I always feel like a five year old when it comes to my birthday. My mom was like "Ok Karli, now your birthday is over" because I just want to keep using it as an excuse to celebrate. Last week when I was emailing Taylor (a whole week before my birthday) I was like "Taylor, are you forgetting something?" he was so confused and then I was like "tay it's my birthday" he was like "KARLI I didn't forget, in fact I sent you a package in the mail." I felt so silly, I then apologized for being five years old and jumping the gun. I am probably the most impatient person when it comes to anything in life. I think that my biggest pet peeve is when someone is like "I have something to tell you but I will wait until I see you in person." Seriously that bugs the crap out of me. I HATE surprises but love them at the same time. Like at christmas I wanted to open all of my presents then wrap them up again. Especially the one from Taylor. That was torture to see it sitting there. 

Anyway... my birthday was such a fun one this year! We went to the Foundry Grill at Sundance which is my favorite restaurant. It is our tradition to go to the Grill every year for my birthday! I feel so lucky. I love that place so much. I have so many good memories there! Then on sunday, I walked around Main Street with my little sister star gazing. Since it is Sundance Film Festival, there are so many people overcrowding PC. Let me just say it is hard because I couldn't even find parking at the gym. I have a love hate relationship with the film festival. Mostly love because my birthday always falls right in the prime of it!

Whelp, now I am 21, and I have a feeling that lots of good things will happen this year ;)

Sundance Film Fest + happy early birthday to me.

Diane Kruger is 4th from the right, and to the left of her is Seneca from the first Hunger Games!
 The Director is on the far right. 

In line to see Better Angels. 

I ordered a steak for the first time ever.^

We rode the city bus home. You would not believe the traffic in Park City. Also, our ride feel asleep so...

I am convinced that my birthday week falls on the best week of the year. Sundance Film Festival. It has been my families tradition to do dinner at Sundance Foundry Grill for the past 5 years or so. This year we decided to make reservations on Main Street so we could be more involved in all of the action of the film festival. We had dinner at Mustang. I ordered a steak and fries you guys!!! I am pretty sure that last night was the first time ever that I ordered a steak. And let me tell you... It was delicious. Perfect splurge for my early birthday celebration.
We went to the world premiere of the movie Better Angels. It was a movie about Abe Lincoln's childhood. It was honestly beautiful. The cinematography was unreal. After the show they had a Q&A session and brought up the actors. Diane Kruger was there. She is like a modern day Audrey Hepburn. She was a Ballerina for the Royal Ballet in London. She has the prettiest German accent and she was just so elegant. It was so cool to hear her side of the film and the process. Robert Redford was sitting on the same row as my sister, mom and I. So that was awesome.
I love the film festival. It is so cool to see people follow their dreams and make these documentaries. Can't wait to come back to Park City next weekend to see a couple more films! I hope everyone has a great long weekend!! Nothing better than a sunday night knowing you don't have school in the morning.
