Happy Birthday to Me!!!

I thought I should probably tell about my birthday, which was on this past Sunday, January 25th. I turned 24 years old - only one more year til my "golden birthday"!
It was a good birthday. When I was a kid, I didn't really like having a birthday on Sunday, but this year I quite enjoyed it.
For my birthday, I decided to ask for a few food items that I enjoy but don't usually buy due to the cost. I'm trying to get away from owning more "stuff" that just fills up my house and then I don't know what to do with it, so I figured that food was pretty practical. But one thing I can't get enough of is books. I had given Jeff and my sister Suzanne a list of books that I would like to own someday, and I got several from my list (so the specific books I got were still a surprise). I LOVE having shelves and shelves filled with my favorite books. I read them over and over and over... I also decided that I want to pick up the hobby of cross-stitching, so I got a few things to help me get started, like needles, thread, and patterns.
It was a wonderful day from beginning to end. I had the opportunity to sing in Sacrament Meeting, which I enjoy doing (even though my legs were shaking the whole time). I sang an arrangement of Lead, Kindly Light and I Need Thee Every Hour that Jeff and I put together, while Jeff accompanied me on the piano.
The only slight damper on the day was the arrival of snow. I am NOT a fan of snow, and it was an uninvited guest on my special day. Fortunately, the roads didn't turn out to be too bad, so we were still able to make it to my parent's house for my birthday dinner. Yay!
