I was reminded today that I never posted anything about my actual birthday. After a few parties at home with family and neighbors I came back to Provo and started school on my birthday. It was a great day! After classes and work I went out to dinner with some of my best friends. These girls all went to Jerusalem with me and I love them all so much. We went to Zupas and had a wonderful time talking. Monica even drove down from Salt Lake. Thanks girls! (Raven, Katie, Me, Monica, Elise)Later that night we had a birthday party! Kristen and Emily decorated the apartment and made a birthday cake and we had the Boise State v. TCU game on TV. Despite what everyone seemed to think, I do have a lot of friends and so many of them came to the party! I started to look around the room to figure out how I knew so many people. I had friends from my new ward, my past ward, Jeusalem, American Falls, family and roommates. It adds up pretty quick and I found out that there is a limit to the amount of people that can fit in one apartment. We filled it to the max and had a great time. Austin Hayden, Me, Tyler Batt

This is my dear friend Allie. I serve with her in the RS presidency and just love her! She was so kind to make me a cake too :)

These are some more of my fravorite Jerusalem friends. I am telling you I have some really good friends! (Mandy, Jane, Me, Lisa, Brigette, Rachelle

Ryan, David, Brent, me, Brad, and Ben...And these are "my boys" These guys were all of my best friends when I lived in the dorms freshman year. It is so fun to have them back from their missions. They even sang me a song for my birthday which I have included below for your enjoyment! The clip is pretty long so if you skip to the second half you can hear the part that they wrote just for me :)
