1. My three best friends from BYU came down for a visit!!!! I love them all SO much and especially love the fact that we can be apart for months on end, living completely different lives, and come back together and feel like no time has past. I was truly blessed to have such great examples and support going through high school. People used to place bets on which of the four of us would be married first (they all were guessed in the first two years of college) we laughed and commiserated on how each of us have yet to have a serious relationship....jokes on them!!! Also, root beer shots - super fun... but not a good idea.
2. MY BIRTHDAY! I'm 21!! How crazy is that?! This birthday was probably on my top five best because everyone and their cousin made it so special for me! Being 12 hours away, my family made sure I did not go without. I received roses and a cake (A RAPUNZEL cake!!!!...probably one of the ONLY 21-year-old cakes ever made) and money (because I'm boring and could not think of a decent birthday present). I also got a bouquet of flowers from the McArthurs and then another bouquet of roses from Matty! Our table looked like a flower garden!!! My roommates threw a party that I came upon after my institute class. It was so fun having all my friends there for me! Not to mention the 48 Happy Birthdays on Facebook. I love all of my family and friends so much!!!
3. Cori AND Eric AND Quintin AND Audrey all came up for a visit to St. George! I have to admit, I loved showing them around, taking a little pride that St. George is where I live now. I loved playing with the kids and my roommates who all just catered to their every need. Q informed my roommate Shaylee that she could snuggle him and "squeeze tight during the scary parts" during the movie we watched in our Friday night sleepover. The best part though was when Audrey said my hair looked like Rapunzel's...I didn't even have to coach her on it. I just love hanging out with the Jeides and cannot wait for the new addition!!
4. VAMPIRES!!! Okay, so the movie was not all that great, but it was still the thrill of going to a midnight show! We had an extra ticket, so I lured my friend Charlie there, purposely not telling him what he was about to see. We counted 11 guys, including him, in our theatre. Needless to say, he has no desire to see the previous three movies or part 2.
