My 17th Birthday...




I came home from school to this fabulous mess. My mom and her very good friend Shauna decided to TP my room. It was EVERYWHERE!!! There was also chocolate on my bed, and balloons on the floor. It was so sweet and it totally made my day. Thank You!!!

These are my presents. I didn't get very many this year because I got clothes from my grandma this summer and I was able to go to Spain, so I can't complain. I did get a hair straightener, a darling hot chocolate kit, and a little froggy notepad (thank you Claire, I love it). I also got a shirt and a few other things from friends. It was very nice.


My friend Paradees baught me these beautiful roses. They have been on my windowsill for over a week and they are still looking like this. GORGEOUS!

I didn't get a birthday kiss from a guy, so I kissed my balloon instead.


It's kind of wierd to think that in three years I'm going to be 20, and even scarier to think that I will be moving out within the next two. It's amazing how fast time fly's..... I am so grateful to have parents that have raised me right. I know that when I move out, I will be a better person because of the things that they taught me. I actually know how to scrub a toilet, fold clothes, wash dishes, and do my own laundry. But more importantly,I know how to be kind, I can be fair, I know that when I fall my family is always there to back me up, and I know that the church is true. Throughout my life, my parents have taught me to love the Gospel and I now have my own strong testimony of our Savior. I want to thank my parents for always being there and for raising me right. I can fall back on them at any time and I know that through good times and through bad, they will always love me. Thank you. I love you!

Beka...I am sooooo proud of you. You are not only beautiful on the outside but more importantly on the inside. We love you alot and wish we were closer. Norway is so far away, but you are having such a valuable experience, and that you can not put a price on.
Love you.
