My 20th Birthday!
Wow, it's been a while since I've posted an entry on here!
I turned 20 on April 23rd and I've been meaning to write all about my birthday celebrations before I forget the details! So here it goes:
Friday, April 18th: Katie had me dress up and picked me up at 6. She took me to a little Italian restaurant in Fremont, where I was surprised by Christine, Brittany, and Jessica! Now that I think about it I wish we would've gotten more pictures because everyone looked so beautiful!
Saturday, April 19th: Sarah took me to Strings in Livermore for dinner. There was a live band and we had great food and conversation!
Wednesday, April 23rd: My birthday!! I went to school. At 1:30 my dear friend Cathy picked me up and we went out for smoothies with tapioca (which I LOVE!). She made me a little chocolate cake and got me some things for my "new" room! I had dinner with my family. Around 7 Cary came over and we baked a chocolate cake. Best friends and good times and great conversation...there is no better way to spend a day to me. And all through the day I was getting "Happy Birthday" calls, texts, and facebook and myspace comments which made me feel very special :) Best birthday so far!
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, April 25th to the 27th: I went to LA with April and Tara and we visited Jessica and Ariel. We went to Laguna beach and Bucca de Beppo (sp?) and Yogurt-land and Ben & Jerry's and Chipotle and Starbucks (a lot!) and stayed at Masters and then Biola. On our way home we were mooned, which was a first for me haha. It was a good weekend of fellowship and fun.
Tuesday, April 29th: Sara took me out to get pie, which is "our thing" :) She also bought me a few cute things that she said remind her of me. I don't think she knows how much I love spending time with her.
Wednesday, April 20th: Cary took me out for lunch! I don't remember how to spell the name of the place but it was a nice little place in Pleasanton. Even if we didn't make a cake and go out for my birthday, it still would've been so special just hanging out with her!
All to say...my birthday was the best I've had because this year I was able to spend the most quality time with my friends. That's why I don't prefer having a party, because I value quality time above all and that is what the Lord blessed me with. He divinely appointed everything and I'm most thankful to Him for such a great couple of weeks! He's gonna have a lot to live up to next year ;)
