That's a Wrap on Romney's 2nd Decade

Well, now she's 20. It happened - I'm down to one teenager! And I have a confession. Since I'm writing this so far after it happened....I can't actually remember very well what we did for Romney's big Two-Oh.  I had to call her and ask her. Birthdays are a little different when you're older! She reminded me that she had to work that day and it was kind of low-key, plus she had a friend party on a different day. 

We met up in the evening and went to a Vietnamese place for dinner called Little Saigon over in Sugarhouse. So super delicious. I got pho and drank every last drop. And then back to our house for treats, presents, and a movie. And...it was kind of late for a movie so instead we watched Parks and Recreation. 

Gifts? Lets see. I gave her a new little backpack because she likes stealing mine. Emma gave her a cute little fried egg stuffy made by Jelly Cat and also a pair of earrings. I'm dying a little bit. I can't remember what else!

Despite the very low-key birthday, it is always delightful to celebrate our Romney Ann. She's just so fun and pleasant and supportive and wise. She loves being with us, she loves going on drives and getting drinks and chatting about all of the things, and helping me pick clothing out. She has been working so hard - she started a couple of new jobs over the summer, first at Great Harvest and then with the local school district working in their after care program. I thought she'd hate it (probably due to the times I had to substitute teach at the elementary school and despised it) but instead she's thriving. She's taking care of herself and in a super lovely positive relationship with the most wonderful boy. I'm just so proud of her.
