my birthdayyyy

Yes its a bit late.  But can we talk about how I am 21?  Weird!  How did that happen?  My birthday was so great though.  I woke up and Katie and Kaitlin made me pancakes and had a sign up for me.  Adorable.  The pancake was even in the shape of a J.  Just saying thats pretty cool.  I went about my normal day and when I got to work the board outside was saying happy birthday to me.  Exciting!  (Thanks Al Al).  Then I went inside and got some candy and balloons from Michelle and Nat!  Adorable!  Us sisters went to Red Robin for dinner!  Linds met us there and brought some friends along.  It was delicious of course and a lot of fun with everyone!  I then went home andddddd THERE WAS A SURPRISE PARTY FOR MEEE.  Man oh man was that a treat.  Looking back now there are a few things that should have clued me in.  For one at Red Robin Kait kept saying we need to hurry because Katie was waiting for us to hang out at home.  I knew Katie wanted to do something but I was like she can probably wait and its rude just leaving Linds and her friends.  Turned out everyone at my party had already been waiting for 45 minutes...Sorry guys. :)  Then a friend of ours Matt knew it was my birthday earlier that day and I was like how do you know that?  He said he just knew because he is a good friends.  Turns out the party was why haha.  Also, I kept wanting to invite lots of people to Red Robin or for cake later but Kait never seemed to fond of the idea.  All makes sense now.  It was fun seeing everyone and I just loved it!  Here are the only pictures from the event (thanks to syd). :)

My family came into town that weekend!  It was SO great seeing them!  Man do I love my family.  We went to the football game and conference.  Han got her picture with Jimmer too which made her life.

sure was a great birthday!  Birthdays are my favorite, too bad its over. :)

where i liveeeeee

Welp this is a bit late.  But here are some pictures of where I live.  I live in a cute duplex with Kait and then two girls we went to Germany with, Katie and Keri.  It is the best thing EVER.  I've never known all of my roommates and who knew it could be so great.  Me and Kait share a room and this is it.

Do you folks remember my last apartment?  How you could barely fit between the two beds in the room?  Well, this is a huge upgrade.  We have lots of room.

 And this is the biggest closet I've ever had.  Yea, exciting.

Then for our downstairs.  Look how much spaceeee!

We currently have a fort in our living room. :)  Katie and her boyfriend built it and we are going to keep it around.

Also, most of the decorations are from Katie.  She painted those flowers and the door.  Yes, she is cool.

I think I am going to live here foreverrrr.  It is so close to campus.  And spacious.  Yay.
