Birthday/Memorial Day Weekend

So far, my summer is turning out better than I thought it would. There have been ups and downs. Since my blog is a positive place, we're going to focus on thee ups :)

I had my birthday, which was awesome. I turned 19 (woo) and had alot of people show up to my party. It was super nice to be surrounded by friends and family. Everyone came over for delicious cake, I unwrapped my presents, and then me and a few of my friends went cruising...which was epic. Haha! Here are some pictures from my birthday.










We had a old family friend get married the day after my birthday. Joni Curtis...now Joni Packard! She got married in the temple to an awesome man who seems perfect for her. I love/hate weddings at the same time. Love: because they are so beautiful and happy. Hate: because I want one. Haha! All of my single friends are dropping like flies...getting sucked into the venus fly trap commonly known as marriage. Ugh! I played piano at her luncheon, and was happy I got to be a part of her wedding! I love Joni and her family so much!




The rest of my memorial day weekend rocked. I honestly spend my days at school, with Heidi, at my house, or a Trudy and Mike's house. Nothing super exciting, but the simple pleasure of it is just kind of delightful! Summer school is over for me in a week. I have a really good speech class. My teacher is awesome, and the kids in it are so friendly. EVERYONE is married with kids, which puts me as the oddball, but suprisingly, everyone is so nice and I really like it. Taylor came home from college, and I found out he's coming to ISU in the fall! He's a music major, thus I am very excited. I went out to his house for a memorial day BBQ, and it was delicious. I made some awesome new friends...and all together just had a really good memorial day weekend.




as for Kelly...his mission is chugging along. I recieved a very lovely letter from him on my birthday, and also a beautiful card. I miss him like CRAZY but am sort of excited about how fast the time is going! He's almost been out 8 months...which is getting close to a year! Once I hit my year mark I've heard it goes by so crazy fast. I can't wait to see him. I love him oh so very much. But...I bet you already knew that ;)
