Family

Last week Feb 2nd my bro in law Kallen Shira came home from his mission and I met him for the first time. The Short time he was here I enjoyed very much with family, and just watching them goof off. Also while they were here I got to connect with my niece and nephew some more. I would hold my nephews hands and walk around with him alot! Also would play with my niece, read books, and I had the chance to do her hair for church. She did such a good job being still, but that was because she got into my make up.

20

It's my 20th birthday (jan 29th 2012)!!! by the way I noticed now that blogger is changed a bit, when I post something it's shown posted the day I posted it where as before If i had it sitting as a rough draft for a while then post it, it shows posted as the day I started the rough draft... I liked it better that way.

Any way, Mitch took me to Iggys on friday (it was a surprise) and he got me a willow tree "I Love You" just because he saw it and thought of me. Saturday we went and played raqetball with Aileen and Trevor, and on my actual bday Sunday he got me the cutes boots ever!!!! I really enjoyed my birthday and that is all I have to say! :)
