Beyond Amazing Birthday!

In the past, my birthdays have never been 100% satisfying. Usually one of my best friends ditch me or people forget it even is my birthday. This year was different. Being with and around the right people made my birthday weekend the best days of my life. On Friday, my roommates and I went out to a party in Lawndale. Even though the cops came in about an hour after it started, I still had a lot of fun with them. We made a stop at In-N-Out, watched the Jersey Shore at my boyfriend's house, and had a good night sleep. 
On Saturday morning, I had orientation for work until about 10:30 am. When I got back to my dorm, a few of my roommates and I decided to hitch a ride to the beach. It was such a gorgeous day outside and the weather was perfect. Laying out on the sand never felt so good and so necessary. Later, I got ready for a dinner with my volleyball team. My roommates and I went on the bus to Panama Joes on 2nd Street where we met the rest of my teammates. This whole group of girls in one place turned out to be extremely entertaining. They were all so fun, super nice, and hilarious! We met some cool people who welcomed us into the restaurant. After, my boyfriend picked me up and something happened next. He was driving and said, "Oh my gosh babe, my shoes are hurting me. I think I have another pair in the trunk...will you go get them for me?" Of course I was going to get them. I took the keys and as I opened the trunk, a group of 16 red balloons flew out. I did not expect it at all! I felt my face light up with excitement. He smiled at me and said, "There's more..open up!" He handed my a present to open. As I got to the bottom of the wrapping, it was a piece of paper. I was a little confused at first but then I kept reading. It was a ticket to STAGECOACH!!!!!!!! ahhh!!! HOW COOL IS THAT?! Omg, I was so happy! I gave him extra kisses and long hugs full of thanks and appreciation. 
The night was not over. He was about to drop me off at my friend Cristina's house until something came up and he had to pass by his house. He made me get out of the car and go inside for a second. I walked into the door and BAM, "SURPRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISEEEE!" All my friends popped out of the dark and yelled out a huge wish of happiness on my birthday. It was scary, yet so thrilling at the same time. After I got shot with nerf guns and popped in the head with an abundant amount of balloons, I went around to give all my friends hugs. It was so exciting to see all my different friends in one room to celebrate my birthday with me. 
This weekend turned out to be my best birthday yet. I still have about 42 minutes to spend of it too. Hehe. I can't believe God has given me such great friends and has surrounded me with so much love. I am so thankful for all these people in my life. Happy Birthday to me! :)
