"sleep" over.

so, as some of you may know this coming tuesday is MY BIRTHDAY!!! and as it turns out, monday is my roommate michelle's birthday. so for a few weeks now we have planned to have a sleepover this past friday as our roommate birthday celebration! the night started with a trip to winco to buy groceries (this was more just because we needed to go to winco than being an actual part of our celebration process). after we got home from the store we got pizza from papa murphys (i think their pizza is de-li-cious!) and rented man on a ledge. we started our party night off by eating pizza and opening gifts. that was a lot of fun!  it was funny to see what my roomies got me, most of them were just inside joke gifts, and they were definitely funny! they did buy me this tasty smelling soap i have been wanting, and they helped me in my endeavor to build my disney princess movie collection by buying me beauty and the beast. we got michelle a lot of gifts for our plans for next weekend. its always fun to give and receive gifts!! we also gave michelle a "girly hick" hat. we found them on sale at walmart and all bought one, again for this weekends adventure, we sure look cute in them if i do say so myself.

we then brought all of our beds out to the living room so we could have a most comfortable and enjoyable sleep over. after that we played with the golf set i was given. it was funny. it was definitely made for a small child, its so tiny, but it was fun getting to go outside and act like little kids for a while.

next we got rid of our blackheads

enjoyed some sparkling cider

and delighted ourselves in a facial to "purge our pores"

shelby bought these awesome balloons that glow in the dark and so we also spent quite a bit of time playing with those.

after all of that excitement and adventure (we left for winco around 430 and when we ended all the above events it was 1030) we settled in to watch pearl harbor (because michelle had never seen it before). we snuggled up in our beds, ate some oreo cookies, and practiced our sniffling choir. i forgot how amazing (and long) that movie is! it was fun to watch it again. after the movie we just talked and laughed and made fun of our sniffling choir and finally went to sleep around 4 in the morning. it was a great sleep over. i am so extremely grateful for my roommates. these 3 girls make my life so much better than i could have ever imagined. i love them!!!

scripture of the day:
D&C 88: 33 For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receive not the gift? Behold, he rejoices not in that which is given unto him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift.

today i am thankful for:
* wonderful roomies who make my birthday so great!
* a great friend who calls and keep me updated about her life.
* a little brother who is such a special part of my life (i don't think he understands how much i talk about him and miss him).
* fun things to do with friends.
* the small things in life.
* prayer.
