A Birthday for the Books

Oprah Winfrey once said, "The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate." 

I think she is right. When is Oprah ever wrong? 

So this past weekend I decided to take a leaf out of Oprah's books and celebrate life. And the day of celebration was indeed my birthday. 

Being the luckiest girl in the world, or at least in Utah County, I got to celebrate my birthday on our school's Preference. So undoubtedly, I got a new birthday dress and danced the night away! And the best part was that I got to celebrate with some of my best friends!

The only way to describe my delight is through pictures:

It started with my wonderful friends surprising me with icecream

And more treats later that night (my sweet tooth was in overdrive)

Sorry for the terrible picture quality! Iphones were put to good use this night.

I'm on the Bandwagon

I know this is somewhat of a hipster thing, but I caved. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not a hipster. However, I have read a few good blogs here and there, so I channeled my inner Hemingway and decided to put my life into words. So consequently, this is what came of it. A blog. Sarah Collins has a blog. 

I can only hope to amount to your highest expectations and I thank you for reading. Although if you do not enjoy what you read, I probably wont care much because blogs are supposed to be personal posts about my inner thoughts.

(yeah right)
