I would be remiss if I didn't thank my God and my Parents for the gift of life they have granted me. Thanks for bringing me into this world and dealing with your stubborn daughter!
Alyssa got this idea from her roommate and decided to make me a little list where I could record my birthday celebrations! I tried to keep them in order of how they happened. So its not favoritism. Although I may have...you know... bolded and italisized a few things...
1. Target shooting with some of my favorite people! Alyssa, Bryce, Ryan and I headed out to Menan area to the popular shooting range areas up there. We had a great time! Ryan's shotgun has quite a bit more kick than I remember others having, and I got to shoot Bryce's 270, which is loud and about knocked me on my butt. We bought some cans of soda and shook them up before shooting them. That is dang entertaining :)

21. Stuart coming up to visit! He made it for the tail end of the party.
Stubaby & IWe were supposed to go hiking in the Tetons Saturday but I knew that I wasn't going to feel well enough to do that undertaking. We settled for a short, about 1 mile? hike on the Cress Creek trail. I'm so glad we didn't go hiking for REALS, because I was dying!
Alyssa & Bryce at the viewpoint.
Ryan & I at the viewpoint.Can you tell how tired I am?
I slept for 2 hours after getting back from that hike. I was exhausted!We played some settlers, did some lounging, checked out the babes at church (well Stu did that...) Partied until the wee hours of the night, and didn't get near enough sleep, but it was all worth it! Thanks Stu for coming up!
22. And the greatest celebration of all -
The LOVE I felt surrounding me so completely :)
