A lot has changed since my 20th birthday (apprx. 5 days ago). I feel different. I am officially no longer any sort of teen! Yay! Life is more sophisticated and mature as a 20 year old...haha. Yeah right. But really, I like being able to say I am 20.
I had a good birthday. Garrett and I went out to lunch, went shopping, and best of all saw Horton Hears a Who in the theatre. It was such a cute and funny movie! I couldn't believe it but we didn't take one picture that day, so sorry to say I don't have any! :(
Garrett and I just started going to a new church here in Portland. I had been sharing at work about how Garrett and I don't really have a home church here yet and we are having a really hard time finding some place to serve. One of my co-workers at Multnomah goes to Montavilla Baptist Church and invited Garrett and me to come and if we wanted help out in his jr.high ministry. We started going to Montavilla March 2 and then started serving in the jr.high that next Wednesday, the 5th! It was amazing how God worked it all out. We are loving it! Garrett is leading the worship in the jr.high...playing guitar and singing!
Life is going good so far as a 20 year old, and I thank God for it. :)

I got this new little addition this last Saturday. It was sort of an early birthday gift for myself! haha. I knew of certain birthday money that I had coming for my birthday and so bought this in advance! (Thank you momma!) I had to buy this beautiful external flash before my birthday (March 16th) because I actually have a photography job the day before my birthday where I will desperately need this baby. I got an opportunity through my work to shoot the Student Aid Banquet for Multnomah donors. The lighting situation will be dark and I knew that with more and more of these opportunites coming up I will really need an external flash, so I got it! I am really excited and it works great! This will be such a help to me in my future photography endeavors!
Happy (late) Valentine's Day! I had a wonderful day yesterday going out to eat to Red Robin with my hubby and exchanging gifts. I got him the "Dan in Real Life" soundtrack, which he has really been wanting, some V-day boxers, and his all time favorite candy "Zours." He got me the cutest poka dot umbrella and some scrapbooking stickers (450 to be exact.)He also bought 10 packs of my favorite cookie/candy. It is a reeces cookie. And he put them out on tin foil and told me he baked them for me! haha. :) The day didn't go exactly as planned,however, but we still had a good time. We were going to see "The Great Debators" at a theatre called The Academy. We have been there before and tickets are only $3. Well, we get to the window at 6:30 PM and the guy asks for our ID's. I didn't bring mine and he said that we couldn't get in...I was confused because the movie is only PG-13. He said that there is alcohol on the premesis and so we couldn't go in without ID...I had just watch two 6 year olds go in with their mom to see "Enchanted"... does that make sense to you?? Me either. Oh well. We just went to the mall and shopped around and then went home to study for a big exam. It was, however, a very happy Valentines Day! :)
