birthdays are special days

it's official... i'm EIGHTEEN! wow, that's a weird thought. but thank you to everyone who participated and helped me to celebrate my birthday!

mauri was the first to wish me a happy brithday at 12:01, on the way to his dorm after the lobby closed. then for the rest of the day, i was eating to celebrate. i was woken up at 7:30 in the morning and brought breakfast from kneaders. it was ono (thanks cam, josue, brother, meags, and nell). mom, dad, ally, and evan sang to me over the phone (which was greatly appreciated) and then mauri and his brother, marcos, took me to orem to eat at a restaurant that serves local food called matiki's (thanks guys). we had dinner at cam's house (i requested potato casserole and mom's jello dessert)

and then just hung out until everyone had to leave. thanks for the birthday wishes, the calls, the facebook messages, the blouse, the earrings, the socks and beanie, the food, the coupons, and the time all of you spent making my birthday a special one! =)
