On Sunday, July 22, I turned 24-years-old…and I just happened to be in Hawaii (which I did not take for granted — I’m sure that was a once in a lifetime thing!). I woke up to a birthday card on the comforter, courtesy of my new husband. I heard him rustling around before I got up, and sure enough, he was filling out my card 
. He told me that I could choose what we did that day, so the first thing that we did was go to breakfast. We upgraded to the all you can eat breakfast buffet, and I ate plenty. I’m not normally a juice drinker, but that guava juice (the pink stuff) was so good!
After breakfast, we went to the gym for a run. He doesn’t enjoy working out as much as I do, but he enjoyed the treadmill TVs and didn’t complain at all ! After a good run, we hung out by the pool for a while, before going to the spa! Jordan booked a couples’ massage, a new experience for both of us.
Before the massage, we each hung out in separate locker rooms. I sat in the hot tub and steam room for a little while, and then we were off to another room for our massages. Honestly, I wasn’t too thrilled with my masseuse. I was sore from my run and I wish that she would’ve used more pressure, but I’m guessing she was gentle since I told her that it was my first massage. That hour just flew by, and after filling up on some chocolate covered macadamia nuts and fruit-infused water (lunch of champions), we were back to hanging out at the pool before dinner.
That night, we went out for a sushi dinner and Haagen-Daz ice cream.
It was the perfect ending to my birthday! And it’s okay that I didn’t have a cake, I celebrated with my family the weekend after we got back from vacation, and got to make a wish then .
I only have one honeymoon recap left, so if you’re getting sick of them, the end is near . Have a great Tuesday!
How did you/will celebrate your birthday this year?
Aw what a fun birthday–and how cool to celebrate in Hawaii! What an awesome experience! A couples massage sounds awesome!
Oh man, that sounds like a perfect birthday! So cool that you got to do that!
What a great birthday!!!
lol no idea what I’ll do this year. I’ve had pretty small birthday celebrations the past two years since I don’t have many friends in Chicago, my brother usually does something nice!
Aw, that’s nice!
I’m just hoping mine will be better then last year. Georgetown Cupcakes will help
I’ve never tried guava juice but it sounds delicious…my birthday was in May, and though I had a great day I didn’t get any cake! I told my husband he really needs to make sure that never happens again
Happy (belated) Birthday!!
I’m not sure what we’ll do for my birthday this year (it’s in a month from today!). Hopefully we’ll at least go out to a nice dinner! I pretty much always want to go out to eat for my birthday!
Thank you! Going out to eat is always nice, that’s what we usually do too
.
You can’t beat a birthday in Hawaii! How fun!

I absolutely loved reading all of your wedding/honeymoon posts! Your honeymoon looked amazing and it makes me so excited to get on mine in a few months!
Thank you for reading them! You should be excited!
Perfect birthday – you are 8 days older than me
I had fun looking back at your honeymoon recaps! ….You will LOVE all the work you put into those posts- it’s fun to relive it when your memory isn’t 100%. Great job getting it all down. AMAZING!
Your birthday looks and sounds perfect! What an amazing way to spend a birthday!
Thank you! I was afraid that I’d bore everyone, but I did want to write them for us, so we’d have something to look back on years from now!
