now. My mom's favorite story about the van was back when we first got it, my brother and I were babies in the back seat and we were so far away from the front where my parents were sitting that my mom chucked animal crackers at us to keep us fed and entertained. I loved the annual rides in the van to see Christmas lights, and I'll never forget the other family adventures we had in that thing like getting stuck in the mud at Yellowstone. We'll miss you Van... 

Wendy turns 22

Today I turned the big 22!

I have to say today's been a pretty great birthday. Marty did a amazing job of making me feel special. First he took me out for breakfast, and then we made a quick stop at the Abbott's to see the puppies. Next we went out to lunch at Costa Vida and then he took me shopping and bought me a new outfit. We finished the day with home made pizza and watching Eclipse. Pretty good day :) Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday!

It's going to be Legend, wait for it...

So February kind of slipped away from me and I hardly got any blogging done...

So here's a little summary of what we've been up to lately:

1. Marty and I got hooked on a new show, this is where most of my free time went last month (you can probably guess from the title what it is).

{I will be making this as a result}

That's right thanks to netflix we are hopelessly addicted to How I met your mother. If you've never seen it you should definitely check it out, it's one of the few shows that actually makes us laugh out loud. We were busting up to the episode about couples dating couples the other night... Single friends, you think dating is hard? Try dating to the power of two... It's not as easy as you think to find a couple that really gets "US".  Although we have found some real gems of couples out there (you know who you are :) ).

2. I've had a ridiculous amount of home work the lass few weeks (including a 12 page paper).. Thank goodness spring break is next week!!!!

3. We had a dinner party and the a movie night with an adorable family in our ward, the Mickels (they have the three cutest little girls in the world). We watched the Iron Giant, I forgot how awesome and funny that movie was.

4. Marty helped Jill and Brian move into their new house last weekend (in Salem, UT) and today is their 1 year anniversary!

{Happy Anniversary! ♥}

5. Marty worked for his dad the last few weeks to stay busy and he's officially back to work today! 

6. I turn 22 on wednesday...  

7. I randomly drove down to Sandy to hang out with my little sister and it was one of the best nights I've has in a long time. Family really is everything. So glad I get to be with my family forever! 

8. Marty and I are now addicted to looking at houses. We probably won't move for a while but it's fun to plan ahead and give ourselves some motivation to keep working hard. We're kind of liking North Ogden as our future hood... who knows where we'll end up? 

9. We've been rediscovering music on my i tunes... It's funny how certain songs conjure such strong memories. I definitely miss my gangster phase.. ;) 

10. The weather has been so amazing this year that with the exception of last week; I've been driving with the sun roof down.. and I've already been wearing flip-flops... Ah! I can't wait for summer!

11. We've lived in our apartment for a year! and I just met our upstairs neighbors for the first time today... They're actually pretty cool. Will someone please tell me why apartment neighbors are so hard to get to know? I mean we share walls people! 

That's all I think of at the moment... Don't let the lack of blogging fool you, we had an awesome month! I promise to post more this month! 

Have a beautiful day! Enjoy the sun ☼

... DAIRY!  :D
