My BIG 40!

So on my actual birthday I was blessed enough to spend it with all the Young Women in my ward at the Temple. Can't think of a better place to be on your birthday! When we were finished and walking to our car, I noticed something on my hood. This next picture is what my great friend Emily had made for me! She LOVES glitter! So darling the big numbers! She also gave me lots of suckers and gift cards totaling $40 to circle k, my favorite place to get pepsi! How thoughtful of her! I Love her lots!

For my big birthday I thought about what I would want. Rob asked me and I LOVE San Francisco and so I decided on a trip with my closest girlfriends. The plan was put in to action. I couldn't have had a better birthday! It was so much fun. I haven't had that much fun with my girlfriends in a long time. I was blessed with those that were able to come and missed those that couldn't make it. I have been wanting to write about it for some time. I decided to just post whatever pictures and write one time about them. I feel overwhelmed with trying to catch up so I decided to make it easy on myself! So here is what we did on our trip! Thursday morning we left to San Francisco! Kirstin doesn't like flying at all and so she pretended that she was on a bus the whole time to deal with her anxiety. That was quite amusing to me. I videoed a ton and videoed some of her on the plane and she is saying "Its only a bus". Hilarious. So I had been talking to Kirstin's best friend from high school peggy barnes. She was like a sister to me and honestly a best friend to me as well. I was so excited that she decided to come with us! She REALLY wanted to surprise kirstin and so I was trying to figure out how to do that. Kirstin I think had her suspicions. So when we landed I pretended that rob had called me and left a message. I was like Oh my gosh!! Rob got us a limo to ride to the hotel in!! So I said someone would be holding a sign for us so we needed to look for it. Peggy was texting the whole time where she was etc. I was surprised how there was literally no one in the airport. Anyways, peggy got some people to help her and so as we got closer a man asked if we were the udall party. Peggy was hiding behind the sign. We said yes and she popped out. Kirstin didn't recognize her at first which was awesome. I got this all on video! In fact I made a cooler video of my trip to music but can't get it posted on you tube because of one of the songs I picked. Anyways it was a great surprise and my sister was excited as well as me! We took the bart to downtown San Fran and walked to our hotel. We stayed at the JW Marriott. Had a beautiful room. The first night I had a surprise for everyone which was an hour massage at the spa. That was quite interesting and a story in of itself. We did all the touristy things like Alcatraz, walked pier 39, got pedicures, ate good food. One day we rented a car and went on an adventure, we shopped which was SO much fun! I hadn't been shopping like that since high school. Kir, Peggy and I stayed in Old Navy for 3 hours! Yes you heard right! The store is huge there! We went to see the new "Footloose" movie which was just released. We didn't like it as well as the first one but brought back tons of memories! I think I had the most fun just hanging out in the hotel room talking. It was great! It was funny to remember things about peg which I had forgotten like she IRONS EVERYTHING! I miss her tons! All and all it really couldn't have been any better. I got to spend it with my sister, daughter and two best friends. I am not that happy how old I am, but really enjoyed this birthday a lot! If I can somehow figure out how to post my video I made I will do so. It is pretty fun to watch!
