the big one-eight!

April 10, 2008: i can finally say i am eighteen. Once i hit the age sixteen all i could look forward to was eighteen...now im here, and nothing seems too different. haha, i guess i had high expectations.

Well the day went something like this: got up and found miss m.good at the front door!

she is pretty much amazing! last year she decorated my porch, and this year my door had a ton of different words that described me. how lucky am i to have her as my bestest!

....well i didn't feel like it was a school kind of day so instead i went to work...ha, doesn't sound to exciting but it wasn't bad, i went to a luncheon and got paid! when work was done i went to subway with my mom and brother then it was back home to get ready for the birthday dinner. I headed off to Claim Jumper with my mom, dad, brother, and best friend Meagan.

blowing out my candle. attractive? haha, i think not.

so...i thought the day was over. i had had an amazing birthday with amazing people, but Chad "realllly wanted to see me" so meg and i headed over to the institute to meet him there. I walk in the door and the lights turn on. and there are about twenty people yelling SURPRISE! i had no idea what was going on, and was definetely suprised. It was so nice of everyone to come and wish me a happy birthday and welcoming to the singles ward, which i have gone to "illegally" for the last six monthes. Well the night ended with a cupcake eating contest and a big smile on my face. Thanks to everone, especially meagan and brigham! who made my birthday unforgettable!
