happy birthday

C is the birthday boy today!

He came home from his loooong backpacking trip

(sore and sunburned)

looking handsome as ever, and it was soooo good to see him!

He loved what I got him

(quilt and rock climbing book)

and we went to dinner.

It was wonderful to see him again.

And guess what???

Summer semester is over!!!

I survived!

Aren't you proud?

I'm very proud of myself. Haha.

PS: It's Shark Week...I've never been into it before,

but this year I am hooked! It is absolutely amazing.

Sharks are neat!

it's monday

Missing a certain someone right now.

He is backpacking for a few days,

and this will be the longest we've ever been apart.

I don't like it one bit.

But I hope he is having fun,

and I will see him soon.

And I will celebrate his b-day with him.

Hooray for birthdays!

(And in case you were curious, I figured out what to get him. I hope he'll love it)

Here's to summer semester being over in two days! Woohoo! I'm super stoked.

please help!!!!

Dear bloggy friends:

C's birthday is coming up, which means choosing a present needs to happen soon.

I am terrible at this.

My first thought was my signature gift

(coughquiltcough)

but I haven't really decided if that's what I want to do.

My other thought costs $80.95.

A little out of budget I think.

So, this is where I need help.

Please please please,

if you have any creative ideas for a birthday gift for C,

anything fun, crazy, creative, or that is just a good idea

I am all ears!

I'm horrible at knowing what to get someone

because I have so many thoughts.

So please, help a girl out!

Thanks!

it's an adult thing

Yesterday was my 21st birthday.

For reals.

I don't know when I got so old,

but nevertheless, here I am.

It was a fantastic birthday, even though I went to school.

That's never happened before. School on my b-day?

It wasn't so bad I guess.

Because after school I went to sushi with my parents and C.

Which was suuuuper delicious.

The waiter threatened a birthday song in front of the entire restaurant.

I got coconut gelato instead.

Mm mm tasty.

Then I watched C play soccer (probably one of my favorite activities).

It was a good birthday.

Thanks to everyone who wished me well yesterday.

And because I'm a nerd:
