So my birthday was on May 31st. It was in the middle of the week, so we decided to wait until the weekend to really celebrate and do a nice birthday dinner. But that weekend, we went to the lake with my family, so it didn't happen. We actually made reservations for a birthday dinner a couple weeks later, but I ended up having to work late that night, and I was just exhausted, and the restaurant was kind of a long way away, so we cancelled the reservation and went to Chick-fil-A instead and I got a milkshake with my nuggets. I'm not sure if that counts as a birthday celebration, but it was a really good milkshake. Haha. Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and write a (very, very belated) birthday post.
I spent most of my 23rd birthday at work. Welcome to being a grown-up, right? It was only my second week at my summer internship, so I didn't even think anyone knew it was my birthday, but they surprised me with a cake at lunch. One of the other interns had told the recruiting coordinator it was my birthday, and she planned the cake thing. They sang "Happy Birthday" and everything. Only slightly embarassing. Haha.
I ended up working until about 8:30 that night. I was working on this project that was supposed to take another 2-3 weeks, and then some things changed with the client and I found out that day that they wanted it by that night, so I stayed to finish it. When I finally left the office, I had a ton of text messages and voicemails telling me Happy Birthday - so sweet! I really do have wonderful friends and family.
Jeff's parents totally surprised me by giving me the chandelier that was on my craft room wish list. I can't wait to hang it up!
So far, 23 doesn't feel any different than 22. I think it's going to be a good year though. This year will include my last year of law school (which should be WAY easier than the first two), my graduation, Jeff's graduation (with his Master's), a great vacation or two, and hopefully a lot more wonderful memories made with family and friends!
Happy belated bday, and you have some awesome friends and family with those great gifts!
