Birthday!

Well today I woke up at nine fifty and took that bath that I so desired. I listened to my I-pod while I just relaxed. After my soak I found a note from my dad wishing me a happy birthday. I also recieved many phone calls and texts and facebook posts. I then did some ironing and watched Anne of Green Gables (my favorite movie of all time)! Rachels kids sung to me a beautiful rendition of Happy Birthday (even Royal was involved). Then Debbie not only called me at one in the morning but she called me with kevin and Ethan to sing Happy Birthday to me! They did an awesome rendition! I loved it! Then my parents knowing I love sushi went to Harmons and bought me some sushi. My dad then hearing my subtle hints about him getting me flowers for my birthday got me a beautiful plant in a pot that fits me perfectly. After we all ate lunch together he went back to work and I buckled down and studied for my test tomorrow morning. After that I took a power nap! Then after that I started back to saying thanks to people who sent me birthday messages on facebook. Then now I am posting on my blog! It has seriously been one of my favorite birthdays of all time because I have been spending it with my best friends in the whole wide world, My Family! Friends come and go but Family stays with you forever. They love you when your a brat and they are there in your weakest times to lift you up! Thanks to my family for everything they do for me! They are truly the greatest gift I have!

Living the Vida Loca

So my birthday is today! Yay me! I am still a twelve year old on the inside though. I took a shower last night and read scriptures and did my usual ready to bed things. I looked at the clock and it read ten thirty! YES! I thought to myself. I will go to bed early, wake up in the morning, take a bath, and just take it easy! Well that all changed as I was pulled out of bed and had a pillow case shoved over my face. I don't really remember the being in my house part but my siblings say I was screaming: "Save me, Save me DAD!" I also remember telling Steven I need my shoes and that I also needed a you know what! LOL! Steven told me he would take care of it. I knew Kristi ( His wife) was there but that was about it. They put my shoes on and we were off. As i got into the car they buckled me in and started to drive. We listened to songs as they kept turning up the volume then turning it down again. It was CRAZY! Then they all thought it would be hilarious to stop in the middle of state street get out of the car run around it and get back in except Steven (the little sweetie he is) wanted to freak me out and so sat in the back....when i couldn't feel my big brother there I freaked out!!!!!! Who was in the car with me now?! So I tried to take my blindfold off when someone shoved it back on. I lost it again! I screamed. But who can blame me I didn't know who was in the car with me! Well when we got to where we were going they left me in the car and started bouncing on it. CRAZY! They finally let me out of the car but still with the blindfold on. They guided me into what I thought was a hotel but really was... drum roll please.... IHOP! haha. It was amazing food. And I saw rachel, jordan, trevor, heidi, kristi, steven, john, and his wife mary all smiling at me! What an awesome way to start out my birthday. I am truly lucky to have siblings who care so much about me to make it a night I will never forget. They are amazing! I love them all! Thanks steven and kristi for planning it! You don't know how much it meant to me!

Fun in the Sun

So I will be doing a lot of posting today. First I will talk about yesterday at seven peaks. I went with my sister (Rachel) and her three kids (Madison, Paul, and Royal), my mom. It was a blast! I mean talk about having fun. Her kids bring out the youth in me. So it was way fun to sit with Paul as he anticipated the wave pool and watch them go down the slides. To bad he had to pee before we could enjoy the wave pool. He was Mr. Adventure. And I loved holding him as we went around lazy river. Having him just lay back and talk to me about all the slides he liked and just what he enjoyed at the park. He is such an awesome nephew! I love him! Madison was not as adventuress but she did take on some slides. It was an overall great day! I got burnt on my shoulders (not bad) just in the wrong place. It was great to be out in the sun and enjoying a day at seven peaks with the people I love.

Crazy Little thing Called Life

So I was sitting in my computer room reading some missionary letters when I thought to myself...."Hey, you are done with homework for the night you should post something on your blog!" So I am following the guide of my mind. I am so excited for my birthday! I don't know why but birthdays make me so happy! This week has been a good one. My nana took me to buy a watch for my birthday, I got a letter from you know who (or most of you know anyways), pictures, and I get to share my birthday dinner with my incredible mother! I am tooo excited! The only thing that is putting a damper on my mood is my test coming up on friday but I am studying hard! So I know I will perform well. My Wisdom Teeth count down is starting. I get them out July 18 if any of you want to come comfort me on that day you can! I am up for visitors! My Hometeachers called and are coming to meet with me Sunday. That should be interesting. Well I love you all and remember my birthday is coming up!!! Wink Wink

17 Miracles

So I decided while I am on to do another post. haha. So recently I went with my parents to see the movie 17 Miracles. It is about the Willie and Martin handcart companies that came across the plains late in the season. It is only playing in Utah. This movie is the most uplifting, amazing, and clean movie I have seen in awhile. After seeing it I wanted to be a better person. It is a tear jerker so take a box of tissues. I recommend it for all. These people are my heroes and I can't believe what they went through but it was all worth it in the end.

Life.......

Well life has been treating me well. I have been keeping it busy. I am taking 2 online summer classes and getting 86 percent or higher on my tests. It has been just amazing. I love my professors and learning. I also believe that it is because of answers to my prayers that has kept me calm and collected before my tests.
The singles ward is AMAZING! I am supposed to be there. I have had so many spiritual experiences and prayers that have been answered either in sacrament meeting and relief society. Heavenly Father truly KNOWS us personally and lately I have come to realize that better than I have before.
My lifestyle change has been amazing! I have been losing weight and feeling better. I love running with my dad and working out with my mom! It has been so much fun to share that with them. My birthday is coming up and it will be my final teen birthday which seems weird for me. My wisdom teeth are coming out in a few weeks on July 18 so we will see how that goes. I will try to write more. But this is my life as I know it! :)
