Birthday Weekend

This weekend was full of fun!! I got to start celebrating my birthday Thursday and continue celebrating all through the weekend! Thursday we celebrated my birthday at work. It was really fun! They brought cake and everyone got together and ate and chatted. It was a nice break from work. Then on Friday Cameron surprised me and took me to my favorite restaurant-Macaroni Grill-for my birthday! The food was great as usual and it was great to celebrate and enjoy my birthday with Cameron. After dinner we got to go bowling with Amberly and Joe! I just love them! Joe kicked everyone's trash at bowling and lets just say I am not going pro anytime soon.




Then on Saturday I started out the day with a bridal shower! I was really excited to see all of my friends and celebrate. It was pretty fun. I got some pretty interesting gifts lol. But my favorite of them all was my sister gave me a fish! Cameron and I now have our first pet! Cameron took the liberty of naming him and we are now the proud owners of Pug. Yep that's what Cameron named our fish. lol Cameron really loves pugs and wants one really bad. But until we can have a dog this fish will be his pug lol.


After the shower, Heather, Jaclyn and Shell took me out for ice cream for my birthday! We went to coldstone! I love that place. Ice cream is like my biggest downfall in life lol I just love it. Then I came home and got cleaned up and then me and Cameron went to dinner with my mom and step-dad and whit and her boyfriend Justin for my birthday. We went to Robintinos! I love that place. After dinner we came back to our house and had cake and opened presents! I got some really great things! Whit gave me a George Foreman grill! I was so excited. Then my mom gave me an electric frying pan and some other great kitchen gadgets! She also gave me some movies and a nice trash can and toothbrush holder for our bathroom. My grandparents also came over and did presents with us! My grandma always give such fun gifts! This year she gave me some really cute Easter decorations!I am really excited to have cute things to put on display in my house for the holidays! Cameron gave me a super cute new shirt. I just love it.



Sunday was my actual birthday. I turned 22 this year. Man that number sounds weird. I feel like I am really getting old lol. Birthdays that fall on a Sunday are not the most exciting though lol. I got to sleep in and have a great breakfast, then we went to church. After church we went with my step-mom's family and had dinner and celebrated my birthday and my dad's birthday. I got some fun new clothes and some gift certificates to go shopping and to dinner! Cameron and I will really love the chance to go out and have a date night!
The whole weekend was full of celebration! I had a great weekend and a great birthday.

4th of July

The 4th of July this year was really great! Cameron and I wanted to do something fun and different. So we decided to go to the zoo! We also invited Tyler and Kristine to come with us. I am so glad that they came with us! It was really fun. The last time that I went to the zoo I was in elementary school. Basically just way too long ago. I think that my favorite exhibit was the elephants! They were so cute! Especially the baby elephant. It would kick a ball with its trunk and play with the zoo keeper. It would also sit down on an old tire and then not like how it felt and stand up and try again. It was cute! It was fun to watch them eat too. Its so strange that they use their nose to pick everything up and to feed themselves. My next favorite was the giraffes. I made Cameron take a picture in front of the giraffes lol. What can I say...I just thought it was cute.

I was kind of sad that the zoo was under construction and the polar animals were not on display. I really love penguins and polar bears! But they will not be at the zoo for close to a year. I guess that we will have to go back! To finish off our zoo adventure we had all packed a picnic and ate our lunch in the zoo. It was a really fun day spent at the zoo with friends and even better great weather!
Finally for our 4th of July adventure we got to go to Oakridge for dinner and fireworks! I am like a little kid and get so excited to see firework every year. I just love them. Dinner was so good! Its an all you can eat buffet of international foods. There was American food, Mexican, Italian and Jamican food. They were all really good! But I think that my favorite part was the all you can eat dessert lol. They had dessert from all of the different countries. It was so good.
After dinner and now feeling way too full lol it was time for the fireworks! Its really fun to go there and watch fireworks because you sit outside on the golf course and watch them. It is a great spot to people watch and just hang out with family. The fireworks were really great and I am so excited that I got to spend that time with Cameron and watch fireworks together! It was a really great day and we had tons of fun!
