Birthday!

I am 19! Weird. I still feel like I am 16. So I actually had to work on my birthday. Bummer. But it was kind of my fault because I didn't turn in my request for days off on time. Oops. However, I had the day before my birthday (Thursday) and the day after (Saturday) completely off. So basically we celebrated all three days. Here is an itinerary of what we did:

Thursday: Mom and I went to lunch at Olive Garden. (My favorite!) And then we did a little shopping for some school clothes! I have to say, it is kind of weird to be school clothes shopping in April. Then that night I went to Shari's at midnight for some pie with friends! (It was free since it was technically my birthday according to the clock.)

Friday: I worked from 9am to 5pm and then some friends and I were going to go to the Professional Bull Riding at the Idaho Center. Unfortunately, all of the cheap tickets were sold out and we would have had to spend $31 for seats. So we went to the Institute activity for a little bit and then went to Applebee's for half price drinks and appetizers. And of course we took advantage of my birthday and got some free ice cream.

Saturday: Dad and Mom took me and some friends snowmobiling in Cascade. (See previous post for picture.) I also have to add that I rolled the snowmobile twice and we all got stuck at least once during the trip. The snow was really heavy, but it was good to get out in the sun.

Sorry I don't have many pictures, I kept forgetting to take my camera places, which is weird because I am the one who is always taking pictures.

Billy Madison

As Billy Madison would sing it..."back to school, back to school, to prove to daddy I'm not a fool." It's almost time for me to head back to Rexburg for the summer semester. Classes start in two weeks! So I thought I would do a post to kind of sum up my winter. I've been working full time at the Rec Center and I'm pretty burned out. I'm definitely ready for a break from lifeguarding. I also learned how to snowboard this winter...well...I know HOW to snowboard. I can't say I am very good at it though. I'm getting pretty good on the bunny hill. Unfortunately, we never got any pictures of me snowboarding because I was too afraid of crushing my camera since I fell. A lot. Other than that, most of my spare time is spent working out at the gym and hanging out with some friends from the singles ward.

A few weeks ago I took a quick trip down to Provo for my best friend Kirra's bridal shower. She is getting married April 24 in the Boise temple. So I will go to Rexburg for my first week of classes and then be home for the weekend. It's like I never leave.


Shopping for wedding shoes in the Provo mall.

After the bridal shower, her fiance was headed over so we pinned her down on the couch...


...so we could do this!

So even though it is Spring, there has been some good snow. So we decided to take advantage of the snow and sunshine and go snowmobiling...instead of watching conference on Saturday. Oops.
