My 27th Birthday!!!

 

I had a birthday on October 13th. I feel very loved by my family, friends and coworkers!!!  They  made my 27th birthday one of the best ones yet!

 

On Friday October 12th my area decorated my cubicle and brought yummy breakfast food! It seemed like the whole office came to eat breakfast and say Happy Birthday to me! The same day we celebrated October birthdays in the Conference room.  The South America area did an amazing job! 

 

 

 

My Grandpa Neilson has the same birthday as me so Heather and I visited him on our birthday! We took two pictures together.  A normal pic and a goofy pic!!! Grandpa's goofy face is the best!

 

After the sad BYU game on Saturday, I got to open my presents from my family!

Heather picked out these flowers for me! They are from Mom and Dad!

 

I had a few friends over to celebrate my birthday!  Heather made yummy zuppa toscana! Later on we had cake and ice cream and then watched Hocus Pocus!

These girls are the best! (Heather, Maz, Sara and Amber!)

This is my favorite pic from my birthday!!!

On Monday Amber, Candice and Polly took me to Blue Lemon for lunch! so fun! They gave me Just Dance 4!!! I had planned on buying that after work on Monday! :)  They are the best friends/coworkers I could ask for!

Carrie Underwood Concert!!!

I went to the Carrie Underwood concert last night with Heather and Kara!  The plan was for Heather's friend Kristen to come with us but she couldn't come at the last minute.  I'm glad Kara was able to come!!! The 3 of us had sooo much fun! Here we are waiting for the concert to start!

 

Hunter Hays opened. He was alright... but Carrie Underwood was amazing!  I love all her songs and her voice is just amazing!  Here are some pics from the concert:

Her opening song: Good Girl!

Awesome, right?

 



The Finale!!!! so amazing!!!!

General Conference Weekend

My parents came into town this past weekend to see me and Heather! They arrived Saturday afternoon and left Monday morning. A very quick trip, but so worth it because we got to attend the Sunday afternoon session of General Conference.  It was my parents first time to attend Conference and they loved it! My friend Amber was able to spot us on TV during the congregational hymn!!! Here are some pictures!

Heather did ruin the weekend a bit with getting the stomach flu Friday night.... she was very miserable.  It was awesome when my parents arrived on Saturday and my dad was able to give her a Priesthood blessing!  We were glad that Heather was better by Sunday so she could come to Conference with us!

I did get to spend time with my mom Saturday night while dad watched the Priesthood session and Heather was too sick to go anywhere.  My mom and I went to the mall and had dinner at Corner Bakery! so fun!  Later that night we went and saw the movie, Taken 2 with my dad and my Aunt Merrie. 

I loved hearing the messages that were shared during General Conference.  The main message I got was that the Lord is aware of me and he listens to my prayers.  He has his own timetable and plan for me and I need to have faith and trust in that... and not be upset when life is not going the way I want it to. I loved President Uchtdorf's talk the most  I definitely need to enjoy the journey!
