Happy Birthday to Me!

So far, being 22 is exactly how I expected it would be--slightly worse than being 21. I just hope I can hold out until I turn 23 and things lighten up. Kyle is going to help me through it--he's done it before, and he survived.


My birthday celebrations were great! Saturday night, I went to Salt Lake City with my friends. It was so fun to wear dresses and look fancy. We went to a cool restaurant--Bucca di Beppo, which is the most fun thing to say. Awesome food, crazy decorations. Then we walked around the Gateway, and I got to go to Anthropologie, the most amazing and gorgeous store EVER. That store is who I want to be. Then we went to the opera! My favorite thing in the world. I love the Capitol Theater--maybe not as much as I love the San Francisco Opera Hall, but still, it's pretty inside. We saw The Flying Dutchman by Wagner, which was pretty weird and the music was gorgeous. The message I got from it was that it is HARD to find a faithful woman.


Sunday was my real birthday. I wore the gold shoes to church on Sunday, because they just needed to be worn and this was the perfect occasion. I've been really looking forward to wearing them! Wearing them around the house with my pajamas just isn't the same. I feel like I'm on America's Next Top Model, when they give the girls ridiculous shoes to walk down the runway with. Anyways, church was great, of course. Kyle gave a GOOD lesson that he refuses to see the merit of, but I really enjoyed it. I got set apart in my calling as Employment Specialist, and there was an awkwardly controversial Relief Society lesson about women working. It was a good day at church!







After church, I got to open my presents! Kyle gave me a book I've been really wanting--Bear Grylls wrote it about his ascent of Mt. Everest! I love Bear Grylls! He also gave me TEN BOXES OF CAPRI SUN because he is so cool. Is it bad that we're going through one box a day? Capri Sun is just so good. Mom and Dad gave me an AWESOME present--a bunch of gift cards! I feel like I can have fun again, because I can finally afford to. Katy gave me heck of awesome movies (heck of as in very, and heck of as in many.) The most exciting one was the only season of Freaks and Geeks on dvd! I've been wanting it for years, and I always check it on ebay, but it's so dang expensive because it's the best show ever. THANK YOU KATY!!! Also, a sweet tshirt that just came in the mail today and I'm wearing right now. It has a picture of an astronaut and it says "Not all dreams can come true", and I'm going to wear it all the time to make people sad. Or maybe I'll just wear it when I'M sad.


So, on Sunday I watched Freaks and Geeks pretty much all day with Kyle and Katy. It was such a fun day. Katy made me a chocolate cake that we're still eating, it's heck of good. I feel very content about my birthday. Now real life has started again, and I'm worried about tests and things. And also, what the heck am I going to be for Halloween? I'm going to a Halloween party full of people I don't know, so it has to be good.

Your birthday was awesome. I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it more than my own birthday. I'm so sorry you have to be 22. I'll help you through it the best I can, but try not to let too much of the bad luck rub off on me. :)
