My 26th Birthday

I turned 26 on October 13th. It was a great day and I have the best family and friends a girl could ask for! I can't believe how fast year 25 went! I ended up having a birthday week. The weekend before my birthday my parents came up and visited. It was great to have them here. We went to Garnder Village and the BYU homecoming game. Here a few pics :

On Sunday they attended our ward. Mom loved going to a single ward's relief society! We spent the afternoon visiting family and they took off Monday morning. It was sad to say good-bye!

Here's what happened on my actual birthday: As I was getting ready for work... yes I actually went to work on my birthday. Heather suprised me with a birthday sign she made:

I was glad she did this because I had balloons and streamers waiting for her when she woke up for her birthday

Work went well. I loved watching my happy birthday facebook posts pop up and getting emails from my family. My area decorated my cubicle and we had smoothies for breakfast!

My lunch bunch took me out to lunch at Braza Grill Express. Yummy!!!

When I got home from work dad called, but when I answered it was Grandma Miller singing Happy Birthday to me! so cute! Heather took me to dinner at my favorite place to eat... Rumbi's! Then we came back for blowing out candles, opening presents and to watch Hocus Pocus! Oh and I skyped with my parents. They love to skype!

On Friday night I went to Texas Roadhouse with my friends Emily and Jessame. Heather came too of course! Oh and Jessame brough her 8 year old cousin Liam that she was baby-sitting. We came back to the apt to watch Casper. Love that movie

On Saturday the 15th Heather and I drove around Midway, UT to see the fall colors and to do some shopping at the Park City outlets.

Our main goal was to find these trees again and we did! though last year they looked better:

This year not as great:

And as tradition I took this picture! Liz Geiger and I took a pic jumping off this same bridge 2 years ago and Heather and I did last year too!

Saturday night Heather took me to see Thriller. It was her birthday present to me! It was an amaaaaazing show! So glad I went!

Sunday, my aunt Nel made dinner (yummy potato soup) and to celebrate grandpa's and my belated birthday. That's right we both have our birthdays on October 13th!!!! Oh and she made me a yummy chocolate cheesecake!!!

After that week life went back to normal I swear! :)
