Eating Bethany's cookie cake...yummy!


I had to stand on a chair while they sang at Brickoven...

My friend bought me a shirt for my b-day.


The gang!

I'm 24!!!

Well, I had a pretty awesome birthday...probably the best one yet, so I thought I would let you all know about it...

I got up early and Ashley made a huge pancake breakfast for a bunch of our buddies in the ward to celebrate my birth. A lot more people came than we expected and we were definitely flirting it up.

Then I got to school and the custodian had decorated my room complete with streamers, candy, flowers, balloons, etc. It came as quite a shock to me. When school started, several of my students brought me gifts and cards. One kid even brought in a cake. The principal came to my class and sang to me too.

As a great gift to me, Ashley came to my class and taught them for an hour. It was a nice break for me and they loved it. She also brought in cookies to share. Then I took the kids to PE.

When I picked them up, they had made me a birthday poster and wished me happy birthday. When it was lunch time, I the teachers gave me "snack packs", since that is my nickname and took me out to lunch. After lunch, I fed the kids cake and they said I was the best teacher ever.

I got about 70 facebook messages and 10 phone calls and then it was time for us to go to Brickoven to meet up for dinner. About 17 of my buddies showed up. It was a blast! There was barely enough room at the table for everybody. The best part was that I got to sit near my two crushes.

Afterwards we went to Bethany's house for cookie cake. She got me some candy and Ashley got me a dating book, flip flops, and a shirt. Then we got home just in time to go Salsa dancing with some friends. It was a lot of fun. I got to dance with this guy I like the entire night...pretty awesome.

I got home a little before 12 and the party wasn't over. One of our buddies brought over a cake and another brought me a card and there were more visits.

By the time it was midnight, I was sad that my birthday was over. All I know is that 24 is WAY BETTER than 23!!!!! :)
