- I am a pretty early riser. During the week, I wake up at 6 every morning. So on Saturday, when I should be waking up late to allow time for a birthday surprise apparently, I woke up at 8 and thought that was a wonderful birthday sleep in. I start getting out of bed and Taneesa says, "Lauren, go back to sleep." I say, "I can't Taneesa!" She tells me to try, so I close my eyes as I hear her rummaging around the aparment for the next hour while I'm faking that I am still asleep. I sneak Fablehaven 5 to read under the covers. Finally, she comes in to get me and says she is ready. And this is what I find :)
Yes, my name is spelled purposely wrong...
Streamers!
Little 20's everywhere with "We Love You" signs
Bathroom decorations
Little 20's everywhere!
- My roommates then provided a delicious breakfast for me of colored pancakes and eggs. So yummy! So sweet :)
- After the breakfast, I had to complete a poster for one of my classes. So I got hard to work, in my birthday hat, on my poster...
I am a cheap college student, so instead of using poster board, I cut up this box
Happy Birthday to me.. happy birthday to me...
Gandhi says, "happy birthday to me too!" hahahaha
I love Gandhi...
Poster created
- Let me just remind you, that yes, my birthday is in the month of April, and on the day of the 9th, where most people consider it to be a spring month. But let me allow you to take a gander at the conditions outside on this lovely day of my birth...
Oh Logan...
- Next I opened lovely cards from my family everywhere. They were all so sweet and kind to remember me on my birthday :)
More came later that day :)
- Next, Taneesa allowed me the choice of anywhere I wanted to go for my birthday. As nasty as this is, I really wanted to go to a Chinese Buffet! Unfortunately, the only one in town was shut down a week ago for either selling cat, diseased chicken, or health code issues; rumors are still circulating. So, I decided we should go to the newest restaurant in town called "Chuck-a-Rama", a crazy massive buffet! I was met by tons of my favorite people, flowers, and balloons! Holy moly did I feel loved!
Matt, Kels, and Bryce
Love this boy more than words...
The reason I came to the buffet... :)

- While I was at the lovely buffet, a little man came hobbling up to me and asked if it was my birthday. I said it was, and he said it was his too and that he had a little something for me. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a 2 dollar bill :) It made me laugh and smile so much! I asked for a picture with him. Oh, I just adore people that are out to make your day that much better.
What a wonderful birthday. Once again, I am so blessed :)
