Project 22 Complete!

My Project 22 is complete!

I started this project a year ago (see here), and I'm happy to say that I took a picture every day for a year.  It's been a really fun project, and it's really cool to go back and look through all of the pictures.  Granted, many of them are boring, and don't mean much to anyone but me, but I can honestly look at any picture, and revisit the entire day that it was taken.  It's been great for my memory! :)  

If you haven't been following, here are my favorite pictures from the year:

March 2010: Golfing fun in Mesquite!
 
 April 2010: 4-wheeling at Bear Lake.
 May 2010: Jayce, in her true essence.
 June 2010: The perfect example of our stupidity.
 July 2010: Tubing at South Fork.
 August 2010: The affirmation that I am not an idiot!
 September 2010: Fun times with Car and Brew Brew.
 October 2010: Dave's way of showing affection. 
 November 2010: The "Blizzard of 2010"...we survived.  It was a dud. 
 December 2010: Temple Square with Krystal.
 January 2011: Warm sunset on a chilly night. 
 February 2011: Midnight Wendy's run!
       March 2011: My 23rd Birthday!


I've been thinking about doing a Project 23 for awhile, and I have decided to do something different.  I am already doing another photo blog for 2011, here, (which has taken me awhile to get up and running, but it's current now, if you're wondering)!  I'd really like to spend this year on journaling.  As in actually writing in a journal.  Project 22 is great and will be something to cherish, but I really want to start writing down more personal things about my life. 

I've decided that I want to scrapbook my Project 22 photos, so I imagine that is going to take up a lot of my time as well.  I can't wait for school to be done so I can get some real time to work on it.  I'm really excited for the finished product.  (More on that to come, I'm sure). 

23

Yesterday was my 23rd birthday.  Dave was so sweet and surprised me by taking me to this really nice restaurant in Salt Lake.  It's called Lugano, and it's REALLY good. 

Here are some picture's from our dinner. 


Everything was plated so pretty and it was so delicious.  This dinner was definitely the most expensive dinner we've ever had.  My husband put it best when he said "We're allowed to pretend we're rich once a year."  :)  If the amazing dinner wasn't enough, he also got me this:
  It's the Roku.  It's a box that we connect to our TV, and it also connects to our computer.  Its compatible with Netflix, Pandora, etc.  Bascially, now I can watch pretty much whatever I want!  We haven't had any TV since we've moved and it's been quite the adjustment (for me) :)  I think I've watched all our movies and DVD seasons more than a few times.  :)

Thanks so much for the wonderful birthday babe.  Also, thanks to my family for the wonderful week.  I've eaten out three times this week, thanks to my family, and it's been great!

Disney On Ice

When I was young, my parents would often take me to Disney on Ice becuase it was always showing the week of my birthday.  I stopped going quite a few years ago, for obvious reasons.  :)  This year, my Dad bought all us girls tickets to Disney on Ice.  We were able to go back for nostalgic purposes and it was so fun.  Thanks for the great memories growing up and from tonight Mom and Dad!  Here's just a few photos from the night:

 We went to the Gateway before the show to grab dinner and shop.  We went into Anthropologie (and saw that it was WAY out of our league).  Sorry if you shop there, but those prices are outrageous.  And the people shopping there made me want to gag.  You have to be a special breed of person to pay that much for what you're getting.  I will say this though, they had a pretty neat window display, pictured above.  ^ 

ANYWAYS.... enough about Anthropologie.
 Me, Megan, Carlie, and my Mom
Here's my super awesome light-up snow cone for the night.  

It was so much fun.  Make fun of me all you want.  It was awesome. 
To quote Carlie: "Was I one of the oldest people there?  Yes.  Did I sing the loudest?  Of course."
