Birthday Week Progress

As somewhat of a joke, I’ve been celebrating birthday week. I did so last year and I think a few of my friends did (some went as far as a month of celebration). My birthday week started on Saturday. I actually didn’t do much on Saturday, I worked, went to church and came home and started on a mound of homework.

On Sunday, Joshua and I went to Bloomington. Cherry, my cousin (the only family member on my dad’s side I talk to) graduated from beauty school (which I mentioned previously).  It was good seeing her and one of her sisters (my other cousin) Ruthie. Cherry’s mom (her adopted mom) was very happy to see me and quasi freaked out. It was nice. Kayleigh got there with Kaidenn at about the same time we did. We left shortly after, to go to my mom’s for my birthday celebration.

My brother, Jess and the kids (I use to say girls, but now that we Braylen, I’ve switched to “kids”) were already there. Gwen and Megan came rushing at me for a hug and Keirstyn went rushing at Joshua for a hug. Then she went back to the table for her pizza. That little punk, hugging her favorite person and forgetting me . Joshua enjoyed it. Kaidenn and Braylen were able to meet and eat each other’s hands. My big sister (BBBS) & her husband came by with salads and presents. We all sat around and ate and chatted. I blew some candles out and opened some presents too.

The girls were goofy and the babies were adorable. I got a lot of painted pictures from my nieces, I’m looking forward to putting them up. After the party ended, Joshua and I drove back up to Indy. It was great to see my family, eat Kaidenn’s face and have my nieces choose to sit on my laps while they ate. It was also sweet to see Gwen get so upset and cry because we embarrassed her about her boyfriend. Megan smelled like sweat too. Where does the time go? How is that they’re growing up so fast?

On Monday evening, Joshua, gRegor and I went to BDs for a scrumptious free (for me at least, yay free birthday meals!) meal. I ate two bowls and wanted to go for a third, pretty impressive, I know. Always delicious food, I wish I ate there more often. After dinner, we tried to find Ricky and Ian‘s #highfive party, but to no avail (at least for Joshua and I). We went to the mall and I had an asian lady rip the skin off my face. After that, Joshua and I went to church for a bit. I went home later and homework and slept.

Today I had a test at noon, so I thought that called for Monday-birthday-chick-fil-a-pre-test-sandwich. Before LOST, I Got KFC, whhhhat? Don’t judge me, it’s my birthday.

Tomorrow, the Wilsons are having a quasi meatloaf birthday party. We’re also going to play Clue-The Office edition. Mrs. Wilson is making her famous meatloaf and forcing me to open presents (I don’t like opening presents, it makes me feel awkward).

Thursday night, I believe Joshua and I are going to Bdubs, if I’m not too exhausted from the long day of classes/poetry reading I’m going to.

Friday is Thai Cafe. I tried to make a reservation, but they don’t take them. So, good luck seating 13 people on a Friday evening. Pool, drinks and maybe some dancing after ward. We’ll see how tired I am.

Saturday is still up in the air, but some plans may be forming.

Sometimes, it’s just nice to get all of that out. I’ve also been reading my grandma’s journals and it prompts me to want to write more. I know I forget so much, there are things she wrote that I don’t remember doing.

Happy Isha Birthday Week! <3
