Birthday #25.

As always, thanks to my WONDERFUL family & friends, my birthday was once again, a wonderful day. I am so blessed to have people in my life that sincerely care about me. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have all of the support and love they have all given me, especially this past year.

Every year, my sweet mom and I go to Orem for some shopping & movie. I always look forward to it because we always seem to giggle the entire time, and shop til our poor feet just can't take anymore. (that's where the movie comes in) Our bodies enjoy the nice break of sitting in a movie theater after such a long day. This year we went to "New Year's Eve." Despite negative reviews from critics and from some people I have talked to, I personally enjoyed it. It was a cute chick flick.

The next day Dustin played in the annual Alumni basketball tournament. We always have so much fun catching up with those that are able to make it. I know it's something Dustin looks forward to. He lives, eats & breathes basketball...;) They play in teams of graduation years, and there are people ranging from high school to those who are now in their 50's. I love it. They all take it SO seriously and their competitiveness is as high as it was in their teens!!!

Jaiya was able to meet her cousin Beckahm. They were so cute together. Too bad Jaiya was getting sick. She was a little cranky those couple of days!;(

On my actual birthday, Dustin, Jaiya and I went to El Mexicano for lunch. We were sitting at our table eating, and I heard the "Happy Birthday" song coming my way...Mom & Krista showed up with this ADORABLE cake that Krista made me. She knows how I adore fondant, and could eat it til I'm sick, so she wanted to surprise me with my very own cake. Sweetest thing ever. She is so thoughtful. And notice there is a shoe on top...she knows me well!

I also got a picture of the Savior that I have been wanting for the longest time from my Mom and Jerry. I was so surprised and I am SO happy I finally have it!

That night, mom and Jer took us to South China to eat. I love that place. Best salads and sushi...Mmmm.

After dinner at South China, we went to see MI4. It was really good. I love action movies!!!

Thank you to everyone that took the time to wish me a Happy Birthday. I was so surprised that so many people remembered!
