Happy Birthday!.....To ME! : )

Well yesterday I celebrated my 21st Birthday! ....I am getting way old. It's weird. It is kind of a bitter sweet thing I suppose. I am excited to be getting older because that means new adventure and new experiences are ahead of me. Yet I am going to miss the years where I didn't have as much responsibility and life wasn't so serious! From conference though I have learned to be happier and I need to work on seeing the good in ALL situations and circumstances! Conference has been so good! The day was really awesome! Michelle invited me over for breakfast and then we watched the first session of conference. After that I went home and got ready for the day and went to check the mail. I had 2 packages and a couple letters!! I was so exciting! I never realized that mail would be such a big thing, and I don't even know why but it is really fun to get mail...; ).

Sheldon came over and helped me open them. He probably thinks I am a freak (if he didn't already that is)! : ) I was going crazy because I was so excited that I had presents and stuff! haha


Tracy sent me all these and they were SO much fun to open up! So. Awesome! Thanks Lady! : )

Angela and the kids sent me some a package as well and it had a nice card, a journal, some pens, a bracelet and some beach stickers that apparently Kayla said I would love them for my birthday! : ) thanks so much Ang! I had a letter from Jared just wishing me a happy birthday and a another card from a family back home. Sheldon brought me a card and a really pretty necklace! I really like it!

....I got a GPS too! Now I will be able to get around a little better! : )

After Priesthood session I went over to Auntie's and then we went over to Derek and Michelle's for the tradition of dinner! It was delicious! and then they revealed my birthday cake! It is SO cute! haha I love it! Terri said that she got this one because she knows I am trying to find my prince at the moment! ; ) (Annabelle is one of my many nicknames!)

After that we watched 7 lbs. with Will Smith and it was so good! It makes you think about life. Anyway it was a really great day and thank you so much to everyone who called, sent stuff, and came to see me! I really appreciate it! It was weird not being home for my birthday for the first time but I am glad I have friends and family up here that care enough about me to make my birthday special!

I'm glad you had a good day and that you got our package! The kids were excited to send it! I loved conference this weekend too. It puts everything in perspective. Can't wait to see you in a few weeks! Dad might come out then too.

It makes me so happy that you had a wonderful day! I feel like a big fat loser for not sending you anything! HOWEVER, mom has your gift and will be delivering it this week to you so I hope you like! love you a ton
