The Big 2-5! I want to know when I got so old. I'm not too happy about it. One thing I am happy about, however, is how awesome my Birthday was. My wonderful Husband took me on a weekend trip to Atlanta. We stayed in a super swanky hotel right in downtown Atlanta and went to Coke World. Perfect for me. I L.O.V.E. coke! The best part about it was that they let you try 64 different flavors of coke from around the world. I thought I would try them all, but man the sugar gets to you pretty quickly. They did have one awesome flavor that they need to bring here, it was a green apple flavor - sooo yummy. I loved it!
That night we went out to Mimi's for my birthday dinner. They don't have a Mimi's near us at all - so it was perfect that we were out in Georgia where we could keep the tradition of celebrating my birthday at Mimi's alive. It was delicious as always. Stella wasn't too good during dinner, and acted like a crazy little kid. There was a little girl who kept coming over to stand next to our table to watch Stella. Apparently she liked her. It made me feel like I was on Newlyweds for a minute, I never realized how uncomfortable someone staring at you while you ate was. Poor Nick and Jessica. Here is a picture of Stella doing a little birthday dance for me.
The next day we went to a place called Stone Mountain Park. We really loved it. Hopefully we will one day take our kids there and spend a little more time. They had this super old bridge we drove over. Kind of creeped me out, but it sure was pretty.

This carving was started by the same guy who carved Mt. Rushmore. Sweet eh? They had to be harnessed in while carving this big old mountain. Pretty crazy. (if you click the picture to make it big you can kind of see the carving)
Stella enjoyed being outside all day.
This is Andy's dream backyard. He wanted me to take these pictures so that one day he could make one of these for our kids and their friends. I hope he can, because it was an awesome ropes course!
We watched these two people make blown glass and it was so cool. I was completely enthrawled. I probably could have watched for an hour or two, it was so rad.
Learned something new about my last name.
I thought this was perfect. We spun the wheel to get our fortune. This was Andy's... fits him perfectly!
"Smile... Let the world wonder what you're up to"And mine... perfect considering it was my Birthday and Andy had planned such a great weekend.
" A Husband that misses his wife's birthday will probably catch it later"Thanks Andy... for not "missing" my birthday, and making it such a special one for me. I love you!

It sounds like you had a great time. Happy Birthday!
Funny thing... your friend Jamie and Dan. Dan used to live in the same ward as the Bowmans in Chandler. His sister, Ashlee, was in the same grade and YW class as I was. Small world.
Happy Birthday! Yeah, turning 25 felt like more of a milestone than I thought it would be. We are old.
I'm glad you had a good birthday. It's always good to get away. It sounds like you had fun. You're so tan, as always in the summer!
Wow, looks like such a fun place to
take a trip to. And it looks like you did lots of fun things. Loved the "wheel". Pretty funny how it landed on the husband and birthday one. You and Stella look so darn
cute in the first picture. Andy,
you made her 25th pretty fun and special. Thanks.
Happy belated birthday! Looks like Andy really knows how to help you celebrate.
Looks like you had an absolute blast! Congrats honey!
ok...can I ask a dumb question? With the Mormon faith, isn't it true that you can't have caffeine? I wondered about Coke World... What do Mormons believe about caffeine? I'm not trying to be mean, or rude, I really am curious...
You guys were there right before us! Isn't Atlanta the best?!?! You need to check out the aquarium next time you go ( I didn't notice you mentioning it).The have whale sharks!
They have a Mimi's Cafe there? I noticed one near Raleigh one time. In Cali they have them on every street corner! lol
Oh! Have you been to Buca De Peppo italian restraunt? They have one in Atlanta and up near Charlotte! YUM!
