21!!!

One week ago I reached a milestone in my life. I turned 21 years old! I am now an official, full-fledged adult! (Not sure how I feel about the adult part though...)

It was a FABULOUS week. On Sunday I had dinner with my family and opened my presents from my parents. On Tuesday (my official birthday) I went to Tucano's with my family and was forced to play the tambourine while they sang me "Happy Birthday"...that was embarrassing. Then I went to Spark (this sweet non-alcoholic bar in provo) with my Friends Elora and Chris. I got an appletini! It was de-li-cious! On Wednesday I went for dessert with my friend Nick to Chili's. On Friday I went to get my hair cut and dyed by my rockin' hair stylish, Cody. (I highly recommend him!) THEN, on Saturday me and my girly-friends went to The Grand America for afternoon tea. It was so yummy...and classy!

It was QUITE a week! Thanks to everyone who made my birthday one of my best ever!

IT IS NOW OFFICIAL!

Ok so I have been blogging  A LOT lately, but I figure this is my way of keeping a journal cuz heaven knows how bad I am at that!  I think my last journal entry was over a year ago!  

So if this blog were my journal, to day I would be writing this entry:

I got in to my elementary education program at BYU!!!

That's right! I am now officially on the road to being a teacher!  So, yeah, I'm a semester behind schedule, and yeah I am hopefully going to take another extra semester to do an internship, so I won't reeeally be a teacher for a while, but it still makes me feel so much more legit!  

Yay for me!

SO I'M SICK...AND I'M BORED...

So yesterday I came down with a bug of some sort that has given me a soar throat, stuffy nose, and never-ending cough.  Atleast it's not the swine flu right?  Anyways...I've been sitting in bed bored, and started looking though  pictures and videos of mine.  Here are a couple of my favorites that were on my computer.

This is when my brother Marcus and his 2 kids came to visit so he could go to the World Cup qualifier game.  We went up to Park City and rode on the coaster thing.  It was way fun, and I was the lucky one Will chose to ride with.  He was HILARIOUS and couldn't stop laughing the whole say saying "faster, faster!"  I MISS THEM SO MUCH!

This was when I went up to my Friend, Elora's, cabin in Island Park last fall.  I attempted to drive a dirt bike...this was my first and last attempt.

And, while I'm here, I figure I could put up a couple of recent pics!  This first is from last weekend when me and Brooke went to see Ingrid Michaelson at the Venue in Salt Lake.  I was so good, and one of my favorite concerts ever!  Yes, even better than the 17 million NSYNC or Backstreet Boys concerts of my childhood.

And this is me with my cute dad who took me to eat at La Caille for my 21st birthday.  It was so good, and I felt so special!

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY...

1.  the sound of autumn leaves crunching when i walk on them

2.  turning the clocks back one hour when day light savings time ends

3.  the way the air smells so crisp when i walk to school each morning

4.  when my roommate leaves me notes in the bathroom to find when i get ready

5.  good hair days

6.  perfectly polished toenails

7.  when i wear my roommates clothes
