Katelyn's (Belated) 19th Birthday and Her Phi Eta Sigma Banquet!

I got to take a quick trip up to Utah and the main reasons why I came were to celebrate Katelyn's 19th Birthday and also to attend her Phi Eta Sigma Banquet.  Her birthday was last Friday but in order to attend the banquet, I had to come late for her birthday... this afternoon I picked Katelyn up at the dorms and we headed for Brooke’s apt around 2:30.  Katelyn opened one of her gifts when we got there-- a silver infinity necklace I got her to wear on her mission-- we always say to each other "I love you mostest times infinity!"  I got one for me to wear during her mission, as well.  I then made the cake but there wasn’t time to ice it before the banquet because it had to cool first. I did get a good nap in though before we left to go to the banquet. Brooke and Katelyn studied while I napped. The Phi Eta Sigma banquet was nice but it seemed longer than when we went to it for Brooke. It was nice though and the dinner was great. The people at our table were really nice. We met a guy that Todd knew from High School who played volleyball with him! Such a small world… After we walked back to Brooke’s apt. and I quickly made the chocolate fudge icing and got the cake all ready. Addison came over and we celebrated Katelyn’s birthday with cake and ice cream. She opened the rest of her gifts before we did the cake. I got her a South Carolina flag and McKenzie got her a cute t-shirt with the outline of South Carolina with the word “love” scrolled into the border. It is super cute and Katelyn loved it!! The cake was great, but I forgot to add the vanilla at the end due to my rush. It just wasn’t as good… After we stayed up and watched the new “Cheaper by the Dozen” at Brooke’s house. Brooke needed the car the next day to go to her shift early at the temple, so she drove us home—Katelyn back to her dorm to get her stuff and then both of us back to the hotel for a sleepover. Katelyn and I stayed up late (2:30am!) watching “Is it Cake?” It was fun though… I’m glad I sacrificed sleep to spend time with Katelyn. We both dozed in and out while we were watching it—funny!  It was a fun day celebrating Katelyn!  I love her desire to excel in everything she does!!!
