20 Days of My Birthday

By Aubrionna Robison -
I am spoiled and I have the best mother and fiance ever. I'm not exaggerating. My mother gave me a gift everyday for 20 days before my 20th birthday and my fiance picked up, wrapped and delivered the gifts. They're so sneaky but it was so fun and I felt so special!

The first day started when Dan was in Denver for an internship expedition. While he was gone I wasn't able to talk to him very much because he was busy with interviews, dinners and marketing with companies. So when we called me randomly on that Thursday I was super excited to hear from him.

He was like "Hey I need to you run over to my apartment really quick!" I asked for what as I made my way over there and he said he needed some security code the company had given him to get into the building. I didn't realize how ridiculous this sounded until afterwards. As I looked in the drawer where he said it was I found a card with the tag DAY 1 with my mother's handwriting. That was the start of my 20-day birthday.

Day 1 Walmart gift card for $20
Day 2 Earrings

Day 3 these beautiful flowers

I didn't get a picture of Day 4 but it was my favorite candies :)

Day 5 Forget Me Not picture book from Uchtdorf's talk

Day 6 Forget Me Not Willow Tree Figurine
My mom has always gotten me these :)

 Day 7 $50 gift card to fill up Oliver (my car)

Day 8 Lotion, lip gloss and hand sanitizer

Day 9 Captain America

Dan 10 a necklace

Day 11 iTunes gift card $25 

Day 12 PENGUIN SNUGGIE!!

Day 13 My favorite shower gel and loufa

Day 14 Two cute v neck shirts and an adorable denim feel pencil skirt

Day 15 Cocoa Bean cupcakes. DELISH!

Day 16  Olive Garden gift card $50

We got all dressed up and used the gift card to go out the next night :)

Day 17 You Are My Sunshine Willow Tree Figurine

Day 18 DVD player and Toy Story 3

Day 19 A sewing machine, a case and basic sewing needs

Day 20 A special ring from my mommy :)

Her birthstone (sapphire) and mine (ruby)
Definitely my favorite gift :)

This morning of my birthday was started to open my door to this

and see signs like this EVERYWHERE




My wonderful roommates Annie, Megan and Kristin decorated the apartment for my birthday :) It definitely made my day and it made me feel so special and put a smile on my face in the morning. Dan took me to class and made me breakfast. Classes were uneventful but right afterwards Dan and I put our swimsuits on, made a lunch and drove out to Rigby lake. Compared to anything else in Rexburg, Rigby lake is great because there sand, grass, water and SUN! We layed out and relaxed, got in the freezing cold water, ate our picnic. It was so perfect!




It was PERFECT. Soaking up the sun, eating sammiches, watermelon, cookies and chips. Spending the day not doing schoolwork and just relaxing with my future husband in a swimming suit I feel super cute in. Awesome. Then we came back and scrubbed all the sunscreen off (we were so good and didn't get burned :) ) Dan gave me the gift he got me- a new Scentsy which I LOVE! We got ready to go out to Da Pineapple Grill with my friends. Da Pineapple Grill is a Hawaiian grill in Rexburg that also has amazing sushi! It's so delicious. My amazing roommates and my cousin Kelsey joined us for dinner and it was so great :) 

Love these girls! And Dan :) Our stomachs were so happy :)

We came come a relaxed in the happy state of full stomachs. I skyped with my parents, I think Annie took a nap and then late we were hungry for cake.



note the new Scentsy in the background!



My roommates obnoxiously sang me happy birthday and complete with moose tracks ice cream, the cake was delicious! Thanks mom :) All of us were pretty tired and some had homework so we threw in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and I ended my birthday cuddled up to my favorite man. My birthday was amazing. I have wonderful parents, the best roommates and friends, and a fiance I can't wait to marry. Those around me made me feel so special on my birthday and so many people with things above and beyond that they didn't NEED to do. I feel so loved and so blessed. Thank you guys for making me feel so loved. It was a perfect day :)

Dan also 'gave' me another huggggeeee gift that I haven't mentioned because this post is long enough. I'll make a post soon about some potentially big news for our future, the blessings of tithing and how our 4th went today. Check back! Happy 4th Everyone :)

So I've given this a lot of thought and with some advice from Dan the man, we've decided to go ahead and make our blog private from now on. This means that only those whose emails are on my readers list can view it. WHY Lately I've been thinking about the publicity and the openness of the internet and I don't want my security and my family's security to be a worry because the things I post on my blog. I realized that the reason I am blogging is; 1) For me as a journal and to record and read back on fun memories and 2) So family and friends can stay in contact and feel like we're apart of each other's lives even when we're far apart. Although the page views of all my Facebook friends and others reading my blog has been really nice (I'll admit, I like the numbers) I've realized that I enjoy some privacy more. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? This means that if you would like to continue reading our blog that I am going to need your email address...

We had a lot going on this weekend! Some good. Some bad. I woke up to this Friday the morning What a great way to start a Friday morning without work! I seriously have the kindest man ever. He's so thoughtful After he got out of class and before I had class we snuck in a last minute temple session . Who knew it would be so packed on a Friday mid day! I rushed (because I hate being late) but it was so worth it once you get there and just feel peace . That evening after classes and homework, we drove down to Idaho Falls for a family BBQ the evening before Logan and Amanda got married . The BBQ was great and I loved seeing all my family and meeting some of Amanda's family. I even got a picture with Sister Bullock :) All while this was happening my parents were supposed to be making the trip to IF and be there for the BBQ. I had heard briefly from my mom that Dad wasn't able to get off work and that they would be late. Then it got the point they wou...

  Love My boys! Nate's face! Brooks being silly Another round of sickness in our house. Brooks always seems to get a headache, spike a fever, pass out somewhere and wake up later feeling most of the way better. This time we ended up getting cold symptoms afterwards. When I got sick I was tested and whatever it is it's not covid. Dan got it last and was sick into February. It was lingering so he tested again and it was again negative. So whatever we had was mild, still not fun and stuck around forever. We have this cute bible book about Noah's ark. Carson starts looking at it and pointing to Noah says, "Santa Claus!" Oh. yes I can see how you think that haha. So we kept telling him no, it's Noah. He points to Noah's wife and says, "Mama!" hahaha so I'm either Noah's wife (they look very old in the book) or Mrs. Claus. Not sure whether to be offended or not haha! We sold our small freezer and upgraded to this beauty! I love it! I love being...
