its may! the lovely month of may!

Ok, those aren't the real words of the song from Camelot when Guinevere is frolicking and singing with her lords and ladies. However, if I posted the real words you would think I am up to no good, and I am up to a lot of good. Don’t worry. It is a happy song about May though, and I l-o-v-e the dresses. This 1967 version is a classic and Richard Harris is a stud. No matter how times I watch it I will never understand why Guinevere falls for Lancelot. Personally, I think he is kind of a pansy. The ending brings me to tears nearly every time—one of the few flicks that does. Anyway, back to May.

I love May for many reasons. Spring, strawberries, Cinco de Mayo, Star Wars Day (may the fourth be with you.) Mother's day, and Birthdays—Hannah, Cori, and me.

I had a fabulous birthday weekend this last weekend. My friend, Buck, and I combined forces and planned a brilliant double birthday party. And I mean a super-sized birthday party. I love birthday parties and any reason to celebrate. This was one the best birthday parties I've had since my Chuckee Cheese party last year. (J/K that was my 8th b-day party) I wanted a salsa bar and a bon fire. Buck wanted lots of people and a great sound system. It was all amazing. We had it up Provo Canyon. Buck's friend set up an awesome sound system. Lots of people came. The salsa bar was everything I dreamed it would be—and more. Why a salsa bar? It is a way to enjoy all my favorite foods, fresh and blended together with a slight kick. Peppers, lime, cilantro, tomatoes, mango, pineapple, black beans. I was in heaven. We ended with an outdoor movie. What else, but Star Wars. 

Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with Buck and me. It was a great night.

Sunday (the actual birthday) was a good day. I let myself stay in bed an extra hour reading. I made my favorite breakfast, french toast. I had a lovely day at church. I went home to my family’s home and had a great dinner. My mom made me strawberry shortcake. And I ran around, playing with my nephew.  What more could ask for?!

Now I begin the last year of my twenties. I want to live every moment. I have a few ideas to make that happen. Details to come so stay tuned.
