I am ashamed. Has it really been 2 weeks since my last entry?The last couple of weeks have been lots of fun and in the spirit of lists, here are a few highlights:
Took an impromptu sleepover trip to SLC with Jamie to see Be Kind Rewind, eat some good (although a little overpriced) food and sleepover at Grandma & Grandpa Holt's house (thanks guys!). It was a great spontaneous getaway and its something that's been on our pre-mission list for a while.
Discovered that its worth it to pay the extra $1.50 to get the name brand floss
Recommitted myself to my education
Celebrated Jamie's 21st B-Day at a Swiss resort in Midway. Nothing better than sitting in the hot tub while people dressed in lederhosen bring you fresh squeezed orange juice. Just kidding. But, it was really fun to sit in the hot tub outside while the snow was falling! And, midway is just a cute little place, you couldn't ever go wrong there.
Saw Step Up 2 for the third time - one word, three sylables - Fabulous
Stake Conference with Elder Perry
Said goodbye to Trent
And last but not least, my mom and I made a yummy birthday cake (french vanilla with chocolate frosting and strawberries). Which brings me to my next exciting piece of news....
My Birthday!
I have a lot of mixed emotions about being a year older. In fact, its actually the first time that I've ever wanted to stay young. But, two things have helped me to be excited to be a year older: First, a friend reminded me that the 20's is definitely a glamorous decade in our lives - I'm definitely excited to be becoming a more mature and "glamorous" woman. And the second, a song from Care Bears 2 entitled "Growing Up". I hope all of you who've seen this film will appreciate these lyrics!
Growing up
It's something you can measure
Growing up
It happens every day
Being young
Is something you can treasure
Life is good when you're
Growing up!
It's something you can measure
Growing up
It happens every day
Being young
Is something you can treasure
Life is good when you're
Growing up!
Haha, it makes me laugh every time. Anyway, sorry for the long post and I hope each of you have a fabulous day on my birthday!
Note: The clock just struck 12, and I'm happy to say, it feels good to be 21!
