Birthday Celebration

One of the best things about having a fall birthday (September 19!)  is that it’s one of the first celebration of the year.  Even though I’m a junior, I’m only 20. (I hated driving after everyone… but as the years progress I’m sure I’ll love being the young one!)  Because it isn’t a major birthday, I was just going to lay low. Maybe get some Portillo’s, hang with friends and relax.

I was expecting to come back downtown, get my friend, and head out to lunch,  but I was in for a big surprise.  I came back to three of my best friends in my room with a cake and decorations everywhere.  It was a great surprise to come home to, and completely unexpected.  Here’s a picture of their masterpiece.

For the rest of the day, I hung out with friends, watched movies and ate a lot of Portillo’s. (Best. Italian beef. Ever.)  This Saturday, my friends and I are all going out to eat a place we’ve never been, Quartino.  As you can see, I like to extend my birthday as long as possible!  I’m thankful I have great friends who made my birthday amazing, and I cannot wait until part 2 of my celebration on Saturday!
