So the last week and a half has been amazing!!! My 22nd birthday was on Friday May 22nd! I had a bonfire with a bunch of my friends up provo canyon...here are some pics. :)

This is my Golden Year purse that my friend Angie gave me...she put a bunch of candy with golden wrappers in it. I think it's awesome!

This is one of my bestest friends ever, Denise!!! I freakin love this girl!

Another one of my good friends, Nicole, made me this cake. I was in awe! It was amazing and tasted great as well. :) So overall, my birthday was awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Right after my birthday bonfire I went straight to Salt Lake with my friend Denise. She dropped me off at my other friend Brook's apartment where I slept that night. We were leaving the next morning for Oregon for a vacation. Brook leaves tomorrow for her mission to Louisiana, and so I went home with her for a week to spend some time with her. Here are some pictures from our adventure. :)

Brook, Me, and Denise (all of us met freshman year at the U), taking our last picture together before Brook leaves. The next morning (the 23rd), Brook and I got up early and packed her car. We were literally holding stuff in the car trying to shut the back of it. It was so full!!!

On the beautiful drive to Oregon! Actually...this is the best part of the drive, when you get into the Northern end of Oregon, driving along the Columbia River, looking at Washington on the other side. The 12 hour drive was a lot of fun! But we were both happy to get to Brook's house.

The Portland Temple! It is really pretty!!!

This is when we went and hiked Silver Creek Falls. There are about 10 different falls spanning about 7 miles that you can hike around. We made it around about 7 of them which was about 5 miles. It is so beautiful up there, the falls are amazing!!! If you ever go to northern Oregon, go hike these falls, you won't regret it. And of course I had to take a picture of me and Brook. :)

Pacific City beach! This was the place that I got the most sunburnt. :) It was such a beautiful day at the beach, and we had a lot of fun! This is one of the best pictures I got while we were there.

Again, me and Brook on the beach...this is the last picture I got to take with her for the next year and a half. On Sunday the 31st I came home. I took my first airplane ride. :) It was pretty cool. It was hard to leave Brook in Oregon at the airport, but all is well. The hardest was for me to call her about an hour ago and say goodbye for the last time. I will admit I was crying, but she is one of my best friends. I'm glad I got to spend a week and a half with her before she left. It was definitely a great week. :)
