My 24th Birthday!

Today I celebrated my 24th Birthday. Unfortunately, it was probably hopefully the worst birthday ever. First, one of my coworkers had a major seizure and when it ended, she wasn't breathing and didn't have a pulse. I called 911 while another coworker, who is also an RN, preformed CPR. Luckily my coworker started breathing again before the paramedics arrived, but we were all really surprised since she never had a seizure before. Then I had a patient to see in Tetonia (about an hour away). When I finished, it was dark and snowing pretty hard. As I was driving back on the unpaved, unplowed road, I couldn't see where the edge of the road ended as the snow had drifted and levelled the road with the ditches on both sides. I drove off the road and tumbled into the side ditch. My car was completely stuck. A nice woman tried to help shovel me out, but the car was in too deep so she called a tow truck. I was covered in snow and freezing. The tow truck pulled me out and then I very carefully headed back and went straight to my party.

Dan did an AMAZING job and everything looked so cute and perfect!
We celebrated with our friends and my sister. Unfortunately, I was just so exhausted from everything that day that I kept having to excuse myself for a few minutes to go lay down in bed :(
I got so many cute and fun treats! Some of these treats were a new purse from Fossil, a watch and bracelets, movies, a jacket from Anthro, and some new clothes! Thank you everyone!
Then I had my favorite carrot cake. I've had it almost every year since my very first birthday. It's so moist and delicious!
A HUGE thank you to Dan for everything he did for my party!!!  I wish I could have enjoyed my party more. It made me sad that he had worked so hard to make it perfect but I was just feeling so tired and sick. At least the year can only get better, right? I hope so!! XO
