30 Days of Birthday Awesomess: Day One!

I've always loved my birthday! Who doesn't love a day dedicated to celebrating them and the day they were born?! I also love other peoples birthdays! I think everyone should embrace the birthdays and celebrate like crazy. Through the years I've tried to find ways to make my birthday celebration to last longer and longer till finally I came up with birthday month! I was telling my friend Jack about it and he liked the idea so we decided to first do 25 days of Jack since he was turning 25 and then 30 days of Michelle (me) since I'm turning 30! Yes I can't believe I'm turning 30 but if I have to do it then what better way then with 30 days of celebrating?! I'm calling it 30 days of Birthday Awesomeness!

Yesterday was day one. It started by me working in the morning because even though I thought I'd be rich at 30, I still need my minimum wage job. While at work Jack came in and brought me a card that wished me a happy day one. It was so sweet and almost made me cry. He's such a great friend!

Later that day my sister posted this on my Facebook wall:

DAY 1:
A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves - a special kind of double.
Thank you for being enough like me to be awesome, and enough not like me for us to enjoy our differences!
Happy First day of Michelle!

I loved it! She is such a thoughtful sister. And on a day that wasn't the best for her!










Later that night I went to see s special showing theater showing of Scarface. It was a lot of fun and I actually liked the movie better this time around then the first time I saw it. The only thing missing was my brother. He loves Scarface and it would have been nice if we could've watched it together. But I appreciate Brian leaving his work get together early to watch it with me.

So I had a great first day! It was much better then I thought it was going to be. And as I look forward to the next 29 days I know they are going to be amazing not because of all the events I have planned but because of the great people I get to spend them with! I have the best friends and family and that is the greatest gift I could ever ask for!

A New Chapter

Its been over a year since I've updated my blog and a lot has changed. First I became an Aunt! Twice!! Mckenzi and Hailey are the ligts of my life! I never knew it was possible to love anyone as much as I love those two girls! They bring new meaning to my life!

Second thing is I went back to school! I'm going to the Aveda Institute Provo. I absolutely love my school. It is really challenging but I like it. I feel that I am getting the best education! I recently did my first foil ever and it went really well. I really love cometology and am excited about the future!

Good things are happening to me and I look forward to everything that is to come!

Christmas Breakfast

I cooked breakfast for my family this Christmas. It wasn't anything too elaborate just a couple of casseroles, bacon, and saugage swirls. But I understand a little of what my mom went through when we were younger. I prepared the casseroles the night before but there was still a lot of cooking to do in the morning. I went back and forth from opening presents and cooking, trying not to burn anything while I was focused on my gifts! Mom's really must have super powers! Anyways, everyone seemed to enjoy the food so it was a success!

Sausage swirls! My brother said they looked gross (like dogfood) but tasted good!

I'M GOING TO BE A AUNT!!!

My sister is expecting her first child in August! I'm so excited! I knew way before my other family did because my sister wanted to tell them in person. Not saying anything was really hard. It was so fun to watch everyone's faces when my sister told them! My brother got teary eyed. So sweet. My sister is having a difficult pregnancy but she's strong so she'll be ok. I can't wait to meet my nephew or niece (I want a nephew!) I'm going to be the best aunt ever!!

Below are pictures of when my sister told my family. The each opened a box that had a onesie in it. They said: I'm nuts about grandpa, I'm nuts about grandma, My auntie Brittany loves me, and my favorite- If you think I'm cute you should see my uncle Joey!

My mom is super excited! New dad too!


Joe and Britt! You can't see it but Joe has tears in his eyes!


A group photo with everyone's onesies!


Another group photo! Everyone was so happy and excited!
