My Birthday!

Today is my birthday! It is also my sister's birthday, too.  Today the one of the best days I have had in a long time.  It was full of surprises and I just felt really loved.
When I woke up I found my door to be decorated! It had shiny garland and a "happy birthday" banner.  It looked so cool!  Last night I had heard something rustling and I thought it was something in my roommate's closet.  So I had her get up and check it out.  It wasn't anything, but I could still hear that noise.  Well, it turns out it was my friends decorating my door.  They figured I would be asleep already, but I had decided to stay up a little later to get a paper done.
Today I had to get up early to go to the Rotary meeting.  It started at 7 am!  Then I had to work at 7:45 until 9:30. At ten I had to meet my bio lab group to work on our presentation.  After that I ate lunch and went to the health fair.  Since it was my birthday I got a $15 gift card to Walmart! Thanks, Noah Health Clinic!  I got a lot of free stuff at the fair.
After the fair, I got an email saying I had a delivery at the info desk.  I was walking to go get it and I hear my name being called.  Emily and Sam were running across the field.  Sam ran inside Clinton and Emily walked with me to go get my package.  I had a weird feeling about this because Sam just disappeared.  My package was a bouquet of flowers from my parents! They are so pretty!  After picking that up, Emily and I went back to my room and no one was in there except for my roommate.  A couple seconds later I hear my name being called down the hall.  Sam and Kellie walk into my room with a sack of presents and donuts!  The donuts were delicious and the presents were awesome!  Emily got me Walk the Line, hair bands, and slipper socks.  Sam got me a Wartburg t-shirt and earrings.  Kellie got me popcorn, Fool's Gold, and a snuggie!  The gifts are all wonderful! I have such awesome friends!  Also, I think they are taking me out Friday night, but I don't know where!
Tonight I also Skyped with my parents and sister! It was so good to talk to them!  Today I realized that this is the first birthday I have spent apart from my sister.  I guess I have never really thought about it much before.  It is a little weird to be apart.  I know this is going to sound bad, but my roommate reminded me about texting my sister happy birthday.  I think I just knew it was her birthday and we always see each other and tell each other, but it was a little different this time.  I guess from now on this is how it will be.  Thats a little sad to think about.

  1. You had a wonderful birthday celebrated with friends. As you get older you learn to celebrate with your family when you can see them. (Remind me of that on Christmas when I have to be with my hubby's family instead of my own.)
