All I wanted for my birthday was to spend the day with my boys at the Pumpkin Patch. Besides the fact it was 89 degrees on October 11--it was perfect! Nothing like hay rides, slides, farm animals and pumpkins to make a day great. (I won't like I do miss Circle S, but Butler's Orchard was pretty good too).
Now that I am 27 (one of my favorite numbers by the way) I felt I needed to do a little accounting. In the past 27 years I have:
been in school for 19 years
received 3 diplomas (UAHS, BYU, OSU)
been married once
had one baby
served a mission in the Philippines
visited 4 countries (Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Philippines)
seen 26 temples
been inside 7 temples
technically owned 1 car-a 93 Camry purchased by my dad and gifted to me
lived in 2 states (Ohio and Utah) and 1 district (Washington)
Read the Book of Mormon a minimum of 25 times
Read the Old Testament cover to cover once
Rushed the field after 2 football games (State Championship 2000 and OSU vs ND 1996)
taught my Mom how to text
cracked one windshield
wrecked zero cars
had zero speeding tickets (and only a handful of parking tickets)
You get the idea.
All in all I am blessed and grateful for my life!

Happy Birthday! I like your hat, okay I love your hat.
Love you, love hal's onesie, love that reza is on his phone while hal is laughing at him.
ZERO speeding tickets??? Wow, no wonder you were so shocked when I got pulled over twice in one day in Nebraska.
Happy Birthday!
What does that say about me when one of your note worthy accomplishments is teaching me to text. So when you come for Christmas will you teach me to post on a blog, print pictures from the computer and post pictures on facebook. To the best of my knowledge none of my children has gotten a speeding ticket.
