22

One year older and wiser too… thats right, I'm 22! Chad spoiled me to pieces this year… I really don't deserve it… but that hasn't stopped him for the past 3 years. He surprised me with a a fancy bike (Revenio Carbon 2.0 to be exact). Don't get me wrong, I love my little beach cruiser, but it was time for an upgrade. Now, Chad is going to have to keep up with me ;)

Along with the bike, he surprised me with a pair of Nike free runs, a Polar watch (heart rate monitor and calorie counter, I'm obsessed with it!!), a magnifying mirror that I have been wanting to hang in our bathroom, a pack of Supersonic car washes (clean car = a happy wife) and a couple Kitchen Aid attachments. Somehow he managed to keep all of it a surprise, which is pretty impressive if I don't say so myself. Isn't he amazing?!

I had the day off of work, so I tried out my new Polar watch and ran 3 1/2 miles at the gym. I have started to love running again. I met up with my sister, Christine, and mom at Zupas for lunch. I took advantage of the beautiful Spring weather and laid out on a blanket in my backyard. I ended up taking a nice, long nap and getting an awesome tan ;) A perfect afternoon.

Chad surprised me with an hour massage at Alpine Spinal Rehab. It was probably one of the best massages I have ever had… it was incredible. We went to my favorite restaurant for dinner, La Jolla Groves, in the Riverwoods. I always tell myself I will try a different meal, but the beef medallions are just too good, I end up getting it every time.

It was a perfect day to start off my 22nd year. I am so excited to see what this year has in store for us. Here's to being 22!
