Quiet Birthday
This year's birthday ended up being pretty quiet. It was going to be awesome! My sisters were coming into town for our annual sisters ski weekend.... but then I got sick with a nasty case of the flu. I had a fever! So then the ski weekend was canceled. I was feeling better by the day we would have gone skiing, but I was still really weak and dizzy/lightheaded. Teri came down to take me to Kneaders for dinner (which was lovely since I hadn't been eating much for several days and what I had been eating was getting very old), and she brought some lemon cupcakes too! Then on the Monday holiday (Martin Luther King Jr Day), I felt well enough to go for a little walk/hike in the snow on the Whiting trail. That's where Mike and I took this pic.

Houston with the Cooks
Right after Christmas, Mom and I flew down to Houston to be there for Whitney's wedding! And then to spend New Year's with Joni, Adam, Ethan, Adam, and Whitney Kay.
Whitney's wedding was beautiful and wonderful. I'll let the pictures do the talking - down below. They had the reception at this really cool, old plantation and the owner kind of hung out with us as we brought in the drinks and favors the day before. He was such a cool old man! He had some really neat old family photos on the walls of the plantation, and so he and I got to talking about those. Then the day of the wedding came and we weren't too rushed, really, since Joni had other people there to set up and take down the reception. We went to their sealing at the Houston LDS temple, had a quick lunch at Joni and Adam's house, and then we rushed off to the plantation for pictures, the receiving line (that thankfully I didn't have to stand in), a catered dinner, dancing, cake cutting, and sparklers and fireworks for the get away of the newlyweds.
New Years was spent at home watching the New York Time's Square special, drinking nonalcoholic champaign, eating chips and salsa, and popping crackers. Then everyone went to bed before midnight, but I stayed up watching Netflix so I could text Mike at midnight to wish him a happy New Year.
