Birthday Satisfaction!
So today was my first real test as a party planner and ya know what, I feel pretty darn good about it. Yea, so the caterers didn't have our food at the time we specified but that was definitely out of my hands. I am fairly gasld I didn't have to speak in front of everyone, so that was nice. Everything was what I had invisioned....centerpieces, programs, lights, ambiance, napkins, colors, music, people, dress, and over all I am just really pleased. SO this really gave me some awesome experience. Everything is a learning experience. You gotta make mistakes before you can learn. I am happy with the outcome and I think everyone had a great time. I want to work for a catering company sometime. I think it would be fun.
So I never said anything about my birthday this past weekend. So maybe I should start with last friday. I got up, ran some errands, hung out with Cortney, visited with Christine and Prachi, then went to Jeff Ebner's house and saw a lot of people there who I hadn't seen since graduation. It was neat. I couldn't stay long because I had to go to Oakland to pick up Jon from the airport. I was so glad that he came back. Then we went straight from the airport to Missy's play in Saratoga. She was really good. Kinda a serious play but she was really good and i know she really enjoys it. Then Jon and I went back to Missy and Brad and Dustin and Jeremy's apartment and it was really nice, smaller than their previous place but nice. So we stayed there and played 90's trivia and I kicked Jon's butt. Then we drove home.
Saturday was my 20th birthday and we got up and mom made us coffee cake. We got ready and went and saw Alexander (2 hours and 56 mins) but pretty good and a nice use of the day. Plus my family came too so that was special :) Then we went out to dinner to Macaroni Grill and came home, ate cheesecake that my momma made and then I called lots of peeps because everyone was home for break and Michelle, Marlon, Andrew, McVey, Kelly, Christine, Lauren, Christina, Alison, Amy and Matt came over. It was so good seeing everyone again. Good times. And I am glad Jon got to meet all of them too. Then they left, and we went to bed and Sunday we got up and left. All my roomies remembered it was my birthday and that made me very happy! :) And people who I wouldn't have expected remembered too! When I came home on Tuesday I came into my room and DEVON got me a dozen red roses and a really nice card. That made my week for sure. I think we are having a joint party tomorrow. It was Tom's b'day last friday too so we wanna have a joint party but i don't know where yet. Apparently the boys bought me a present but I am kinda nervous to get it. I am sure it is gonna be hilarious as usual. Well I am off to bed...gotta catch up on my sleep.
Thanks to all who made my birthday VERY special! :) And thanks for remembering ME! :)
