Birthday Celebration Weekend!

     After my best friends headed on a spectacular 10 day vacation to Disneyland, we were most certainly due for a get together when they returned! Conveniently, my birthday occurred while they were on vacation and my friend Jonathan (who was in Cali) had his birthday the day they returned! Due to a few of us in our group heading to college (including myself) this week, Jonathan and I quickly realized we weren't going to have enough time to have two separate birthday celebrations, but because we are all so close we were able to combined birthday parties and make things happen. We didn't just make things happen though, we made the most spectacular, enjoyable, fun, and amazing weekend before college happen. Seriously though, I could never have asked for better! 
    It started Friday evening with Jonathan having a get together with just "the guys" and Lizzie, Megan, and I getting together for what amounted to be a movie/pajama party. There were certainly points when these two events combined and we all came together to eat and open presents and such shenanigans so it turned out to be a successful Friday evening. Because we all know the guys don't like to sleep, we planned a splash of fun Saturday afternoon at my house by taking the time to relax in the pool (which was kind of cold for my taste, but they managed anyhow) and the hot tub! We then had some ice cream cake and taxied back over to Jonny's for yet another great evening of adventure! Once we all got settled we headed out for a bonfire and a couple of fireworks that Jonny decided to throw in the fire... oh, and don't forget the can of bug spray... don't ask. Just.. no questions please! 
Anyway, this too was a fantastic day overall for everyone and from what I know everyone enjoyed themselves. I can't even begin to thank EVERYONE who made it possible... Lizzie, Megan, Jonny, Logan, Tanner, Jacob, Trena, Nikki, the parents, and anyone I might be forgetting, it was truly a weekend to remember! 

Thanks for the fun everyone and remember to visit home! 
Wherever that may be for YOU!
