I'm Old

This past week is when it happened.

I turned 20 - TWENTY.

How crazy! I am no longer a teenager! Today I was able to say that for the first time. Someone asked me how old I am and I said,"twenty!!." Just kidding I said, "twenty," in a very grown-up mature tone.

So besides my birthday other things happened this past week:

My old roommate Emily got MARRIED in SL, UT. Haha just kidding, I saw that the other day on a t-shirt and I think it's pretty lame. So I went to Salt Lake before Emily's wedding to spend my birthday with my sister, Jill. It was so fun. We went shopping, ate lots of yummy treats (Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory caramel apples?? Yum!), and Nattie made a wonderful, delicious, cookie cake for me! I am not joking when I say that I miss it. I wish it was still here with me right now. So I could nibble (inhale) it as I sit here, writing this blog post.

(It was a sugar cookie with cream cheese frosting. OH MY I am drooling at this very moment)

(Nattie made the cake! At Smart Cookie)

(Dinner with my fam and Emily! So glad she came to see me!)

The day after my b-day was Emily's wedding day! I went to her luncheon at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, what a beautiful building! I love it. And when I was about to walk into the revolving doors, L. Tom Perry walked out.. I know I KNOW. I got a really big smile on my face so he knew I recognized him. He then smiled and said, "Hello!" in the most cheerful tone. I even managed to say, "hi" back! I'm glad I was running a little bit late haha.

Anyway the food at Emily's luncheon was delicious, Emily & Brady's parents talked for a minute, then Emily's Grandpa sang to the newlywed's. Emily's husband Brady also sang to her! It was so cute. 

(Okay I look disgusting, but Emily was a gorgeous bride!)

After the luncheon I hustled back to Idaho for one of my closest friend's wedding, Ashley! She is the sweetest girl and I am so happy I was able to go back to Idaho for her reception.

(This is back in 2008 at seminary graduation, but it's all the same:)

I then got to celebrate my birthday with my friends!! Joy and my little sis threw me a party in Rexburg. I didn't get any pictures though :(

All in all it was a really fun birthday week and I am so grateful for the people in my life that made it so fun!

Bye bye 2010, hello pictures!

Alright,  I talked to 2011 and he (she? I couldn't tell it was dark) promised to be good to me this year! But I don't want to forget about 2010 so I am going to follow the crowd and post a PHOTO RECAP 'YALL! It will be nice & long. But pictures are always fun to look at, right? Right.

Okay so I don't have any pictures after Christmas, but that's my year in pictures. It wasn't the most exciting year but I definitely learned alot about myself and I can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for me... new job? In laws? Mission papers? What? We shall see.

I'm not way into New Years resolutions but this year I want to keep myself busy while having balance. I want to be efficient and get things done! What are your resolutions?
