Birthdays

A few weeks ago I got the portion of my blog that I wrote while I was in Jerusalem printed and it look so good! If any of you readers have been contemplating doing this, do it! It is so worth it.
On a different note I have decided to devote this post to birthdays.
Today is the birthday of one of my very best friends, Kelsee Clark.
I thought back today to when we were just freshman in college.
That was SO long ago it seems!
It feels like those days, those tests, those people, don't exist anymore.
I just feel very unattached to that time of life. I do remember
that Kels and I had a ton of fun.
I remember her alarm haha and how she slept on the couch most
of our freshman year.
I remember the dart boards in many of our friends apartments.
I remember driving to pick a friend up from the airport right after Christmas break
in Seth.
A giant snow storm was happening. We are talking blizzard.
It was so terrifying and Kels just slept in the back seat ha.
It is raining outside and this takes me back to the summer when we both turned 18 or was it 17?
We took each other out to dinner on separate nights.
Kels took me to this cool turkish place and when we got home it was pouring.
So we went outside fully clothed and my sister made a music video of us to Do you know by Enrique.
Haha it was so fun.
Ever since then I always want to dance in the rain because of the fond memory associated with it.
Our 19 birthdays were spent apart from each other, I was in Provo on my 20th but pre occupied, and now our 21st birthdays have been spent apart. I imagine that we won't ever be together on our birthdays again, something that makes me sad and attests to the fact that our lives are going down different roads.
Its ok though.
I am so thankful for all of the memories we have made together thus far and I know someday we will start making memories together again :)
Well for documentations sake I will tell you about my birthday.
So my mom and I went shopping and then we went to the Suns Buffet. It is Chinese and divine. Seriously, who knew?
GO THERE.
After that I went home and got ready for my birthday date!
Grant and I went to Sushi at Ra, one of my favorite places. My favorite dish
was the raw yellowtail slices wrapped around jalapenos and cilantro and dipped in a special sauce.
SO DIVINE.
They also served their own bomb version of fried ice cream. So good.
We then went to his house and watched a movie.
It was a lovely birthday :)
So now I am 21 and I have a credit card.
It is a gap card.
I have used it like 3 times now and felt all anxious tonight after thinking about my bill!
Haha
I took the GRE today and saw 2 people I knew!
That was fun.
Also, I leave for Hawaii bright and early Monday morning.
I haven't packed yet.
I hate packing.
Today there was a cockroach crawling in my closet.
I calmly went into the bathroom, grabbed a tissue and pinched that cockroach dead.
I am not afraid of creepy bugs or spiders.
I say just KILL em.
It is probably weird that I didn't mind the cockroach huh? haha
