So Saturday, it was birthday celebrating time! I was so fortunate to have Marina, Elyse, Hanna, and Hanna's husband Patrick to go out with me and celebrate. First we went to a little Italian Lights Festival in town, and then we celebrated on South 12th street in Nashville. We ate awesome food at Mafiaoza's and had some drinks. It was a great time, and then went back to Hanna's to hang out until around 1:15. Great night! A sweet way to ring in the big 2-3.
Saturday started with Marina and I eating breakfast, and us having a knock on our front door. It was a delivery guy that had dropped off some beautiful roses from, none other than, Bryce. Such a sweet surprise!
I woke up on Sunday, my actual birthday, and laid in bed until around 9:30. I saw this on Google, which was kind of cool!
Marina and I text each other from the next room if we're too tired to get up. (Doesn't everyone do that?) Anyways, she texted me to come out of my room and she had such a beautiful gift for me!! So SO sweet of her.
Then I got ready and went to church. Hadn't been to the late service here yet, but it was so good to get to sleep in and then worship on my birthday! Then I went and got a haircut (which, I hadn't done in over a year...like, seriously. It had been a long time).
Then I made a quick trip to the store on my way home from Franklin. I got home and Hanna was over to study for our test the next day! And sweet Marina had made a meal for us (seriously - roommate of the year, am I right??)
...oh, and bought me a cake and candles!!!!!
I'm so grateful I had such sweet people to spend my day with.
My cup runneth over!
That night, I opened a few gifts from mine and Bryce's parents. Check out this card from The Hubenaks... I'm pretty sure I was crying/laughing from my excitement. It was like San Antonio in an envelope, and it sings Tejano music when you open it!!!
I miss Bryce everyday. For now, on this Monday night, I get to see this from him right before I go to sleep. Look how beautifully they're opening up!
Year 23 starts now! It's been an awesome and humbling journey so far.
