(portrait by buff)I turned 25 just over a week ago. Along with getting older, I have also gotten blonder... which fits perfectly because one thing I did not get for my birthday is wiser. However, I was generously spoiled by many thoughtful friends and family members. THANKS TO ALL who made my birthday great!










This year for Halloween we went all out! I got overly ambitious and made all of our costumes. In doing so, I have come to find out I like to sew! Landon did pretty well for us this season. We got to go trick-or-treating 3 times. Once with the Hammonds at Intel (where Ray works, thanks for the invite guys!), once at the ward trunk-or-treat, and once on Halloween night. Needless to say, Sam and I are greatly enjoying the spoils! We met up with family and some friends at the Hammond's annual Halloween party for some delicious soup, bread bowls, and homemade doughnuts (thanks Em and Karin)! The company and events made for a fantastic evening!
