Happy, Happy Birthday to Me!

• Ok so this picture was taken on New Year's Eve, but it looks like I'm celebrating my Birtday!
  
  

Today is my birthday, another year gone by. I started thinking that maybe this last year wasn't all too exciting, I didn't have any babies or go to school or move. But I guess just living life is exciting enough, and I'm lucky our family gets to do a lot of really fun stuff! So here are some of the things I did this past year.

Trips I went on:

*Manhattan, New York
*San Diego, California
*Showlow, AZ
*Ward Campout
*St. George (5 times)
*Staycation at the Pointe

Parties I went to:
*Elizabeth's baby shower
*Courtney's baby shower
*Leti's baby shower
*Stephanie's baby shower
*Lots of birthday parties
*Rud Reunion
*Lots of ward parties
*New Year's Eve Family Party

Books I've read:

*Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, Emma, Mansfield Park all by Jane Austen

*Animal Farm- George Orwell

*The Other Boleyn Girl, The Constant Princess, The Boleyn Inheritance, The Queen's Fool, The Virgin's Lover, The Other Queen, and The White Queen all by Phillipa Gregory

*The Devil's Queen- Jeanne Kalogridis
*The Plagenet Prelude- Jeanne Plaidy
*Cleopatra's Daughter- Michelle Moran
*Cookbooks (at least 25 cover to cover, I know I'm a nerd)
*My Sister's Keeper- Jodie Picoult

This next year I hope is even more exciting. Things to look forward to Ethan going to kindergarten, Joshua to preschool, swim lessons again, getting pregnant (hopefully), and maybe a Disneyland trip sometime this year.
