month of celebration

I love celebrating my birthday... all month long.

I went to Oregano's Pizzeria with Rachel and Zac last Saturday.  My bishop brought me Apple Walnut cake with cream cheese frosting on Sunday. And tonight I met up with a few girlfriends of dinner at Cheesecake Factory! I am blessed.

stretchy skirt

I've been wanting to make a comfortable pencil skirt for awhile now. I found this tutorial and decided to try it out today. What do you think? Thanks to my friend, Emily, I have some awesome stiletto's!

Sacramento and my 31st birthday!

I had an amazing trip to Sacramento, California for my 31st birthday. I spent the weekend with my bestest friend, Kristen. We visited, BBQ'd, swam, ate lots of good food, and shopped!!! Here are a few pictures of us after church at the Sacramento Temple.

I also spent a couple of days with my sorority sister, Emily. It had been almost 10 years. We enjoyed a night out for sushi and the new Borne Legacy movie. Here are a few pictures from our lunch outing with her girls, Sophia and Zoe. 

I couldn't have asked for a better birthday getaway.
