Holywar

I don't really feel the need to say much about the BYU vs. U of U football game on Saturday. I only saw the first half of it and it was highly entertaining.

Dinner at Mikado

I had the birthday roll at dinner. It was alright, but definitely my least favorite of all the sushi I've ever tried. We're pretty sure that we scared the other group out of the private room because we were being too loud. Our server was fantastic. He was super friendly and he did a great job handling our group all by himself. He even handed out trainers for the chopsticks for the people that didn't know how to use them.

I had an absolute blast that night, it was a great birthday. Thanks to everyone that shared it with me!

Calling all makeup lovers

I've been a long time fan of Nature's Source Mineral Cosmetics. I originally purchased a pigment stack from one of their mall kiosks a few years ago. Slowly I've been adding their products to my makeup collection ever since. I'll never need to buy eyeshadow again, I've got five different stacks of mineral pigment, colors for every look. I wear this product on a daily basis. I also love their mineral foundation which is available in a great combo kit or as a stand alone item.

Right now through November 26th, they're having a huge online promotion for their myspace friends. I can't tell you exactly what the promotion is, but I can assure you, I'm not missing this one and neither should you. If you like their products or want to try them out for the first time this is a great opportunity to stock up.

If you're not already one of their friends on myspace, make sure you add them as a friend so that you can read the bulletin that tells you exactly what the promotion is and what the code is to get it.

Birthday!

I used to say that I was "Two, two times." I can not say this anymore because now I am 23!

Birthday celebrations sort of started last Friday when Mike and Traci took me out to play.

Tuesday night, Sean took me out for Sushi as he had class to attend on my actual birthday. Sean has finally got me eating sushi. I've never been a fan of any sort of seafood in the past, but with Sean I have tried a couple things now and I've got to say, it was quite delicious!

On my birthday, I went out to lunch with Marrdy, Brett and Robin. I'm kind of lame and didn't take any photos with them.

Later that evening, most of the dad-fam was together for dinner, cake and presents.
