26 November 2011 (Haley and I's Birthday!!!)

Well, today was good :) I did surprisingly little but it was a most excellent birthday nonetheless. I was awoken by my little brother Anthony calling me to wish me a happy birthday, and then while I was talking to him my dad called, and then while I was talking to him my twin called. haha so it was great getting woken up by birthday wishes.

After I got up I just kept texting back friends and talking to my family and a few friends who called to wish me a happy birthday too. Not much happened till my parents told me to make sure I was home and then I got a huge delivery from a local bakery and sweet shop full of all kinds of sweet goodies. I was so surprised! I don't think I have ever had so many sugary things at once before! Needless to say, much sharing has yet to occur.

After that I was trying to get people to accompany me to the temple because I really wanted to go, but nobody was really free. That is until about 3:30 or 4:00 my friend Kelsey came over to wish me a happy birthday and it turns out she was driving to the Mount Timpanogas temple and invited me along. So off we went!

The temple was really cool. I think it is the largest one I have ever been in and done work in, but the baptistry was much smaller than that of the Provo temple. But that doesn't surprise me too much because hundreds, maybe even thousands of names are done every day in Provo. We stopped at Krispy Creme on the way back and got a free doughnut apiece and then I went home and Kelsey went back to her family's home.

So, at last I was left to my own devices and I contemplated doing homework, but instead I decided to eat some sweets and read. I proceeded to do so till the mid to late evening when I got another call from a friend, and then another friend of mine Ben came over to hang out and say hi. So we went back to his place after eating more sweets (I think I am going to gain weight now xD) and started Lord of the Rings, Return of the King. Before we had the movie all figured out, Lauren and a friend of hers showed up, and they wished me a happy birthday too. I ended up going over to her place for an hour and watched part of "Hot Rod." Honestly, I don't really recommend it.. but it was good to see Lauren.

After that I returned to Ben's apartment and we watched another hour or so of Return of the King (Extended Edition) until we hit disc two, at which point we decided sleep would be best. So that was that and I went home. After eating more sweets I decided to try to do 150 push-ups before getting in the shower and heading to bed. I am done with 50, have 100 more to go, and after writing this I think I am ready. So, off I go! I need some sleep after all. And I can't thank enough all the people who made my birthday so special :) It was great even though I didn't actually have a party or anything! My friends and family are the best. That is all.

And Happy Birthday once more to my twin sister Haley! You make me happy! :) It is my pleasure to share our birthday :)
