November was a GREAT month! Mostly because it was my birthday and I did a lot of fun things. But once November ended I had to buckle down and finish school projects and study for finals which is why this post is a potpourri of happenings. First, I went to see Breaking Dawn, twice. Once at midnight with Beck and then again the next day with Alyssa. L-O-V-E-D it! Both times!
These are the snacks I packed for the midnight viewing.
My actual birthday was pretty low-key. Three of my close friends took me to Hard Rock for dinner and then we went to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park for a night of fun!
I could not get these two to take a 'normal' picture, so the first one is an outtake.
Okay, close enough.
So, the whole Hard Rock Cafe restaurant sang Happy Birthday to me. I had to sit on the back of the booth and our waitress announced it was my bday and singing commenced. I'm blowing the candle out of my sundae.
Great friends!
No birthday is complete without CAKE! After a great night I went back to my room and ate my birthday cupcake that Beck bought me.
I'm PUBLISHED!!! I entered a writing contest in October and one of the poems I submitted was chosen to be published in a book for my University!
Beck and I went to South Bank Christmas Market this past weekend. Walking across the bridge and seeing central London made me so grateful to be living here. I am so blessed!
I went to my ward Christmas party and talked to Santa, mostly so I could get a candy cane.
Alyssa and I saw the musical American Idiot. I love the album that it is based on. The story was very loose and it was a lot of rage and anger to pack into two hours, but I really loved hearing the music. It wasn't my favorite, but I liked it enough.
