Happy 21st Ashley!

By -

So, for Ashley's 21st birthday, (since she was the baby of the group) we all decided to go out and spend a couples night out together... 
From left to right ( Drew & Capri - Dating) (Michael & Kristin - Married) (Dom & Ashley - Married) (Aaron & Jazz - Dating) (Robert & Janeth - Married)

The only reason I gave a disclaimer, is because so often I speak of "our group" and our "husbands/boyfriends" going out or the "wives/girlfriends" are going out... and it'll get confusing THEREFORE... everyone is in this picture, aside from two.5 of our favorites...
Tim, Kaelyn, and Nikita (who are married, with a honey bun, out of the oven <3) ha!


Anywho... we started the evening at...

This awesome hip, trendy joint in Tivoli Village, actually a comfortable, modernized diner… Drew’s mom brought us here after my 21st birthday, so we figured… it’d be a great place to bring all of our friends, (since they love trying new things with us) I have more complaints than good things… the best part about our meal was what Double Helix presented as a whole… the menu, food, drinks were perfect as we’d recalled back in May. The waitress was attentive though short witted after it’d been brought to her attention that we were displeased about not receiving the happy hour menu outside of the happy hour bar section… OR we could, on the 110 degree patio. THEN we were told that this is specified on the happy hour menu… let me show you the size of the happy hour section inside bottles and burgers…



Yes, this small area, which may seat 20… was supposed to seat our entire party and ALSO the happy hour guests at the restaurant. DON’T  think so… ALSO, she added that if we’d called ahead and made reservations SPECIFICALLY FOR HAPPY HOUR, we could’ve sat in the same area, and got happy hour pricing? How does this make sense… BOLLOCKS. Forgive my language, though I was displeased with the inattentiveness from the server, mis-marketing from the restaurant’s door… and, their snarky move to send our table to the back of the restaurant.
 Now that I’m off my soapbox, we were so displeased with the service, drew and I headed to go buy liquor and mixers, oh… and cookies while the rest of them walked around Charming Charlies… 
and then, we headed over to Robert and Janeth’s house for one round of Loaded Questions…
{ Insert: fun,laughs, memories, spilled daquri, jokes, jabs, interesting remarks, 3 boxes of cookies, 
two boxes of cornbread here}
It was a top night! We hope you had fun darling… please believe, next time… there will be reservations for happy hour seats for 12 which don’t even exist but they promised us anyways… 
haha God have mercy on my snarky attitude, and please grant me the serenity to accept the rules I cannot change.

Your ninth birthday

  Audrey, Audrey, Audrey. You are hilarious, beautiful, witty, intelligent, and passionate. You are so much fun. Today you’re 9 years old. A coworker stopped me and said, “I’m so happy you’ll spend the day with her tomorrow because when she’s 18, she won’t want to spend her whole birthday with you.” And that’s so true. I’ll have to share my time. This is your last single-digit birthday. You lost a tooth this week, and it wasn’t even a big conversation. You just lost it. When it comes to looks, Utah gave you freckles—they’re all over. Your eyes are still a hazy green, and your golden locks are growing browner by the day. You still have beautiful streaks of blonde, and I love them. You’re very tall but still in a booster seat. Maybe you’ll outgrow it by 10. I’m proud of you for letting me keep you safe. You started 3rd grade at an incredibly conservative Christian school that didn’t require anyone to follow biblical values except you—so we left. You joined your first charter school, ...

Your 2nd Birthday

  Bryer boy, Bryer boy. I cannot believe you are two. I will never forget the night I went into labor with you. I went to the hospital around 10 or 11 o’clock at night on the 23rd. I remember thinking, I can’t believe he’s doing this to me. Your dad said you could come any day, and of course, you chose a day that will forever confuse me when it comes to your birthday and your actual birth date. But that’s just like you, full of surprises. And in these last 365 days, you’ve continued to surprise me in the best ways. I’m not shocked one bit. You are everything I didn’t know I needed, and someone I absolutely adore. You are completely obsessed with both of your parents. Audrey? That love is a little more conditional, but you love your whole family big: extended, chosen, and blood-related. You love to play and will play with anyone willing to join you. You spent most of the year reading books. Your favorite was Penelope on the Farm, a hand-me-down from your cousins Nick and Rylee. You ...

Your eighth birthday

  Audrey Kaydence. Today you are 8 years old. Holy cow kid. You made it to 8. Time goes faster than what I would deem appropriate but all in all you have had quite some LIFE in your years. Let’s recap the last year shall we?  You switched schools in February, which was a challenging decision, but a good one you were at a much smaller school now with a much smaller network of friends and it is healthier for you.  Your blonde hair is still blonde and your eyes are still this gray blue green. They change all the time primarily gray and green sometimes blue and green still very light still very curly. You have more freckles now than you ever have before and I am admiring watching your face with glasses as I know that contacts are coming soon to help with your myopia. You will always be my baby. I am excited to watch you grow up. You got to go to your first concert this year it almost became your entire personality. You have been a Taylor Swift fan since you were about two yea...
