Overall, it was an awesome party filled with some family and close friends, and we got to celebrate Addie's first birthday! I loved the Elmo theme, and appreciated all the hard work Natalie (and Kenny and Erica) put into the party and decorations!

Let me know what you think!

Thanks friends.

Okay, so last night was our ward closing social. And although I am staying for Spring term, many of these people aren't staying, so I brought my camera. Wish I would've gotten more pictures, but alas, tis life. Well, point is- I love this ward and these people and I am really gonna miss everyone!

Anyways, that's all for now. More confessions to come.

I was SOOO nervous, but Rachel came to support me, and that meant everything! If you wanna see the performance, comment on here with your email (or send me an email) and I'll give you the link. It wasn't my best performance yet, but I did decent.

Anyways, that's all for now. More confessions to come.
