Life as it is

So this last week was my birthday and boy was it good! it was a true birthday week! the festivities began last Tuesday where my roommates surprised me with gifts galore counting down the days till I would be the big 21! Saturday was my friend party where we had my friends come over to chat and to have cake. Can I tell you how much pressure is put on the birthday girl to entertain. I loved the party, but gosh sometimes I was afraid that people thought I was boring or something because all I was doing was trying to catch up with people.

After cake which was so generously provided by my loving roommate Trisha, we headed to Classic Skating. Where I immediately came to realize I have not skated in YEARS! I also had not realized how popular it was....there were tonz of people there. By the way we were dressed up because it was disco night. So here are some pics from that, it was definitely a blast!

This is Trisha my roommate and myself

This is Kelsey, Michael, and I trying to show off our awesome skills.

So after that we came back and played games and said good night. It was by far the best party I have had in a long time! It was really good to see old friends and new friends become good friends.

Monday was the family party and can I just tell you how amazing Deborah is! well she is amazing! she made my cake and it was beautiful.... and yes that is fondant. Best Family Birthday EVER!!!!

So then comes my real birthday day...MARCH 3 for those of you who are still unsure as to when I was really born. I didnt do anything too crazy. I went to school and then worked for six hours, I then came home ate left over pizza and chilled on the couch doing "homework" (I fell asleep) after being awakened which is something that my roommates never do because they realize the vengeance of Julie. Trisha, Emily, and Laura then went to 7-11 with me for a weekly ritual of getting hot cocoa. On our way back from visiting a good friend. Anna (my room roommate) had called and was acting kinda weird so we walk in and I go to get some tums *vital when sugar intake has greatly exceeded over a four day period. When Kelsey said, "Julie can I borrow your scriptures..." I was like "okay? what happened to yours?"...then Anna said "Julie I made your bed you should go look at it." By this point I was like what the heck is going on? What did they do to my bed...and I walk in and see my best friends and old roommates Leanne Lecheminant, Becca Snyder, Alex Ahern, and Kelsi Brimhall sitting on my bed!!!!!! oh what a good surprise! I Love my friends!

Thanks to everyone who made this day (or rather week) so special. I cannot thank you all enough!
