Last week was my 26th birthday. 26. It seems so much older than 25. I don't really feel like I should be 26. I like to think I still feel young. So my New Year resolution (yes I realize it's no longer January) is to be healthier. Go running (when I had the baby I lost all the
motivation I once had), eat healthier (more veggies and fruits), and just enjoy every little moment of life (in other words, less TV!). Hopefully this 26th year I can feel just as young as I did at 18 when I was first entering college and whole new world of fun!
Last week my husband spoiled me for my birthday. We went to IHOP the Saturday before; they give you free breakfast for your birthday, you just have to sign up online. On my birthday he took work off to spend the day with me and the baby. He did dishes for me - I don't care for doing dishes. What a guy. For my gift he helped me out with the exercising goal and got me a Kinect with the Dance Central game. I love him. He knows me well. I love to dance. For dinner we went to Benihanas! I've been wanting to go there for a while, and then my cousin told me they have a birthday deal as well! When I used to travel to Japan for work I went once to a restaurant that cooked the meal in front of you and I had been wanting to take the hubby so he could have the fun experience. Plus Benihanas has sushi and he LOVES sushi, so it was win-win for the both of us.

| I never thought I would love sushi, but I do. So delicious! |
 |
| The chef was pretty entertaining! |
 |
| And the food was AH-mazing! So delicious! |
 |
| Even Ellie was entertained by the chefs! |
And they even give you "Birthday Ice Cream" - Haagen-Dazs ice cream. When I would travel to Japan my boss would always stop at the Haagen-Dazs shop in the metro station to get some strawberry ice cream. I couldn't resist getting it once again!
 |
| Yummy - wouldn't mind some right now... |
 |
| They even give you a free picture ;) |
It was a great day and I loved spending time with my little family. To being 26 - hopefully you're just as great a year as last!

I'm so glad you had a good birthday! Matt's so sweet to spoil you. :) My favorite part of Benihana's is the chef...their little jokes make me and Ben laugh! I know what you mean about wanting to feel young...now that we have kids, I feel like we've gotten a little more boring. Well, at least in the world's perspective. But, seriously, i'm ok with going to bed early and watching Clifford every morning! But i DO miss my days at BYU...there was always so much going on! And I miss going dancing with you and Dana Blackburn and Serena! Me and Ben decided that once Braden is old enough to get babysat, we're going to this country dance club by our house! Happy late birthday lu! Miss you! (dang that was long! sorry!)
NicE!!! You still look as pretty and young and way in shape as you were when you were 18!! :) love you baby girl, glad you had a good bday!!
Sounds like you had such a fun birthday! I love that you got a Kinect with Dance Central. We got a Kinect for Christmas and I totally use it to work out too! I do Dance Central and we also have UFC Personal Trainer and, my favorite, Jeff got me Zumba Rush for Valentine's Day. So fun! I still think Ellie is just about the cutest thing ever!
