What a fun birthday weekend! Definitely a perk of having a fall birthday is all the excitement that comes with general conference. I started the weekend with an amazing football game on friday night. Go BYU! Then watched batman and made cookies. The next morning while watching conference I made homemade cinnamon rolls....mmm, mmm, good! The afternoon session I watched with my friends Greta and Emily. I think my favorite session was Saturday morning. But of course all the talks are so great. I am going to try really hard to apply their teachings into my life to be more righteous and prepare for what's to come. Saturday night, Greta and I drove up to Salt Lake to stay with my cousins, Alecia and Brittany. They made us dinner and had a little birthday party for me :) It was so nice and thoughful! We played 5 crowns and just talked. It was so nice to spend time with them. I feel like I've never really talked to them that much because they are older and I usually only see them at grandma's when we're with everyone else.
Sunday morning Greta and I woke up super early after not getting that much sleep haha and drove to conference! I absolutely love being in the Conference Center. There is such an amazing spirit there and it's so fun to be in the same room as the prophet and all the apostles. It was also fun to be with Uncle Don and Aunt Marci and Ben and Tim. They of course have fun puzzles to play with and thinking games haha! We went back to Alecia and Brittany's and watched the second session and did homework and then headed back to Temple Square to see the Pearsons and to take pictures at the temple. Temple Square is one of my most favorite places and it's so nice to be so close to it now!

Oh but the weekend doesn't end there. After getting home and being completely exhausted my friends decide to inform me that they're "kidnapping" me at 12:01 when it's officially my birthday and taking me to In N Out. At approximately 12:01 I hear a knock at my door and open it to find Greta, Keza, Chloe, and Emily there with streamers, balloons, and straw noise makers haha! We then went to the car. I opened the door and was a little shocked to find someone in there! It scared me haha but they want Aaron to be a surprise. So being squished against the door and Aaron we made our way there. It was very tasty and Emily decided to get on the table and announce to the whole restaurant that it was my birthday and everyone sang to me. Kind of embarassing haha but it was fun!
The next morning I wake up kind of stressed about life. But as the day went on it got a lot better and I had a great day. I went and got myself dinner at my favorite place, Zupas, went to Jamba Juice to get the Pumpkin Smash smoothie (you must try it!), and a cupcake at the Cocoa Bean. Sounds like a fabulous meal to me :) I then went and played Conference Jeopardy for FHE and spent time with my friend Jordan and skyped my family :) Being old didn't turn out to be that bad! I look forward to this coming year and all it has in store.
