Happy Birthday to Me!

Normally I don't make a big deal of my birthday.  In fact, I prefer not to talk about it (especially when you turned 26, ugh).  But this year (Sept. 27) I had an AWESOME birthday (thanks to the incredible Ben), so I have to brag about it. 

First, he surprised me by arranging for me to get off work early.  I walked out to my car, to discover it had been decorated:

From there he sent me on a scavenger hunt, where I started gathering a huge collection of gifts (I wish I had taken more pictures, but here is my final stash (including candy, Season 1 of Glee, Boggle, a puzzle, a necklace, a vase of Stargazer Lilies, and a dress {he took me shopping at the mall}):

Finally (best surprise ever!) we drove to the Ogden Airport, where Ben had arranged for a friend to fly us to Provo to go do dinner (also, it's important to note, I got to FLY the plane at one point. Yeah, I'm awesome): 

 We flew right at Sunset, so we got a GORGEOUS view!

I was SPOILED, and it was the best day ever!  Thanks Ben! :)
