My 18th Birthday and A New Blogger

So I decided since I am starting a new life I should start a blog!
I am moving to Provo, UT in about 3 weeks to start working at Doterra. I am sad to leave behind my life in Washington but I can't wait for the new opportunities that await me in the coming months. I will be working to save up money for beauty school in the next couple of years.
In preparation for moving I have bought a few things, and gotten a few things from friends. My favorite thing so far that I have gotten is this blanket from IKEA for 20 bucks!
I thought it was gorgeous so I splurged on it :)
For my birthday I got a beautiful comforter set from Kohls, I don't have a picture of it right now but once I move into my apartment I will post pictures of my bed set as a whole. I also got some really cute new dresses for work since I need to dress professionally.One of the dresses goes with my favorite pair of shoes that has never had an outfit to go with it. Hooray!!

Sharla took me out to lunch for my birthday and we went to Red Robin. While we were sitting and eating we both simultaneously saw a very attractive bus boy, and let me tell you , he was pretty! When we got our bill Sharla told our server that we were celebrating my birthday so she went and got my sundae and balloons. I was really hoping that the cute bus boy would come and sing to me, and he did! He was cleaning a table across from us right when they started to do the shout-clap-birthday-thing they do. I was quite happy, that made the song extra special! After lunch we went over to Ross to go shopping for some good work clothes. I found a few good things like a fancy shirt with a belt built into it, nice black pants, and a dress that is a shirt and pencil skirt sewn together. Usually those types of dresses don't flatter me very well but I was in luck so I took advantage of the rarity.

Later that day Nikki and I took a quick trip to the Seattle Temple. I took her for her birthday last year and we just sat on the grounds and talked for a good couple hours. We had a very nice time talking about life and all the upcoming changes in both our lives.

I have enjoyed living so close to a beautiful temple and I can't wait to live within walking distance of one temple and a short drive from 20 more temples!

Overall, I had a terrific birthday and am anxious to move on to the next chapter in my life. Another post to come soon!

  2. I didn't know you had a blog until I commented on the Eakins and saw your comment. So glad you're blogging...it's a fun way to "journal" (at least that's what I use mine for). I also signed my mom up to just get it in email form so she can have an update of my life. haha Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday!
