So I just want to start off by saying that I have the BEST roommates and friends and of course cousin. My birthday was fantastic thanks to all of them and I hope they all know how much I love them. I wasn't too keen on celebrating my birthday away from home because I've always been with my family and I've come to miss them so dearly. I was worried my birthday would just be sad because I miss them. My wonderful friends stepped up to the plate though and they made it super fantastic. My birthday is actually today, but we've kind of been celebrating it all weekend. On Friday we went down to Idaho Falls and went to the mall. I got to buy some stuff with the money my mom sent me. Then we went to Reeeeeed Robin...YUM! and I had the most delicious hamburger I've ever eaten (that's saying something because I'm really not a hamburger fan) The waiters sang to me (I've never had that happen before) it was awkward but fun and I got everything I ate for free except the drink which Raeanne so graciously paid for, for me. It was a great night. We got home and they were going to give me my present until Davi was like “let’s just wait till next week and Bree can give you our present and you can give her hers at the same time” (Elle’s birthday is May 19th just 11 days after mine, and yes I am super happy to be a whole 11 days older than her) well that idea did not fly with me. I didn’t want to wait, I’m super impatient. So instead I just gave Elle her present 12 days early and she gave me mine. I am now the proud owner of the legit-est pair of Batman converse on this earth.
They are honestly so slick. The funny part is I got Elle a pair of shoes too. I got her a pair of sparkly black Toms. She said she liked them the last time we saw them and so that’s what I got her…I hope she really does like them. It was pretty funny though. I brought out an empty box and she opened it and was super confused and then I was like “For your birthday I got a pair of shoes for a poor little shoeless African child!” she was totally chill with it too. I don’t know if she really believed me though. (For those of you who don’t know about TOMS they donate a pair of shoes to someone in need every time you buy a pair) Then I brought out her shoes and gave them to her and she was happy. So that was fun. The next day, Saturday, Anson, Jessi, and I all went to Jackson Hole Wyoming. I’d never been before and my mom always talks about how much she loves it. So we went and walked around downtown Jackson Hole and saw cool stuff and shopped for souvenirs. Anson then proceeded to fork out quite a bit of money so that we could all take those old fashioned photos where they dress you up and put you in a setting and take your picture. It was super nice of him. We got ice cream and walked around for a bit more and went home. It was super fun. They have the COOLEST candy store there too. Wall to wall candy. Here are some pictures of our fun day!
(yes I realize I am immodest. That was the least revealing dress I could find...and I'm not drinking that Jack Daniels...just holding it.)
So yes. It was super exciting. It was a fantastic day and I'm grateful for all of my good friends. It was definitely a birthday to remember. Also I guess I should say Happy Mother's day to all of the mothers. My mom reads this I think...Happy Mother's day mom! I love you and I miss you super alot!.
