At Last! I Am a Big Girl!

Okay I know that this was forever ago now but I still think it is blog worthy. Three weeks ago was my birthday. I turned twenty and had a blast while doing it. I've got to say that right around the time I turned 18 all I wanted was to not be a teenager. I had done the teenager thing and was done. Needless to say nineteen came and went and I didn't shed a tear.

I woke up Friday morning and went into the living room to find it filled to the brim with balloons, streamers, flowers and a pinata. The days coming up to my birthday I really hated the idea of making a big fuss for my birthday, and on the whole just wanted to have it pass by unnoticed. When I saw the streamers, however, I realized that I little attention wouldn't kill me.

So I did my makeup, put on my birthday outfit, and ceremonially placed my tiara on my head. Then I headed out the door to class. Let me tell all those girls that have never worn a tiara; it's fun. I mean all that princess was really on to something when she first wore a tiara.

As if the tiara wasn't enough to put me in the center of attention, Deborah gave me a flower and a small present in each one of my classes. Thanks to Deborah everyone knew it was my birthday. She took me out to lunch and when we got back I got flowers from the cutest 6 boys ever, and their pretty amazing parents. Thanks for them, I thought they were beautiful and the candy was delicious.

After that it was a pretty mellow day. I talked to my family back home, and even got the hear my Grandpa sing me the first line of the birthday song! After that and the wise advice to stay happy he passed the phone on, but it was great to hear from everyone. Deborah was prepared to through me a huge party and invite most of the ward, but I was more in the mood to stay calm and watch a movie.

I had a great birthday, and one that I will always remember.
