HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I had a great birthday thanks to my wonderful family and friends.

I was so spoiled to wake up to breakfast in bed and a pile of presents from my cute hubby. He took me on a shopping trip sponsored by Pam and Randy (Thank you!!!) before I had to go to work.

Zak spent the whole day cleaning and baking me a cake which he lit with his mini blowtorch. After work, my family took us out to dinner and came over to eat cake.

I got to wear my new and awesome "Pocket Shirt" (thanks Heidi!). The band across the front creates a perfect pocket to store all of my goods. I can put my lip gloss in there, my keys, my cell phone.... I always wanted to be able to store stuff there, and now thanks to my great shirt, I totally can!

On Saturday, We had a joint party with my cousins for my Dad and me. It was lots of fun. (And the pictures turned out much better.)

The coolest thing that I got was my awesome Nativity from my parents. Now we are set to celebrate Christmas!

The Greatest Testing Center Experience Yet

Last night I had to take a yucky stats test in the testing center. I was really worried about it. I didn't know what, or how to study for it so I just went in to take it. I had a real fear of missing every single question. I prayed that I would get at least one right so I wouldn't look like a total fool. I got in there and sat down. It took me a half an hour to do the first 10 questions (out of 67). I was very discouraged and planned to spend the rest of my existence sitting at that stupid desk. Then I came to one that I thought I understood and I heaved a sigh of relief. At least I got that one right. That was the only time I felt like I understood something the whole time.

When I was about half way through the test Zak called me and my phone started to ring. I think they can kick you out of BYU if that happens, especially if your ring tone is "Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake.

When I finally got to the essay question at the end, I was thoroughly confused and I wanted to go home. I didn't understand the question at all, so instead of "calculating the answer and showing my work" I drew a picture and stuck some numbers in it and totally guessed an answer and made up a reason why it should be true. It was as good as saying "Here, Take these 14 points. I don't need them."

Then I ran home as fast as my legs would carry me.

The End.

Happy Birthday Dad!

We celebrated my dad's Birthday by going up to Park City for the weekend. We went to my FAVORITE favorite Mexican restaurant and ate the YUMMIEST chicken Flautas you can imagine.

We carved pumpkins while we were up there. sorry that the pictures are so lame (blogger is being dumb.) But Zak carved an awesome one with our last name going around it all fancy.
