Happy Birthday To Me!

This past week has been absolutely amazing and chalk full of fun and relaxation. Monday I took myself up to salt lake for the day and hung out with a friend of mine for 11 years now, got a 100 minute massage (absolute pure bliss), went out to dinner with the same friend and watched despicable me. We went to Cafe Rio and then a few streets over to this really cute cafe/pastry shop, and he got this super decadent chocolate thing and I got the passion-fruit cheesecake -- oh my goodness, incredibly euphoric. Tuesday I had school, then hung out around town til I had to work, which was just fine. Then Wednesday, my Birthday, I went to school, worked out and tanned, went home and chilled and napped a little and my mom and dad got me this adorable (and delicious, I'll have to upload a picture) cupcake thing, and then I got all showered and ready to go out for sushi with a bunch of my closest friends. After sushi we went to one of their houses for cake and chillaxin. I spent Wednesday night through Saturday evening at my best friend Taylor's house, and Thursday we went up to the airport with our friend Matt's family to welcome him home from his 2 year mission in Brazil. YAY!! I absolutely love Matt, he has been my best guy friend for 11 years, and I just have a very special place in my heart for him. :) Welcome Home, Matt!!! After the airport we all went to the Pizza Factory and then back to their house for visiting and presents -- he gave me the coolest beanie ever and I'm going to wear the heck out of it! The rest of the night Taylor and I hung out at her place because Matt was getting released and doing things with his family. Friday was pretty chill and Tay and I went shopping for my Halloween costume, which is freaking awesome, and then we hung out with the boys again, they came over and we had In 'N' Out for dinner and talked and watched youtube and then Avatar. Then Saturday I watched the first session of General Conference at Taylor's and then the second session at Matt's with him and his brothers, then we chilled for a while and then walked around the mall and goofed off. Then I came home. Haha and as nice as it was to have a vacation, a very lovely and much needed vacation, it's really nice to be home. :)
