Im Soooo Old!!!

 So yesterday October 30 was my 19th birthday. I know Im getting sooo old its so weird. It was pretty cool to have my birthday on the unofficial day of halloween. When I was little it was so cool cuz then I got presents and candy on the same day it was like I was hitting the jackpot but now that Im older its not as cool.  We started celebrating my birthday on friday and we went to Maddox for dinner which was delicious. I stayed up till midnight to tell myself Happy Birthday. Everyone does that right.....right? I was expecting a happy birthday text at midnight from my sister cuz thats her thing but she was already asleep. That morning my mom made breakfast burritos for breakfast which is good cuz I was craving one really bad.



The most memorable thing I did on my birthday was my haircut ( you'll see it in later pictures) Ive been wanting a hair cut for awhile and I finally got around to calling and I finally got the style I wanted. Plus I figured since im 19 I wanted a change and this was the perfect way. I chopped a lot off I didnt even wanna hear i probably would have started panicking. But its so cute and exactly what I wanted. i absolutely love it.



My hair cut( well the best picture I could get)



After that We went up to Logan so my mom could get the presents and I could get me some new jeans for my birthday. While my family was getting my present I sat at my grandma's house and she told me all these ghost stories and we just talked. My grandma and grandpa are so funny i love talking to them.

Time to get to the presents.From my grandma and grandpa I got $20. My grandma kept saying i got $19 plus a dollar. From my family I got the new moon piano music, I really just enjoy the music and love to play the piano. I also got the eclipse score which is amazing. I got the vampire diaries soundtrack which has some awesome songs on it. I also got a cd thingy I can put on my visor- do those things even have a name- also from my grandma i got these fleece pj pants that are super soft and warm....oh and pens.

Us at wingers eating pie

I didnt really do much for my birthday. I gave out the candy to the trick or treaters which is fun I like to see the costumes. Me and my sisters went to go get ashpalt and concrete pie at wingers..it was delicious!!!! And when I got home we watched The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. If you havent seen that movie you definitely need to its the best!! Don Knotts is hilarious.

I loved getting all the birthday wishes from my friends and I spent the day just like  i wanted to, with my family. Im not a big party person and every time I have one 2 or 3 people come so I wanted to spend the day with my family. This birthday was awesome and perfect I wouldnt have changed a thing.

Time to Catch Up

It's been awhile since I last blogged. My main excuse is that I havent done anything blogworthy and I havent really thought of a subject. To be honest I have had a couple subjects pop into my head but it was just too personal, I didnt really wanna put it out there for everyone to read. But my life so far has been pretty okay. Its just the same routine practically everyday i get up i go to school i do homework and i go to work. I have had a couple movie night with friends. Also my sister got me hooked on ONE TREE HILL I love that show!!!
But I wanted to talk about my experience today. For all you who are LDS its a very exciting weekend this weekend. Its general conference and we get to hear council from the prophet and general authorities.

                                      This is the First Presidency. Prophet Thomas S. Monson and his counselors Henry  B Eyring and Dieter F Uchtdorf
This year since I am a single young adult I got the opportunity to go with a couple of friends. I wish I had taken a camera I could have gotten some good pictures. But we went down to the conference center to listen. The highlight of the day was when I got to actually got to see the Prophet. It was so cool, when he entered the room it all went quiet. And I got to sustain them as the prophet and general authorities, i usually do that in the living room while Im watching it on tv. I have to admit I sorta dozed through the whole session. But I did take some notes in my planner cuz I forgot a notebook another thing I wish I had brought.
Robert D. Hales a general authority said " Returning to the lord isn't easy but it's worth it"
Quintin L. Cook also a general authority said " It is by the Lord that men know good from evil"
Richard Higby presiding bishop said" CHOOSE FAITH, We ar responsible of our own faith and our lack of our faith. It is a choice"
This experience made me grateful to be a member of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints and I am proud to say it.
Of course the day was pretty fun too, we got lost and saw the stake president and his wife, we ate at subway and just talked  I really enjoyed it.
                   Till next time, Jodi
