My 19th Birthday

For my 19th birthday, Tanner took me on the most wonderful date! We began by going to "The Roof" for dinner. (A very expensive, yet beautiful restaurant on the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building) They had live piano music played on a beautiful, clear grand piano, and the pianist even played happy birthday for me :) Tanner and I decided that one day we will be rich enough to eat at places like that all the time. We felt so grown up!
This was our GORGEOUS view! Taken right out of the window that was a foot away from us. I think Tanner was trying to tell me something... ;) We were able to watch the last part of the sunset as we ate. After dinner, we headed to Kingsbury Hall to see a soul music concert in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. (It happened to be Martin Luther King day and my birthday)
The concert was phenominal! I had an absolute blast. Tanner and I even stood up to sway and clap to some of the amazing music :) My favorite part of the concert was the mime choir. I had never heard of a mime choir before, but it was one of the coolests concerts I've been to.
On our way back to the car, we stopped to walk around Temple Square - it was absolutely empty and SO romantic. We took a lovely stroll through the square and stopped to take some pictures in front of the temple.

The picture of our feet was our atempt at trying to set the camera on the ground and use the timer. Like I said, the place was empty. Luckily some people walked by and offered to help. But I thought it was a cute picture anyways :)

This was one of the best birthdays I have had! Tanner always plans the most amazing romantic dates and I love every single one! I had SO much fun! I'm nervous to try and plan a birthday date for him that will measure up...

Lunch and the Library

Tanner and I went to Salt Lake last Saturday to go to lunch and then study at the library. Lunch was great! We went to Leatherby's.
We both had their delicious chicken fingers and then split dessert.
It took us FOREVER to get to the library though. I didn't think it would be that hard to figure out which trax to ride, but apparently it is...
We were so cold and tired that by the time we got to the library we were both in the mood for a nap, so we didn't get much studying done... Definitely felt that on our first anatomy quiz today. We both bombed it. Another saturday at the library tomorrow...
