29 years

Here I am one years old.

Has it really been that long?
I love birthdays and I always have. But I have to quote a great quote from a great movie... Pretty in Pink... "Ohhhh why can't we start out old and grow younger?"

Why can't my hair still be naturally that blond?

I have great memoies from great birthdays in the past. This picture is of me on my 5th birthday. It was my first time on an airplane flying by myself. When each of us grandchildren would turn 5 my grandma would fly us to Disney Land and spend the week just the two of us... very awesome grandma.

Some other great birthday memories:

1.Having a birthday dance in my partents barn with the entire 7th grade.

2.Having a prep rally on my birthday as a sophmore and the entire school singing to me

3. Having a huge dance party with DJ Dave in Cortland Ridge on my 20th birthday

4.Eating meat for the first time in 8 years on my 21st birthday and opening my mission call

5. The Elders in my district and my companion throwing me a fun little surprise party on my 22nd birthday

7. My mom always making me candy cane cake and eating it with yummy candy cane ice cream

8. And oh yes... my sweet sweet husband on my 24th birthday... hid my presents around the apartment and told me I had 5 minutes to find them... if I didn't find them all I was out of luck... but I would get an extra 10 minutes to look if I searched the house in the nude... so after 5 minutes was up... yes he had me running around the house completely naked searching for my presents. He loves remembering that birthday too. :)

Today has been a great memory as well. I woke up to Drew sending me off to get a message. Yummy Cheesecake Factory with friends for lunch... and if you haven't tried the Chocolate Tuxedo Cheesecake... it's to die for good!
Getting a new camera that I've needed for a long time!

Years go by so quickly... but I am greatful for the ones I've had! Here's to 29 more great ones.
