23rd Birthday

I'm not going to lie, I have been telling people I was 23

 for the past 4 months. I like to warm up to the idea. 

Now that I am officially 23, it seems more real and 

slightly scary. I am getter farther away from my teen

years and deeper into my adult years.

I had a really hard time feeling like it was my

birthday this year. There were tons of birthday

wishes and lovely gifts, but it just felt like another

day. I had work in the morning, and I had a 3 hour

class at night. I guess as you get older that is just

how it is. I do miss the excitement and birthday feel 

like when you are younger. However, this does not 

mean that I didn't have a good day. I was happy, and

 truly felt loved and blessed by the people in my life. 

Like I mentioned earlier, I had to work in the morning.
The people that I work for/with are so nice! Everyone
singed a birthday card for me, and they gave me $10 to
iTunes. After work I treated myself to Einstein Bagels.
It was so delicious. After lunch I decided I needed to
get ready, so I went upstairs to my room. On my door
was ribbon and a note from my parents.

Inside was a room full of balloons!

It made me so happy!

After class I met up with a couple of my friends
and Five Guys. We enjoyed burgers and fries outside.
After, we went to my house to have ice cream cake that
Kayla so kindly got me. It was so delicious too-- Oreo
blizzard! Yumm-O

When everyone left I skyped my parents to

open my gifts. I just love technology!

On Saturday I met up with a couple of my girlfriends 

to have a birthday celebration for a couple of us. We

ate at Malawi's Pizza, and it was so good! If you ever

have a chance to go there, do. You wont regret it.

I had another mini birthday celebration on Sunday.

My aunt made a cake for me and two of my cousins,

who also have may birthdays. I requested another Oreo

cake. I don't know what my fascination is with Oreo cakes,

but they are yummy!

This picture cracks me up. Taylor was being silly.

And there you have my birthday week! It was nice

as always, and I definitely gained a lot of weight. 

It was worth it though. Thanks again for all the

birthday wishes. It always make a birthday better.
