Birthdays

ok so I didn't get a chance to take pics on my birthday so if you're really interested enough to see some you can go on some of my friends blogs...

you can find pics of the Reformation 500 on there too. That was Vision Forum Conference in honor of John Calvin's birthday which we went to.

I was also in my friend's Quiceanera a few weeks ago. Here are a few pics from that, and the link to the whole album. The pictures are not at all in order- Blogger uploaded them wrong for some reason :P Oh and for those of you who don't know what a Quinceanera is, it's a party/ceremony in the hispanic culture that takes place when a girl turns 15. This is when she becomes a woman. So yeah, here are the pics...
