the celebration

So a week ago, after an extremely long day, i came up to my room and discovered this. totally cheered me up and helped start my b-day celebration. i'm obsessed with gum, and this had it written all over it. :)

it was awesome. then friends and i headed to a soup restaurant, i had onion soup in a bread bowl--boo-ya! just like when i was a kid with the crutons and melted cheese on top. i got to see the forest too, went out when it was thundering and pouring and completely dark without a flashlight. that was fun. :) i still have bruises from a couple mud falls. i got my motorcycle ride too randomly. so all in all, i got my birthday wishes granted. i felt loved by friends, got surprises and saw and did things that God-only could have helped arranged. so i'm happy and getting re-energizing for another week....even a week after my birthday.
