Hello!! I'm back!

I decided I needed to write in my journal more and as much as I really like to, I prefer typing, so maybe I'll just type this and put it in my journal, haha. Also I wanted to share some photos with my family and friends! :)

Last week was my Birthday! Yay! I loved it! I'm so grateful for everyone that celebrated it with me and for all the love that was given to me! On my Birthday, I went to a ballet class at RDT in SLC. It felt so good and was a blast! They even sang to me! It was fun! Afterwards, I went shopping with my mom, got a make-over and then went to dinner with my family at the Pizza  Factory. Then, we ate delicious Strawberry cheesecake from Costco! Yumm!!!!  And to top it off, my great friends came over and played games with me at my house! :)

Saturday I worked and then Kyle wanted to surprise me that night! We went to my dear friend's Crystal Lyman's wedding reception  (yay!!) and then Krystal K.'s reception. Then, I had to close my eyes while he drove me to our surprise date!! I didn't know what he was doing...haha, he told me to bring an apron, a swimsuit, a headlamp, flip flops, and sweats! I was thinking, "What the heck are we doing??!" haha. I actually thought we'd be making pottery and then going to the hot pots in Midway! haha. Well, after some driving around what felt like, everywhere and nowhere, we arrived, I was a bit carsick haha. He then led me to the door. I heard a few people whispering, but I didn't think anything of it. Then he said "ok, we're here; open your eyes!" and we were at Amberlee's house!! There were tons of friends there,  more than I could imagine, and decorations everywhere! I felt like I was about to cry! Never in my life has that happened to me! It was all Kyle's idea and then Amber, Amberlee, Dan, and others helped a lot too! They're such wonderful friends. Kala was there, Kari, Alex, Tatiana, Megan, Wendy, and all the rest of my amazing friends from the ward. I am so grateful for all their kindness! That was so fun! We ate lots of food and played games all night long!!! :) I loved it! I couldn't have asked for a better birthday weekend! Thank you everyone who did that for me! I am so loved! I love you all too! Here are some fun photos to illustrate the fun we had :)
We  played a game called Swedish twister, which explains the awkward photos, and then we played Poor Man's Cranium.
Thanks so much, Amanda for taking the photos!
