Thanksgiving

We had fun in Utah for Thanksgiving. I loved seeing my family. I went with my nieces to feed the ducks (which kind of freaked me out when they came swarming next to me). They kept trying to protect me by kicking the ducks away from me. We also went to a fun new place called Jump on It where we played on their wall to wall trampolines. One of my nieces showed us her latest trick which is doing the spreads and touching her nose to the ground. It was really imporessive. I loved seeing everyone and can't wait to go back.


Birthday


I had a great birthday. My acutal birthday was while we were in Hawaii and we had a lot of fun eating and shopping. Cole and I celebrated my birthday together a few days later. He surprised me with a cookie bouquet delivery at work which for anyone who knows me cookies are my favorite food so it was really thoughtful. He also got me a jacket and a purse. We went to Biaggi's, an Italian restaurant in Champaign (the town), to eat and it was soooo good. I like it better than Olive Garden or Maccaroni Grill. Thanks Cole! My work had a cake to help me celebrate and it was my favorite kind. It was really nice. I am a little depressed to be 24 because it seems kind of old to me. I wonder how I'll feel when I turn 30?

Vacation

We had so much fun in Hawaii. We went to Maui with my parents. We went snorkeling, parasailing, shopping, drove the road to Hanna, and ate... A LOT! I tried fish for the first time and kind of liked it. Parasailing was fun and actually kind of relaxing. I thought it would be really scary but it wasn't. My favorite thing was just hanging out at the pool. Our pool had a little water slide and was really beautiful. Me and my Mom would practice our swimming strokes and had a lot of fun. I had to post the pictures below to fit everything.
