Birthday

I am now 21!

I had a great birthday this year. The Friday before I invite some friends over and we had pulled pork sandwiches and lots of other goodies. It was my first time making pulled pork and it was delish! Sunday was my birthday and I got to leave church early to see my sister Jenny and her family! They were driving home from Texas and stopped in Laramie to see me. It was so wonderful to be able to see the girls and visit with them for a little bit. And Ryan took care of the lesson and our primary class so I could see my family. After they left Ryan and I decided to drive to Denver to celebrate. We stayed in a brand new hotel for the night, went out to eat, and went swimming. The hotel was completely empty so we had the pool and hot tub to our selves and got some much needed relaxing time. Then I did something that I have never done before in my life! I watched 3 zombie movies in a row! I hate scary movies and for some reason I just couldn't change the channel and kept watching. The movie was actually pretty good... for a zombie movie. (Really I have never seen a zombie movie before). Because I stayed up pretty much all night we slept in until checkout which was noon. Before we headed home we did some shopping which was truly an amazing gift from Ryan because he HATES shopping and it is so hard to get him to go with me. I got 2 pairs of jeans (much needed) and a new top. The drive home was stressful... it started to snow and get slick out. We drove past a tipped over truck on the side of the road as we were leaving Denver so that was just the beginning to a horribly anxious ride home. But we survived and made it home in one piece.

It was a wonderful birthday and I am so glad that I got to spend it with my favorite person.

And now for some sad news.. I am now officially a Wyoming resident and my new Wyoming drivers licence is in the mail and on its way to my very sad wallet. I have been avoiding getting a Wyoming licence for 2 years and it finally caught up to me. So now I have 2 Wyoming registered cars and a licence to match. Sad sad day for me and my unhappy wallet.

Quick Fix

It is my birthday on Sunday so tonight I am planning a little get together with some friends. I am making pulled pork sandwiches (with 2 cans of Dr. Pepper!) for the first time and I am so excited to eat it! Because I have friends coming to my apartment I HAD to deep clean. Once I had everything nice and tidy I noticed an eye sore... My fridge. I have too many things on my fridge and not enough magnets so that leaves one magnet holding at least 4 different items. I decided to fix this problem by making some magnets with things I already have. I already had the actual magnet part from the last time that I made cute magnets so all I needed was something cute to glue them to. I also have a ton of flowers from making bows so I just decided to use what I had. It took me literally 2 minutes and it was a quick and cute fix to my problem.

So here they are.

Now each picture has its own magnet.

Note: Don't feel TOO weirded out if you happen to see your face on my fridge :)
