No Longer 16 going on 17

 Yum!

 I gave a talk on Sunday that I'll post later. My red lipstick from recital stained by lips in random places so I had to just reapply so it was at least even. It didn't end up looking horrible! 
More yummy food from the 'Sunday King Prebirthday Barbecue Feast'
 Lunch at ParkStone



Trying on a 1.2 million dollar wedding ring at O.C. Tanner, just for fun! When he said the price, I got nauseous! haha, I'd be way too scared to wear something that expensive. 
We tried to see Angela's artwork, but the gallery was closed. We peeked in and saw one of her pieces that was inspired by the pictures we took on our trip to Copenhagen! :) Amazing art!!
Alright, so...I love looking at wedding rings and rings in general. We went into a little jewelers on Main Street in Park City. My dad mentioned to the lady that it was my birthday and she said they had a section of amethysts; my birthstone! She let me try one on and I loved it. It's a tricut which has religious significance because of the trinity and it's also said to provide protection. My dad asked the price, and asked "Well do you want it?" I couldn't believe it! Of course I did, but did I really want him to buy me something so nice after everything else he's done? He insisted and after a quick sizing...it was mine! 
The lady was really nice. She was from Sweden and we chatted about our trip to Copenhagen a few months ago. 



My dad bought me a book at Dolley's Bookstore. 
Dinner at Grappa was amazing! We got thee best table and the yummiest food. I got chicken with mashed potatoes, and some greens. My dad got crusted salmon and a zuccini side (the menu described it much better, my description didn't do the flavors justice!) We also got a pita pizza thing for an appetizer. It had lots of fresh veggies and it was the best flatbread I've ever had!! And the bread...oh the bread! :)

My friends are pretty much the greatest!
Truffle dessert! The semisweet chocolate one was the best. That one's not pictured because we ate it on a bench in PC while we waited for the ring to be sized one half size smaller

The book Popular. It was funny and cute and entertaining. I'd been intrigued because it was written by a fifteen-year-old. A great summer read! 
 The morning was spent being Ana teaching a bunch of cute kids about ballet and crafts
 Parkstone salads

 BEST DAD IN THE WORLD!.... and the best flatbread in the world ;)

 The necklace I bought at Charming Charlie's with the giftcard Anna and Sarah got me.

 Absolutely Delish

This song came on on the way to the Ranch. My dad is the Magic Man and the day was as magical as one spent in Paris. Which is saying a lot.


Thanks Mom and Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Help by Kathryn Stockett The Help is a great book for young adults and mature teenagers. It is education, funny and insightful. It is 444 pages, but a definite page turner. I rated it 5-stars because it is such a great book. It is basically about how unfairly African-Americans were treated in the 1950s and 60s. It changes perspective about every chapter, but it's fairly easy to follow along. It is from the point of view of 3 women from Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960's. Aibileen, Minny and Miss Skeeter are the narrators. I thought it was unique that it had more than one narrator and it allowed you to understand the story much better. Aibileen (my favorite character) is a black women who is "the Help" to Miss Leefolt. She is kind, wise and smart. Throughout the story she develops a strong bond between Miss Leefolt's little girl, Mae Mobley. Miss Leefolt is very strict and rather  oblivious to Mae Mobley. She doesn't really know how to raise her, so Aibil...

On the seventh day of Christmas

December gave to me....early out from school! Davis made their goal of getting $6,500 in 5 minutes during our "Dash for Cash" and earned a 'Christmas Officer Talent Show Assembly'. Otherwise known as 'Go Home After Four Shortened Class Periods.' So we got out at about 11:45 and Emily, Amy, Ruby, Emily M and I went to Fiiz and Bowman's to get stuff for friend gifts. I got some Lindt truffles. We went to Emily's for lunch, then Emily and I went to Farmington Station for a successful holiday shopping trip. Then we went and got her little sisters; Christina and Ellie, and I got Ptolemy and we went to Alexander's Bad Day at Kaysville Theatre. My mom ended up going too and taking Xanthe and Tizzy, who we hadn't had room for in Emily's car. It was such a cute movie! Then I took Ari and her best friend Ellison to Yogotogo. They're such cute girls. It's funny to hear their Junior High stories/experiences/slang. Oh those good ole' awkw...
