Birthday Bash

Today was my 25th birthday. It's so scary to me to think that in 5 years I will be 30! CRAZY! (No offence to any 30 or older out there).I am usually not one to talk a lot or bring attention to myself but since there were so many people that made today so special, I have to recognize them for all that they did for me. It seems like I have been celebrating all weekend... but I can't complain . Casey surprised me with getting a sitter so we could go out Saturday night. That was a huge gift in it's self that I didn't have to arrange the babysitter. Thanks Minda for doing that! We went and saw Indiana Jones then ate at the Cheesecake Factory which of course was so good. The day before that my best est friends from high school took me to lunch at Crackers which was also so yummy and good to catch up with all of them as well. Today my sweet wonderful friends from the ward took me to Paradise Bakery for lunch and a little shopping spree to one of my favorite stores, Junky Trunk. Then to top it off I got a phone call while running errands today from Casey saying that his parents were bringing over Mattas so I didn't have to make dinner! WOW, I have the best family and friends ever!


Brooke, Alyssa and Julie who are just amazing! Thanks girls for the fun day!
getting a little birthday treat for myself at my favorite store! They have the cutest jewelry and thanks Brooke for always being prepared with your camera for those special moments
At Crackers with Jenni, LaRee and Jessica. Steph, we missed you!
I have so many memories with these girls. We have all been friends since forever and I don't know what I would do without them! When we are all together we have a reputation of being crazy and getting a little out of control. Girls, remember when we took that hip hop class for "exercise" or when we wanted to watch the N'SYNC concert live in NY city but nobody had HBO so we checked into that ghetto hotel room in downtown Mesa for a few hours so we could watch it?! I love all of our good times!
So turning 25 wasn't that bad after all! Thanks a million again for a wonderful birthday!

Sounds like a fun day! I remember turning 25 and feeling a little "old". After that bday I haven't been able to keep track of my age. The next yr I thought I was 27 and really freaked out :)
Fun times...I still need to check out Junky Trunk!!!

Awww I didn't know it was your birthday this week!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! So belated I know but hey...glad your day/weekend was so awesome. I can't believe you're 25!!! You look so young. It will benefit you when you're 60. So jealous about the whole Junky Trunk thing. I've never actually set foot in that store because I'll go nuts but I have driven past many a times.

I'm so glad Lane wasn't sick again this year! It sounds like you had lots of fun. Enjoy camping and give Lane a hug for me! Oh, and yeah, you do need passports to go into Canada. I got mine before I came out here.
