BYU Homecoming Weekend

This past weekend, Rachel and I drove down to Provo to meet up with Dad, Mom, & Dallin for BYU Homecoming Week

We enjoyed the Homecoming Parade on 9th Next to the

Creamery,

Attending the ESPN broadcast,

And cheering on the Cougars during the game,

(which they sadly lost)

Twenty-One

My Birthday celebrations started a few weeks ago when Mom & Dad surprised me with a visit to Arizona

to see

Derek!

We spent the long weekend swimming, shopping, eating yummy food, talking, and having lots of fun!

While there, I opened my present from Derek, which, he wrapped by himself without scissors- talented, huh? I excitedly opened it to see a Webcam!

Now we can video chat with each other every few days, which will be a fun treat!

Thanks Derek! I love you!

On Saturday, my roommates and I headed out for some yummy dinner and a movie to celebrate.

Sunday, my actual Birthday, was full of fun, friends, and treats!
For a few highlights:

{Stephanie, Zack, Meghan, Me, Shawn}

I met Stephanie and Meghan last Fall and we've been friends ever since. I love these girls!

Zack and Shawn were Derek's roommates in the summer, so we had lots of fun together and it was fun to see them!

{Spencer, Katie, Whitney, Me, Kyler}

It was probably the most fun to see all these cute kids walk in the door! We all met our 1st semester at BYU-Idaho back in 2006. Spencer and Kyler were gone the past 2 years serving missions, and returned for a fun reunion! Thank you all for the Birthday wishes!

It's going to be a great year!
