Birthday Post!

I apologize in advance if this post is long/wordy, I am really doing this for myself so that I can remember everything! 

At midnight, as in 12:00 am on my birthday, I was downstairs studying for my exams and everyone else that was down there sang me happy birthday. Living with 50 girls has its fun advantages, that was one of them! 

Then, I walked up to my room and sweet Shannon had bought me flowers and wrote me a little birthday note! 

 

When I woke up the next morning, I got right to studying (blegh) but then Travis picked me up to take me to lunch and then we decided it would be fun to go to Spec's and look around. When we got there he handed me his debit card and said, "pick out whatever you want and I'll get it for you." Of course, I am the most naive person when it comes to alcohol so I just called my Mom and asked, "hey, what's that stuff I like?" The point of me having the debit card was so I could do the obligatory handing over my ID to the cashier thing. 

Me and my first purchase: Beringer White Zinfandel 

 

When Travis drove up to the Pi Phi house, I got a call from Crush cupcakes asking me when would be a good time to drop off a delivery my parents had sent. I was so surprised but, I thought they were sending me one cupcake. Boy was I wrong, when I got to the door, there were THREE DOZEN cupcakes. They wanted everyone to share in the fun!!! 

Vanilla, Red Velvet & Chocolate cupcakes! 

 

It made me so happy that everyone got to have a treat. It also helps that everyone who lives here is gracious and wanted me to thank my parents, how sweet!

Oh my gosh this is too long but I want to document it somewhere! OK-so then I got to talk to my grandma, open my birthday card from my family and not concentrate. At 4 I had a little happy hour at Chuy's where I gulped down a deelish strawberry margarita (on the house) and had fun chatting with everyone for a little while. 

 

After happy hour, Travis took me to dinner at a new Mexican place called Lupe Tortilla where we got to eat yummy fajitas. I was starting to feel sleepy already from my margarita so all I really said while we ate was "oh my gosshhhh, this is so yummy" 

 

Travis and I went back to the house to study for our final we had together today, I was so tired that I was deep asleep by 11:30 last night. 

If you made it this far, you rock. This was one of the best birthdays I have had in awhile. I felt so loved and I got to spend time with great people, eat good food and have a tasty drink. My hope for this next year of my life is to be thankful, be more appreciative of what I have. I know that a lot of change is going to happen but I hope I can always look at the bright side. (ok, I know that was cheesy) 

I get to see my parents tomorrow, go on a 'fancy' birthday date tomorrow night and I'm done with finals  Monday, YIPPEE!!!!!
