Birthday Fun!

Uh...so yeah, I'm twenty. Weird...I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. My youth is pretty much over haha! Well hopefully not. For my last day as a teenager, my mom, my sister, and I went and got pedicures! I always have trouble picking a color because no matter what color I pick it always makes me look so white. But we all picked our colors, sat down, and then Anne (the lady doing Delaney's nails) gave us her life lessons. She begins by telling us about how her parenting strategy was always to let her kids do what they wanted to do and let them learn from their mistakes. Then she went on to tell us how her son was on parole. Delaney was telling us about how a girl in 8th grade got caught with two bottles of vodka (one empty) and then Anne told us of how she caught her daughter drinking at 13. Then she went on to tell us how she was shocked that she was drinking because of how tiny she was. She told her daughter that if she was going to drink she should limit herself to one beer or one shot (her daughter is 13!!!) and she's telling all this to my twelve-year-old sister! My mom was horrified! It was pretty funny!




After pedicures, we went and got ready for dinner: Macaroni Grill!! And one of my best friends Saular came with. Only problem was that Saular was deathly ill. Poor guy barely touched his dinner, but he assured us he would be ok for the Jazz game we were going to after. Well, that ended up being not necessarily true. He could barely watch the game and actually ended up throwing up twice at the game. I felt so bad...I didn't know what to do. It took us about 30 minutes just to walk to down the stairs after the game. But it really was a good game and even though Saular was sick it was still fun to have him there. Afterward, we dropped Saular off at his house and I got to go inside and see my buddies Alex and Mark who I hadn't seen in awhile so that was good. Then I went home and talked to Norman for a very, very long time.

The next morning when I woke up my dad created quite the feast for me. We had omelets and cinnamon rolls! I felt pretty fat, not gonna lie...Then it was time to get ready for church and teach my first lesson in Young Women's. It was on the importance of truth in a virtuous life. I was pretty concerned that my lesson would be too short, and turns out I had good reason to be. I finished 15 minutes early after the girls doodled and talked to each other the whole time. I asked questions and no one would answer them, not even Delaney. But it was fun and a good experience. I came home and took it easy playing guitar hero and such and then we went to Asian Star, my most favorite restaurant in the world! The egg drop soup warms my soul. We dragged Mike along and he seemed to really enjoy it. He told us about how funny Flight of the Conchords, so when we got home we all went and watched an episode. It was pretty funny! We then ate cake and Mike missed it by two seconds! He had Trey on the phone ready to sing to me too! Sorry you guys! We had to light the candles by the stove and the dogs really do not like fire haha but it was one of the best Oliver birthday cakes ever I must say! It was a great birthday and I just want to say how grateful I am and how much I love all of you!!!
