Happiest of Birthdays

It is a very special birthday today.

It is that of Miss Jane Austen.

She is one of my absolute favorite authors.

Think of all the amazing characters and plots that were created on this little desk:

This is why I believe Jane and I would get along smashingly:

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.” 

“A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.” 

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.” 

“The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!” 

“but for my own part, if a book is well written, I always find it too short.” 

It's My Birthday

20th birthday, you did me well.

Apartment and car decorated + Chocolate Chip Pancakes

(The balloons say "Happy 1st Bday and the table cloth says "It's a girl")

Free fro-yo (I put in 20 different toppings), circus peanuts, Lucky Charm Rice Krispies, Cake Batter Rice Krispies, Funfetti cake and Oreo Ice Cream. Do you understand why I was in a sugar coma for the following 3 days?

3 signs, a card, and chocolate- Thank you Admissions!

Flowers from Alex and a cactus from my roommates

They kidnapped me from work and then we chowed down at Mill's Hollow

Turbo Kick!

Thank you roommates for all you did to make me feel special and thanks for all the cards, texts, phone calls, and for being in my life!

One-Nine

My birthday was this last Sunday which proved to be a relaxing and joyful day with family and friends.

Starting the eve before, we went to a resturaunt where my friend who worked there informed the waitress it was my birthday. I then proceeded to get a personal singing-to and frozen custard.

Next morning I went to the Singles Branch and saw many loved individuals in which they proceeded to sing to me too.

After church the family chilled out at JC and Sara's house because the power at the Master house was out.

Dessert included a strawberry danish dessert and

Anchor Cupcakes!

Going with the Nautical theme we also had shrimp pasta and the works.

Delicious meal -Huge thanks to the Mummsie and all of my family who worked on it.

Some of the guests:

Arriving back in good ole Rexburg, my roomies treated me with Harry Potter wands and S'mores and my cousin heart attacked my door. (I didn't even realize it was her until tonight!)

I feel so loved and am constantly surrounded by amazing people!

Birthday Post

We have a super birthday post today!!!

First off is my bestest friend Chelzee. (I know this is the third post of my best friend's birthday but I guess July is the month to have a birthday.

Chelzee and I have been best friends all through high school. Even though there's like 7 inches between us, we've been through a lot. And she's crazy athletic not to mention pretty, kind, and amazing. I hope you have an amazing 18th year.

Next up is no other than possibly my favorite author, J.K. Rowling.
I have no idea how old she is but I wish her the best.
And if you wrote a book wouldn't you make the main character share the same birthday...

Happy Birthday Harry!!

And my collage for Brittany on her birthday didn't show up so hopefully it does this time.

Birthday Post

Its a day late, but Happy Birthday Madison!! We've been through a lot in the last year: cheer, choir, cheer, Bye Bye Birdie, state basketball, track, and some more cheer. Even though she's a couple years younger, its feels like we're the same age. (Making me immature?) I love her to death and I'm going to miss the crap out of her when she moves to Alaska in a few very short days!! And no we did not plan to match....

Happy Birthday to one of my besties!! She was one of the first I met in Malta and we were best friends all through high school. We've been through a lot and I absolutely love her!! I hope she has the greatest day...year...life. Love ya Brittany!!
