20th Birthday and New Hair Cut

20th Birthday

Next came my big 2oth birthday... it didn't come with too much excitement though...Kiersty was nice enough to make me a cake for my birthday, since no one else was going to. It was a delicious cake! I had class from 12-6 so I was on campus for that, then on my way home, I ran into my friend Jessica Jones from Idaho, who told me that her and my friend Alyssa would be by to visit me later that evening. So they came over and I shared my cake with them and had a lovely visit with two of my oldest dearest friends. Then they had to leave to do homework, so I hung out with my roommates for a little bit, and some of my friends from the ward. And then Josh took me on a motorcycle ride to round off my day!

Danny and Josh and me...Danny looks like he has been drugged but I promise, he wasn't...

This is Dan, he used to be a balloon man at a restaurant so he still comes around if he knows it is someone's birthday and makes them a balloon hat.

Then Josh took me on a motorcycle ride

which is always tons of fun!

New Hair

A few weeks after my birthday I finally got to cut off my hair. Brooke, a girl in my ward, was in hair school (now she is graduated) so she was nice enough to come and cut my hair! I was getting sick of all of the length so I wanted to chop it again. I don't know how much I cut off but my guess is that it was around 8 inches... maybe less, however much it was I was very excited to get it done!

The Best Friend's Wedding

My Sophomore year at BYU started off with Kalli's best friend from high school getting married! Linz, because she was Kalli's best friend when I was younger, became like one of my sisters because we were so close. Basically if Kalli couldn't help me with something, or if I needed pretty much anything when I was in junior high and my first year of high school, Linz would help me out. Anyway, Linz getting married meant that Kalli came in from Boston to be one of the bridesmaids and Kiersty and I got to go and celebrate at the reception with Linz and Kalli and other friends from Twin. Then after the wedding, which happened in the Draper temple, Kalli and I took a road trip up to Twin Falls to go to Linz's reception up there, and to get to see some old friends. It was the first time that either of us had been back in around two years.

Linz looked beautiful as always!

Sisters!

Deidre and Sarah were also there after they got out of the temple, and for the dinner that night, and it was wonderful to get to see them for a little bit!

Me and Linz, I couldn't get her for a picture before she changed out of her dress...

We're in Idaho...

And now we're in Twin Falls!

My first time seeing the Twin Falls temple since it was completed!

I caught her in her dress during this reception!

At the reception Kalli and I got to visit for a while with Pamela Bevan, which we were really excited about! Pam was one of the planners of the reception that night, but to us Pam was our Young Women's president and leader for many years, as well as a camp leader one year. Kalli and I were very excited to get to see her even though it meant helping out at the reception. After the reception, Kalli and I enjoyed a delicious 9 Beans burrito, which was as yummy as I remembered it! Then we went over to the Edmund's house, who were nice enough to let us stay the night, where we also got to finish watching the BYU game from earlier that night. Then after a little visiting we were super tired, so we went to sleep so that we could be ready in time for 8 o'clock church the next morning. We went to the new 15th ward, which is quite a bit different than the 15th ward that we remember but it was still really great to get to go. We saw Jenna get released as Young Women's president, so I think that we picked a perfect day to come because Jenna was very happy to see us, since we were some of her original laurels. After church, but before we headed out of town we made one more stop to go and say hello to Debbie Buttars. Kalli and I haven't seen Debbie in years, which isn't hard to believe since we haven't been back in years, but Debbie was one of our young women's leaders, as well as one of my camp leaders a few different years. We both love her a lot so it was great to get to see her while we were up there.
