Birthday weekends :)

Well, I'm officially no longer a teenager. I'm the big 2-0. Wow. I went home this past weekend to spend my birthday with the fam, and I loved every minute of it. I got home about 3 on Friday afternoon, and pretty much hung around the house for a while. Luke, the rents, and I all watched some t.v. that night, and then we kinda just all went to bed because we were all tired. I got to sleep in on Saturday (my birthday) which was awesome. I ate lunch after a bit, and then opened presents with mom, dad, and Luke. I got a plane ticket to go see Jeff in January (woo hoo!), a George Foreman grill (which I'm testing out tonight for dinner... looks like it's going to be really handy), some foreign money from my dad, a ginormous jaw breaker, and (6) 30 minute massages at a place in Dallas from Jeff (SO awesome. I'm definitely going to make the most of those.).

Cameron and her parents came over for dinner that night where Cam gave me Aladdin on dvd (sweeeet), and her parents got me some really awesome smelling candles :) We had dinner, cake and ice cream, and then just chatted a bit. After everyone left, Luke and I ended up watching Cowboy Bebop and then we got to bed.

Sunday consisted of going to church, packing up a bit, and heading back to C.S. with Nellie. (for those of you who don't know Nellie, she is my cat from Dallas that I'm keeping at the duplex for the time being.) Thus far Nellie has been much more outgoing than she usually is when she's in Dallas, and Liz and Gigi seem to like her too.

Monday was pretty usual with classes and everything. But when I got home, I was greeted by Liz and Gigi with a cherry cheesecake (yum) and some presents and balloons. How sweet! I love my roomies. Liz had even gotten some candles to place in the cake and light so I could blow them out :)

Yesterday I went to class then off to judo last night where everyone realized it was my birthday this past weekend. So after a hard practice, everyone got a turn at throwing me (and I was not allowed to defend myself. Apparently it's a tradition). Overall, this has been an awesome birthday. Thanks to all who have made it so special for me :)

Anyway, that's about all... i think I've caught you all up to date. Now I need to concentrate on getting some studying done.
