I'm Ron Burgundy???

That is how turning 25 has made me feel...... I keep saying in my head, "I'm 25??" well here's to being 25 and making the best of being 25!! (If I keep repeating it maybe it will seem real)

And how does a 25 year old celebrate turning 25, I'm glad you asked!! Let's make a list, (Yep Mindy I too love making lists!)



  • Spend the week before group texting with Mel, Jess, Chad and Josh trying to decide if we should party and how many layers the cake should be

  • Decide on 7 layers

  • Have and AMAZING friend named Melanie that hosts the party and decides to make the most delicious appetizers!! (seriously thanks Mel, they were so yummy)

  • Play games like Apples to Apples and Diddy

  • Eat a yummy 7 layer cake made by the group chef Josh.

  • Wake up the morning of your actual birthday and go to meetings, (because your birthday falls on a Sunday). Happily report you did your visits!! Being 25 has made me responsible.

  • Have Jessica text you pictures of yourself she has added birthday captions to via her iPad

  • See the hilarious pictures Jessica, Effie and Emily took of themselves and distorted via the iPad (The iPad, perfect for when they do the exact same lesson in relief society as last week)

  • Have Mike and Britt come for Sacrament Mtg and the linger longer

  • Get your visiting Teaching done and have home teachers come (did I mention the responsibility I have gained in my old age)

  • Get presents, Cheese Soup and Cake!!

  • Monday is a school holiday so the Lowry family decides to kidnap you with a blindfold and everything!! (those sneaky snow spies!! LOVE THEM!!)

  • Paint a Bug (A GIANT mug that is a combo of a Bowl/Mug)

  • Get whisked off to Red Robin (love their fry sauce)

  • Buy Cupcakes at a cute bakery

Thanks for everyone that made my birthday weekend special!! Here's to 25, may it be GRAND!!
