My Birthday Party!

Friday Justin had to go to Grand Rapids to take his GRE. This means he had to get up early and when he did, I couldn't go back to sleep. So I got up, told him goodbye and set myself up on the couch. I spent my morning relaxing on the couch and watching Law and Order. Unfortunately, I couldn't go back to sleep.

Katie and Sarah had asked me if I wanted to go to Hobby Lobby with them, and I had said of course. So when they got home from school, we went and Dave joined us. I had to return a basket and get some stuff for my Halloween costume. After Hobby Lobby we went to Meijer. Everyone needed something.

Shortly after we got home, I got a shower and started getting ready for the evening. Justin got home fairly soon after I got my shower. We hung out for a while before we had to get ready to go to the Roadhouse. My cousin, Dan, and his fiancée, Leah, came over to see me for my birthday dinner. I got ready just before they got here. Then we all went down to the Roadhouse (Justin, Dan, Andy, Dan, Leah, Katie and I). More people met us there. We enjoyed dinner and just hanging out together. Justin got me a new camera for my birthday since my old one died. I think I talked about that on here at some point. It won't turn on anymore! :( It was an excellent camera and lasted over three years and well over 20000 pictures. I'm impressed.

Anyhow, after we were done at the Roadhouse we all came back to the 409. Katie got me a birthday cake so I made my wish and blew out my candles. AND I got to open my presents from Sarah and Katie. They are great! :D We hung out, played games, sucked helium out of balloons, and all around had a good time. Well, at least I did, I'm assuming everyone else did as well.
