I went to my Book of Mormon class and ended up getting out early because the Prophet was coming to speak at devotional! I wasn't planning on going to the Marriott Center because my class is fairly far away and I knew it would be crazy crowded. But since we got out early, I decided to head over there and I was so glad I did! I ended up sitting fairly close the the floor a little to the right behind President Monson. Devotional was awesome, he talked about all the presidents of the church that he knew and for each he said their favorite food, hynm and a way in which they lived their life. I loved sitting behind the teleprompter because then I could see when he went off the teleprompter and just started telling his own stories! You should definitely watch it online, it was very, very funny!Another exciting thing about devotional was that I got to meet my Board reader friend/blogger/photographer extraordinair Chillygator! I knew she would be there, and I thought I had spotted her, when President Monson came she whipped out her big beautiful camera and I was sure it was her! After devotional was over I went down and talked to her, which was way fun, I felt like I was meeting a celebrity, ;) My first real life Board friend! Hopefully if she ever stops traveling the world for a weekend, we'll go on a photo adventure! ;) And Dough Rey Mi can come too, because I called her right after and she was jealous. :]

I went back to my place for lunch, and back to my last class which also got out early! My sister Elaine surprised me with a pedicure which was so great, because I've never had one before! It was way fun, and I love showing off my pretty pink toenails! I don't have a picture of that because who really needs to see a picture of my feet? ;) We went and got Tucker and Sheldon and went to Legends for dinner! It was really good, and I was definitely full afterword. I got to open up presents and I got lots of awesome gifts!
My friend Andria visited me monday to give me a bag that is perfect for my sunday stuff and a blank notebook! Yay! My friend Liv gave me and iTunes gift for the first Rooney cd, which I've been wanting for a long time and yesterday in the mail she sent me a way cute Wilderness Explorers Scrapbook from UP! It's super cute, I can't wait to fill it up, and it came with a magnifying glass which I'm really excited to use sometime. :) My brother sent me an iTunes giftcard (still deciding what to use it for, Pushing Daisies soundtrack maybe?) and a super awesome bike camera mount that he made! My mom sent me a big package of some movies and stuff I'd been asking for. She aslo sent me some food, some cute Disney artwork and a new Shannon Hale book. I finished it in a few days, and I liked it! My mom on the other hand would definitely not like it, it is definitely very different from the other books she's written. I also got a cute package from my friend Ginger, with a ton of glowsticks and a burned cd that had music that we danced to at Disneyland, so that was way cute and nostalgic.
When I got back from Legends, I found my door even more decorated than before! Alyssa had put a cool Hatter drawing on my door, and her roomate made awesome newspaper snowflakes!

My floor came and sang to me and brought me cupcakes! They were so yummy, and I probably had 3 or 4 every day until they were gone! :) Probably not the healthiest thing ever, but it's my last year as a teenager, I have to live it up somehow!
And a random picture, I finished putting up all my pictures on my wall! I really don't like how they are organized though, I want more of a collage look, [like these] but that's hard to do when the pictures are all the same size, I don't have frames, and I don't have a budget. If you guys have any ideas let me know!
I'll end this extremely long post now. My birthday ended up really great! Things are going well here. My first midterms are next week, but I'm not too worried, I think if I put in the effort to study things will go well. Hope all is well in Cali!
This is a little after I started, these were the two layers I was taking down.
