10.26.10

On Monday, Breeanna a girl in my Family Home Evening (FHE) group, decorated cookies to celebrate my birthday.



It did say "Happy Birthday Karee," BUT Kevin (the one from Canada) switched it around to say, "Happy Bathday Kreeri." Then when they sang to me they said "bathday" as well so I have to wonder if they were trying to say something... I thought I looked clean.



Another birthday surprise was this sweet little girl, Maggie. She and I have been pen pals for the past few months. She called me Monday to see if she could stop by to drop something off. (she lives 15 minutes away now). She came by with and brought a cute little bamboo plant! I don't have a picture of it yet, but it will be coming soon.



So my teacher was right and I got my birthday wish. . . SNOW!!! When Chelsea told me it was snowing I was so excited I almost wiped out on the kitchen floor in my haste and excitement to see the snow. It wasn't that much snow, but it was enough to satisfy. Later we heard screaming and yelling outside, and when we looked out the window we saw a Autumn winter wonderland. And a snowball fight forming. The snow flakes were huge and stuck to the ground!
I thought this was the best birthday gift I could ever have until 12 that night. I had fallen asleep on the couch watching a movie with Chelsea. Around 12, Chelsea woke me up and said that there was someone at the door. (Let me just say that this is kind of scary to hear after watching When a Stranger Calls So I was a little hesitant to get up and answer it.) But when I looked through the peep-hole I could not believe my eyes! MY MOM!!! She wasn't supposed to come (or so I thought) until Wednesday night and yet there she was standing in my front door. That was by far the BEST!
I got to spend most of today with her and was just so happy! She came to my Book of Mormon class and then after my other two classes we had lunch and then met up with one of her old roommates for ice cream. She took me birthday shopping and then we rushed off to Salt Lake to meet up with Kamber and her finance's family for dinner. We are going to be doing the whole wedding planning thing and trying on dresses. It will be so much fun! Pictures will come!
