Turning Twenty

First thing I did when I woke up was open up my packages
Thank you Family! I love you guys. The letters were all lovely. Jacob's and Nicole's (shown below) definitely gave me an extra laugh.

After church  the kids and I went to the Garden of Gethsemane.
Awesome. How many people in the world can say they went to the Garden of Gethsemane on their birthday?
This life I'm currently living is too great.

They sang Happy Birthday to me :)

Hello world! I am now entering the decade of decisions! Yes, I’m twenty. Yesterday at Dinner I was talking to some friends about decades. We decided that 10-19 is the most important decade of our lives seeing as those ten years really define who we are and set the course for the rest of our lives. The twenties (ahem…my current decade) will involve many important decisions including where to live, who to marry, kids, major, career, all the good stuff.

I've officially lived twenty years. I made it without any major bumps or bruises. I'm so grateful for all the people I've met over these past twenty years, so happy the way my life has turned out thus far. I am who I am today because of the Church. Everything about it has shaped who I am. So here I am world, the twenty-year old me makin' decisions!
