Birthday Bash!

Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
I had a WONDERFUL birthday weekend!!!! Spencer is such a great husband, and I just love him so much!! I spent the day lounging and relaxing, my wonderful mother took me out to lunch (girl time! ) And then Spencer and I headed up to Salt Lake to meet up with some friends. We did a little shopping, then went to dinner at Tucanos! Yum, hu? I mean, who doesnt like endless meat, and grilled pineapple?! I know I sure do. 




After dinner we headed over to Temple Square to see the lights! I absolutely LOVE this time of year, and especially all the Christmas lights found everywhere... but I must admit, Temple Square does it best. They definitely know what they're doing, and as usual, it was gorgeous! We went on a Saturday night, so unfortunately, we were totally eaten alive. The gobs of people there.. it was unbelievable! I now have a glimpse of what Joseph Smith felt like when he was in the middle of a mob. I swear if Spencer wasnt standing directly behind me as a shield, I would have been trampled, and left for dead. Note to self: never go on a Saturday night. I dont even know if I'll be brave enough for Friday night!! Im thinking Tuesday. That should be a calm mild evening. We'll shoot for Tuesday night next time. However, we did have fun, and I always love seeing the Temple all lit up at night. The phrase "Look and Live" would definitely apply here as well. Sometimes I wish I could live on Temple Square. Now, obviously that is not possible, because then I'd be a bum.... and Im not. At least not on a normal occasion. But back to my original comment, its just so beautiful!
Seriously, who WOULDNT want to live in a castle?
I saw someone comment on a picture of the Salt Lake Temple one time and this is what they said, "Wow, that is BEAUTIFUL!! Is that a castle or a church?!"
Is that a castle or a church? Well, sweetie, its kind of both. Its a Temple. 
And this is what it looks like in December, with Christmas lights.
Isnt that beautiful?!
We had a blast walking around with our friends Chad and Kristin. Chad had NEVER been to see the lights, so this was a new experience for him!! And of course, we were all laughing our heads off, because when with the Roschers, thats all you can do!
