**Spring Break**

Ok. So this is a little bit late, maybe a lot a big late, but better late then never :)

For Spring Break Kenny and I went back home. Kenny took the week off from work so he got a whole week off school AND work. (Or so he thought) As soon as we got home, we stopped by to drop off 11,000 feet of wire to my dad (crazy!) and we ended up staying and helping him pull wire... He has several jobs going right now for his business on top of working 60+ hours a week at the hospital... So needless to say he stays pretty busy all the time, and I honestly don't know how he does it all... But we got to help him pull wire, Kenny was pretty excited because he has been wanting my dad to teach him how and he got PLENTY of experience during Spring Break...

When we weren't pulling wire, every other minute was spent with our families... My sister, Bratty's, birthday was Wednesday March 17th and she turned 12, Jaeden's was Friday and he turned 10 and so was my dad's, he is 40 :) So we had 3 birthday parties :)

This is a picture of all the kids at their birthday party... we went to the bowling alley... lots of kids and lots of fun :)

We also took Avyonne and Kayden snowboarding and taught them... They were definitely good sports about it and said they would like to do it again (so that's good :) ) They fell quite a bit but picked it up towards the end of the day...This is a picture of the boys, taking a break on one of their runs down the mountain :)

On a sadder note, our Hedgehog died the day we were leaving back home... He looked terrible, he was blue in the face and we started calling around to see how much it would be to put him down... $98... So we went to lunch and I came back and looked at him, I didn't think he was breathing so I touched him and he was hard as a rock... I guess he didn't want us spending anymore money on him... Poor guy... RIP Knuckles :) Kenny was pretty sad, but the pet store is giving us another one because he had an auto-immune disease so it wasn't our fault and nothing we could do about it...Good news... We got another hedgehog... He is so little right now, and his name is Sonic... Hopefully soon he will be old enough and we will start breeding them :) I will try to post pictures of him soon...

I know this isn't much, and I didn't post near as many pictures as I have... Or get to everything we did over spring break... But I really shouldn't be on here at all... This week and next week are INSANE for me!!! So many tests, papers, tests... ugh... It seems like my teachers waited to the very end to pile things on... So let's just hope I can make it through these next couple weeks... Then SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER TIME!!!!

**Birthday**

Me and my aunt at my birthday party

Me and Kasyn at my birthday party Me and my sister at my birthday party :)

Haha well my birthday... Hmmm... I had class til 10 that night... (So no I didn't get trashed) But I had a break from 4 to 530 and Kenny took me to this really nice restaurant for dinner... I loved it and had so much fun :) And then I went to class and came home and did some homework... And then went to bed... Nothing too extravaggant.... I did get a lot of birthday texts and a few birthday calls :) Which was nice :)

This is what my sister and justin got me, my own longboard :)

This is Kenny and I headed to the elephant bar :)

Pretty flowers my aunts got me :)

Me And Darrell at my birthday party :) Haha well the night before Wednesday night, but aunts made me dinner and we all went over there and I opened presents from everyone... Got a whole bunch of cute clothes, Kenny got me a giftcard to the mall to buy more clothes, and a bunch of movies and candy and fun stuff :) He got me this movie called The Gifted Hands... If you haven't seen it I HIGHLY recommend it... I call it my inspirational movie... When I'm having a really hard week or feel like giving up I watch this movie and somehow decide to keep moving forward :) It has Cuba Gooding in it :) Anyways so after that I went home and did some more homework...

And Friday, my friend Candida took me to a movie and dinner... We went and watched Dear John (Another really good movie) haha I cried in it, I know I'm lame it's ok... And then we went out to Japanese Kitchen and they sang to me and threw food at me haha... And then we headed back to the house... When I get there I walk in and "SURPRISE!!!!" Haha there were like fifty people there for my birthday party (I know I still have birthday parties lol) It was so sweet of Kenny to plan a surprise party, especially cuz I didn't really get to hang out with any of my friends during my birthday or anything... This was right after the movie, as you can see I look like I have been crying haha :)

So overall, I had a wonderful birthday :) And I can't believe that I'm 21, it seems like I just got out of highschool and then I think about it and I have almost been out of highschool for 3 years, and am about ready to graduate from college...Life really does go by fast when you're having fun :)

Awww me on my birthday :)

Haha sorry the pictures are all over the place... This thing was not cooperating with me....
