Here is a run down of my birthday this year....pretty much as it happened. :)
I am actually going to start the night before around 7pm.
So I am actually scheduled to get a tat from our local ink artist Edie, she is awesome at what she does. A recent good friend asks to tag along so I say yes. I get to my appointment at 7 but am asked to return half an hour later. So I go with my friend David and hang out in his room just shooting the breeze. 7:30pm rolls around and we to back and I spend the next 3 hours getting new ink.
Here it is.
So around two hours into this, David says he has to make a phone call and then disappears for quite awhile. I think he just got tired and went home, but no, after awhile he shows back up.
Once the tat is complete, I thank Edie then me and David leave, me to my room and him to his. When I get to my room it is dark as my roommate is asleep since he has to get up at 5am for kitchen duty while I took the day off for my birthday. I get ready in the dark and hit the sack.
I sleep until 8:30am when my dad calls to wish me a happy birthday but I don't answer since I'm half asleep. I crawl down from my tiny "loft" and notice on my desk is a present and a card. I think right away my roommate did this and get happy. I'm just about to text him thanks when I think I should wait till I read the card. So I go get breakfast (since it's Friday breakfast is sausage gravy, buttermilk biscuits, and fried eggs) when I get back to my room I settle in before my computer and open the usual windows such as FB, emails, ect. Then I open the card to find out it's from DAVID!!!!! THAT SNEAK!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Turns out when he when to make a phone call he really went to Target and got me a birthday present and a birthday card! :D The present was a pair of running underwear that prevents chaffing and something he knew I needed. What a great brother in Christ he is!!!!
So I spend time on FB thanking people for the incoming b-day wishes, so much love on FaceBook that day it was truly wonderful (the awesome birthday wishes came until late that night). Then I go downstairs for lunch and as I am grabbing a grilled cheese another good friend Carriane came into the lunch room with some birthday cupcakes and everyone sang "happy birthday"to me!!! Sweet!
I go outside with a cupcake and grilled cheese and flute so I could jam while I wait for some other friends to join me for some praise and worship.
After awhile no one shows up so I wander inside and find them all there in out of the heat hahahaha so we jam a bit of praise and worship....loved it.
Afterwards I go back to my room and jump online for awhile and then me and a really good friend Micah go to Byrons where he treats me to a triple cheeseburger with bacon and fries with cheesy sauce. YUMMERS!!!!!!!
We then watch chow down and then head downstairs where another good friend Scott C sets up in the Garden room so we can watch some Monty Python.
This is Micah
This is Scott C
About 8PM I head upstairs cause Aracely B had asked me to play keyboards for praise and worship but after a few minutes it is painfully obvious that my skills have rusted way worse than I had thought. So I am leaving (very embarressed btw) when Rosalie asks me to play bass instead of her, at first I say no but then give it a try and long story short I am playing bass tomorrow for church service. YAY!!!!!!! (sorry, no picture for this part)
Going back to my room I see my roommate is asleep (he had to be up like 4am or something crazy like that for a side job) so I quietly jumped online for an hour and continued to thank people for birthday wishes and then I posted a last thank you for the night and went to bed so very happy after the best birthday I have ever had....ever.
Oh, I had great phone (yes, me who hates talking on the phone) conversations with Dodie, Dad and of course mom. Melissa did not send me an email or call....I can't believe she forgot me.... and even though I got a birthday wish from Santos (brother-in-law) I got nothing from my sister Christen. *sigh*. Well, besides those two really hurtful things I sincerely had the best birthday I have ever, ever had.
God is soooooo good....always!!!
Thank you Abba for another year you have blessed me with, thank you Yeshua for my salvation and for forgiving me of ALL my sins but especially for the gift of forgiving others for hurting me (I could never do this without you Yeshua) and Holy Spirit for guiding me, loving me, and always speaking truth and nothing but truth to me no matter what.
I will always serve God not matter what. Amen.
Thanks for taking time to read my birthday blog, God bless you and keep you.
