Washington D.C.

Last week the fam traveled to Washington D.C. for a summer vacation. It was great! We visited Arlington National Cemetary, Lincoln Memorial, Holocaust Museum, Library of Congress and the Smithsonians! We saw alot in four days. I think i walked more in those four days then i have in my entire life! On Saturday, I met up with my friend Hannah, who is going to school at American University in D.C. We went to dinner at the small Chinese tea restaurant and gelato for diessert at this Crepe Bakery. One good thing about D.C. is gelato is everywhere! I think we got gelato everyday, but i am not complaining. It was a great trip with beautiful weather and of course we got to experience some D.C. rain, but otherwise it is beautiful there. My favorite place was Jackie K's grave at Arlington because she is my favorite lady. I think she is pretty classy. I also loved the National Gallery and Museum of Natural History and seeing the animals. The prettiest place there is the reflection pool especially at sunset. It is perfect.

SPRING BREAK '08!!

It is almost like a requirement that once you enter college you do the whole spring break adventure. This year, my three best girlfriends Lisa and Rachel set out on the infamous road trip to St. George and none other then LAS VEGAS!! It was alot of fun. Lucky the car did not break down, no flat tires, NO TICKETS and i did not crash for i did the majority of the driving (i like to drive i did not mind). The vacation was a blast. We layed out, got a swim suit line, watched tennis, ate good food and alot of candy as we drove and got no sleep. Tell me you couldn't plan a better vacation. My favorite part of the whole trip had to be watching the Bellagio Fountains to the sing Claire de Lune. If only Brad Pitt or Matt damon had been there to complete the Oceans 11-esque night right?!:) If i tell anymore of my spring break my parents may not be letting me outside the house so i willl just post pics now:)

The End...

I believe i am officially finished with my Birthday extravaganza! Sunday evening mom made my favorite food consisting of white rice, green beans, lemonade, rolls, and cesaer salad. Since thats not much of a dinner, Shannon made chicken that was great! After dinner i opened presents from my sisters. Sarah gave me a necklace with a charm and a peace sign on it! Very me:) Shannon gave me bag with a skull on it and an adorable sweatshirt and Steph gave me a ballet skirt and foot pedicure stuff. I love all my gifts! They are all perfect, my sisters must know me very well!! Best part of the WHOLE night was cake time! Mom made me my favorite confetti cake and had 19 candles on it! Talk about wishes! Izzy was adorable and sang 'Happy Birthday' to me and probably ate more cake then me! It has been a great birthday! Time to plan for next years!

One more day...

To continue the never ending events of my birthday, Friday night I planned on having friends over to hang out and grab pizza at the PIE. One by one, everyone was busy or was coming late, so Lisa, Rachel, Jared, and Eric and myself attended the University of Utah's Gymnastic meet. We won of course! They are amazing! After the meet, my friend Jena met us and we headed to Lisa's dorm to hang out. We are walking in her dorm when the lights flip and everyone yells 'Surprise!' My awesome friends planned a surprise party! All of my friends were there! Rachel made white cake cupcakes that spelled out Happy Birthday Stacie with the number 19 candles! It was alot of fun and i love my friends. Everyone was so nice to give me presents and candy which is always appreciated! After the party we went to the PIE for pizza and partied all night!

More Birthday fun

Thursday, the actual day of my birthday was crazy! Not with parties, but with school! I was so busy with tests, papers and club events, my day was packed! After my big Nutrition test Thursday night, my parents took me to dinner at Marker Street Grill. I got Clam Chowder and everything was better! Mom and Dad were so nice to give me lotion, lip gloss and body wash from Bath and Body works and money to do my hair, which is perfect! They are so nice to me!

On going birthday!

My birthday celebrations continue! Wednesday after my lunch with the girls, Parker came to my dorm to surprise me! He is so sweet and brought my presents! He gave my newest favorite ACROSS THE UNIVERSE and Tibetan Prayer flags to hang in my room. They were great gifts! He knows i love that movie and i love things like the flags (im odd i know:p). Parker's mom was so sweet and made me a covered notebook. It is so cute and i am excited to use it. Parker was sweet to bring popcorn (my favorite) and we watched Across the Universe. It was a great birthday and Parker is a sweetheart.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!1111

One of the best days of the year is MARCH 6TH! My birthday! Birthdays are my favorite holiday It a day completely devoted to one person. It is your own special day! I love it. This year was great! Despite my crazy and stressful week due to school it was still fun. The festivities began March 5th with liz coming to visit me! She drive all the way from logan to celebrate with me! Rachel, Liz and I went to Einstein's for lunch and of course got the classic mudslide cookie with a bagel. It has been our traditional for a year of so:) We sat in Einstein's for two hours talking and of course something funny had to happen. Can you guess who was funny?! If you guessed me you are correct! I was reinacting the time i feel off my computer chair at school and the next thing i know i am on the ground! During my reinactment, the chair slipped from underneath me and i fell...again. Wow what would lunch be without me right?! It was a great afternoon to spend with my best friends!
