What a day =)

So, let me break this down for you. My countdown is officially over, which like I said before, means now I have to get extra creative in what I write in this random blog of mine.

How was my 21st birthday you ask? Great question, I'll tell you.
I woke up at 6:30am to get ready to go babysit (which is always fun).
Got home around 1:30 only to turn around and get stuff to make home-made
pizza's.
After errands, my brother (Brandon) and his girlfriend (Sarah) came up to visit
and celebrate with me. It was delightful. We found out that my dearest brother
likes to overdo on flour. (Note to everyone out there, keep Brandon away from the
flour.)
After watching Mom spread her pizza sauce all the way to the edges instead of leaving
space on the outside, and of course, Dad tossing his pizza dough in the air, only to have
it fall on the ground (10 second rule!), I realized that tonight was going to be entertaining.
Of course, I didn't realize HOW entertaining.

After pizza and presents, there was a knock on the door. Who could it be? Only my 2 best
friends from Seattle, AnMie and Molly! The two girls who had me COMPLETELY convinced
that they couldn't make it down to see me on my birthday. Of course, me, being the go with
the flow girl that I am, didn't mind and was TOTALLY shocked to see their faces standing
in my doorway! Point Mom for keeping it a total secret! And of course, brownie points
to my two best friends who are evidently good liars... at least over text.

Overall, I had a wonderful birthday.
Multiple memorable and endearing facebook (and email) birthday wishes.
Silly and sweet text messages that brightened my day.
A free VENTE chai tea latte (soy, no water, in case you were wondering).
Birthday hugs.
Family.
Friends.
Games.
Voice messages that made me smile.
Video's that made me laugh so hard I cried.

What more could a girl ask for, really?

So here's to my 6 day countdown!
And here's to my mom, who spent countless hours (yes hourS) in labor with me.
Hopefully the pain, suffering, screaming, hitting and everything else was all worth it.
