I woke up on this day knowing that I was going to have a FABULOUS Birthday week! First of all, I knew that I was going to get to eat at 6 Feet Under today & spend that time w/ my wonderful co-workers. I had an awesome day at work and then it was home to get ready for church.

I didn’t even know that I had a surprise part waiting on me after service until Preacher EMBARRASSED ME TO DEATH! We had a quartet at our church that night from Jack Trieber’s church/school (Golden State College). When I first got to church, Bridgette & I traded off birthday cards (only to find out that we got each other the exact same one! LOL!) & Hannah came in and gave me a card also! I got 2 cards from Bridgette (one from last year & one for this year). They were both Hoops & Yo Yo cards, which are absolutely hilarious! And Hannah gave me an Edward (Twilight) card, which was SUPER HOT!!! I love me some Edward!
Then after the preachers were done preaching, Preacher announces that there is a surprise cake/party for me in the “fellowship” hall & then says that they had the quartet there that night just for me!!! HOW EMBARRASSING!!! He made them go in there with me & then Nealey gave me a card too & I got a really pretty purse from Bridgette!
After we left church we went out to eat at Denny’s w/ some of the church & the quartet. Before we left, Preacher made the guys take a picture w/ me (SUPER EMBARRASSING!) & I made them sing happy birthday to me! LOL! GREAT DAY!!!

After work I got to go out to eat w/ Mom at Red Lobster for my birthday & then we went to the bookstore (one of my favorite places now) “Books-A-Million.” Bought me some more books & established that I have SO MANY books now, I need a new bookcase. Didn’t get one yet, but I did yesterday! MUCH NEEDED! Great day & Good food!

After work, I hurried home to get ready to go out w/ my besties! We were originally going to go to Hard Rock Cafe until we found out it was a bar/lounge at night, so we went to Cheesecake Factory instead!!! YUMMY! We had such an AWESOME time that night!!! After that we drove around DOWNTOWN! We were going to go to Centennial Park, but they were having some kind of History Arts festival & it didn’t look like we should stop & take pictures! So we just cruised around looking for trouble & then we decided to go to downtown Hampton & take pictures there. Then we got home late! But, it was such an AWESOME night.

Got up SUPER early to go to Tybee Island for the day w/ Mom, Emily & Jerry!!! We had such an awesome time! We were all SO tired though!!! The waves were SO rough in the morning, we couldn’t really do much, but then we went to lunch. We wanted to go to Fannies on the Beach, but we couldn’t find a parking spot, so we ended up driving to a place called McElwaney’s (never go here) & a the hostess was SUPER rude, so we left & went to Café De Loco (never eat here!!!). They had nice people working there, but not the most cleanest restaurant. I ended up getting SO sick right before we left the beach (I was puking in the parking lot)! I think it was the mixture of the food, waves, heat, & having SO much fun in the ocean after lunch that made me so sick. Plus, I was exhausted! We left the area around 7pm. We found an awesome Walmart that didn’t give me a panic attack! It didn’t have a grocery store, Thank the Lord. We made it home around 10:30pm. Mom had to drive for the last hour & a half, b/c I was falling asleep at the wheel. I had to sleep walk my way into the house! LOL! Mom thought there were turtle crossings in Tybee??? She’s weird! LOL!

My brother cooked me an AWESOME birthday lunch: Cube Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Baked Beans, Tea Biscuits, Deviled Eggs, Sweet Tea & I think there was something else, but I can’t remember it. But it tasted GREAT!!! I was really tired this day, even though I went to sleep almost as soon as I got home the night before!

Last day of Birthday week!!! Thank you EVERYONE who had a part in it! I especially want Bridgette to know that I appreciate her giving me a surprise party after church! That was probably one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. I also want to thank my Emmy & MOM for just being w/ me & talking to me this week! Hannah & Michelle for going out w/ me on Friday night & having a blast!!! Thank you all for my presents!!! I did forget to mention that Emmy gave me 2 Robert Pattinson keychains a few weeks ago for my birthday!!! They are awesome!

I love you all & thank you for an AWESOME birthday!!!
