A Grand Day Out

I'm so grateful to my friends and most especially to my family for making my 21st birthday one I will always remember! It was filled with all of my favorite things; running, eating, games, friends, and most especially, family. I'm grateful to Ell for being my escort as I went through the temple for the first time. I'm so glad she was there by my side and don't know what I would have done without her! Thanks Paul and Cash for letting me take her away from you for the afternoon!
I'm also thankful for Rod and Jo, and Steve and Shirley for making the extra effort to get their boys a babysitter so that they could be there with me. It made the experience ten times better!

(After posing for dozens of photos we had to get one that showed some "pizzaz" as Rod called it! ow ow!)

I'm thankful for the support of those who couldn't be there as well; Dad, Mom, Marg, Tom, and Andy. Know that I was thinking about you as I was sitting in the temple! I'm looking forward to the day when I can go through with you all!

Dinner was great at Mi Ranchito's and games and cake at Rod and Jo's was a blast.

Who would've thought I'd get to this point in my life?! Time truly flies when you're having fun!
