Church Functions... Always on my birthday

Not that I don't like church, or anything (I'm at BYU, voluntarily...obviously I like church) but it always rains on my parade to find out that a church function is being held on my birthday. Last year my birthday was on Sunday... woot. I went to Music and the Spoken Word for my "party" for crying out loud. (just kidding, I really didn't have a party of any sorts). The year before it was on a Saturday, and they had the General Young Womens Conference that night on my birthday, so nothing exciting happened.
This year, my birthday is on Tuesday, this Tuesday actually, and they are having enrichment night on my birthday. Not just any enrichment that people would sluff and come to a wicked awesome birthday party instead.... Sheri Dew is the speaker! Who is going to pick coming to a party when you can listen to the closest-to-a-female-prophet that ever lived??
Alas, such is the life.

oh man, i know how you feel. ever since i turned 13, i haven't been at home for my birthday. i was either at girls camp, the trek, or some stake dance festival thing. AND the worst part is, is that when my birthday is on a sunday, and i can actually be home- it's always Fathers Day. yeah. i don't like it one bit. haha

Wow! That's crazy. The only thing that's ever been on my birthday is Sunday. My birthday is also in November, so not much of anything goes on. Anyways, Happy early Birthday!

I have had that experience sometimes... but not as much as you! My birthday is on Sunday this year, and I'm flying home this weekend to be with the fam and go to Santa Cruz one day and San Francisco another day. Then on Sunday I'll go to church, have my family dinner/party, and fly back to Provo! So I guess there's not really anything for me to be upset about!
