Okay so as many of you know, my birthday was on Valentine’s
day! I turned the big 21! Now I know what you are thinking and no....I did not get
drunk and go crazy with my girlfriends. It was a Thursday and I had class the
next day. AND I am much more responsible than that ;) But if you must know, yes
I did have a drink (or two) at dinner…Moving on…
This birthday was one of the best. Not because I can
drink….but because I got to spend it with some of my best girlfriends. I have
to give some props to my girls with boyfriends who came to dinner with me and
postponed their Valentine plans. Like I said, they are the best. We went to
Dave’s Taverna downtown (for those of you who know nothing about Harrisonburg,
it’s the classic downtown restaurant) and had so much fun. The only people in
the restaurant were a million couples and us…. Needless to say, we had lots of fun ‘couple
watching’ during dinner :)

So I’m sure you are all wondering what Mr. Wonderful did for
my birthday. I kept telling myself he was going to fly up and surprise me
because he has President’s Day off…..and no, that didn’t happen. Bummer. BUT
let me tell you what he did do! I got a big package with the logo of a big
strawberry on the front. Oh yes, he sent me a dozen HUGE chocolate covered
strawberries! He sure knows the way to my heart! As if that wasn’t enough;
later in the afternoon I got a delivery of a beautiful arrangement of
roses and daises! *Daisies are my favorite…they aren’t just randomly there* Can
you say boyfriend of the year!? He sure makes a girl feel special from 13 hours
away :)
I ate one before I took this picture....oops!
Overall, my birthday was a huge success. I got lots of
loving cards in the mail from friends and family to top it all off. And I have
to mention my awesome brother. He called me at midnight so that he was the
first person to wish me happy birthday. Isn’t he the sweetest!? I can only hope
that when I have kids, they will be as close as we are! I’m going home this
weekend to celebrate my birthday with my fantastic family. I can't wait to be
loved on some more :) What can I say….I AM the baby of the family ;)
I’m sure I feel like this on every birthday, but I felt
extra loved on this one. I was so
full of joy all day long and I have my friends and family to thank for that.
The Lord has seriously blessed me this past year and I can’t wait to see what
he has in store for me this year!
CHEERS ;)
love yall!
