Kyle and I had a great day on Monday, June 1st, which happened to be my 21st birthday!!! First off, I had to work that morning from 7:30am to 2pm. I was a little bummed about that, but since my younger sister, Amy, was here visiting Utah to go to EFY, she and Kyle came in to the Bookstore at about 1:45 and gave me a huge surprise! I was working and all of a sudden, a random guy comes to me and asks me if my name is Stephanie. I said yes and then he hands me a rose and says Happy Birthday! I had no idea who he was and why he was giving me a rose, so at first it was a little weird. Then I started catching on, especially after 18 other people, some who also work at the Bookstore and others just some random customers, started piling in and giving me more roses. Amy was the 20th rose to come along and she also came in with a poster and she and Kyle made with a picture and note Kyle wrote. Kyle then popped out with the 21st and final rose and wished me a Happy Birthday. So many people were looking and wondering what was going on, but it was so cute and amazing! I had a lot of fun with it.

Later, Kyle and I had to drive Amy up to the airport to go back home, so we decided to stay in Salt Lake City and then went to the Hogle Zoo while waiting for our dinner appointment at 7pm. For dinner, we went to The Garden. It is a restaurant on top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. They had the roof open on top and it had a gorgeous view of the temple! It was such a good day, and I have the most amazing husband in the world! He does so much for me and I am grateful for being so blessed!!

he is so handsome!
