My Birthday

Tuesday was my 20th Birthday. It was my first birthday away from home, so I'll admit I was a little worried that it wouldn't be anything special. Thankfully, I was wrong and my roommates, friends and cousins did a great job of making me feel absolutely loved and special on my big day.

The festivities began at midnight on Monday night when my roommates marched into my room singing happy birthday and throwing "confetti" all over my room. (They weren't very sneaky because I was waiting for them in my room with my camera ready.)


from left to right (Berit, Brooke and Kati) They were really excited. :)


So was I.


All these people showed up for my birthday at devotional... I'm kind of a big deal :)


I sat with Alana and her hubby


Even the Prophet came to wish me a happy birthday!


It was so cool


My cousins Lexie, Chelsea and Mallory took me to the Cannon Center for dinner


Chelsea loves the Cannon Center


Kendall not so much..


My crown and presents! (earrings, a facial and socks!)


My crown was a little small, but I wore it anyway.


When I got home, Kati, Brooke and Berit threw me a party and invited some people from the ward. They are so great. :)





Some of my party guests (notice the decorations)


Brooke, her fiance Garrett and her brother Billy all got me chocolate covered cinnamon bears and a Bob Marley magnet. I loved it.


Berit got me some jewelry from Nordstrom, her place of employment. She has great taste. :)


to close off my lovely day, we played uno. Haha.
