I am now 21!

Last Thursday was my birthday!!

It was a great day! I woke up and made some french toast; then my sister and I watched, sh, High School Musical 3. I love that show. hehe. Then my family came home and had me open my gifts. I got a magic bullet blender, Bolt!, a really cute contact case, a dress, headphones, and some other things that I can't quite remember at the moment. It was so nice. I am so blessed. Then our family had to rush off to Provo for my sister's graduation. It was very long, but I am so happy for my sister! She is amazing and I can't believe she is done with high school, or that I'm 21 really. After graduation, we went to Texas Roadhouse which is outright delicious (I like the word "outright," I just decided) . Then we saw Up. I thought it was so cute. It made me cry both out of cuteness and sad stuff. cute, cute cute. Afterwards, we went home and ate my delicious chocolate pie from Costco. yum. My sister and I talked until late and I think I bought some songs. Lucky for me, the birthday celebration did not end there.
Friday, I invited some friends over for a barbecue. I'm so grateful to my family. They are the best; when I was at work all day, they prepared for my party. It was wonderful. I haven't been very social since moving home and I loved seeing my friends. We ate and played games. Then we went to the park and played. There were some majorly cool things and it was fun. I love my friends. :)
Saturday, Tasha, Drew, Ben, and I went to the zoo. It was fun. I loved seeing all the animals. I love seeing all the amazing things that God has created. I loved being with my friends again, and I am so happy that Ben got to come because he's amazing. I went from seeing him everyday in March and April to going a month without seeing him. It was sad, so I was happy to spend time with him.
I thought that would be the end of my celebrating, but I was wrong. On Monday, thanks to my wonderful boss and friend Tasha, I was able to go to Lagoon with Ben and Drew and their friend Ruben (sp??). It was so fun! We went on all the great rides (well, except tilt-a-whirl, but that's ok) and got wet and everything. Ben and I did this catapult ride that cost extra money. He paid and was so nice. The ride was AMAZING. It felt great and gave us cool views for just a couple of seconds. Lagoon was great. I am so glad I went.
These past few days my emotions have followed the path of the rollercoasters that I rode. But, I have had so much fun, and I have so much to be grateful for. I love my life and my friends and my family! I am incredibly blessed and excited for what life holds!

*hopefully, I will be able to put up pictures soon to go along with my adventures

I'm repetitive. I know.

I love my friends so much! I don't even know how to say how much I love them and am grateful for them! My best friend in the whole world is my sister- Kaylee. I miss her. It's hard not being with her. My roommates-Lauren, Jess, Chelsea, Becky, and Bari are amazing. They are some of the best girls to live with. They are very kind, generous, and amazing. I love them! Some of the other people I spend time with lately are apt 46 friends- Ben, Drew, Jason, Tyler, and Joseph; also Tiny, Tasha, Sean, Alison, and lots of people. I love all the people in my life. I am so blessed. People are so great! Thank you to everyone who has blessed my life so much!

Be with you . . .

I love love love my family, my friends, and my roommates! What would I do without them? LOVE

Love Love Love

I love life! It is wonderful! I love my friends, and music, and snow, and rain, and sunshine, and roommates, and quotes, and movies, and books, and chocolate, and Christmas, and lots of things! Right now I am working on a take-home final, and listening to music. I love it. I would rather be with friends, but I have to do my final. It's pretty easy, to be honest. I have been thinking about things that make the Christmas season great. One thing I love is how people who you otherwise would never hear singing just can't help but kinda sing along to Christmas songs. We've just known them our whole lives and all know them. It's pretty exciting. The second thing I was thinking of is the fact that you can be all sentimental and cheesy, and you don't get as weird of a look as you would get at another time of the year! I love cheesiness and sentimentality, usually; I'll admit that sometimes it just isn't good. Another great thing about Christmas is family. Family is so great. I'm so glad that I know that families can last forever. The last great thing I'll say about Christmas is that you get to give gifts! I absolutely love giving gifts! Giving gifts is seriously so fun. I love thinking about what people would like and then seeing their reactions. I like giving anonymous gifts because it's fun to be sneaky but I really miss the seeing their reaction part. I hope everyone has a very wonderful Christmas!!
