My 22nd birthday! The best EVER :)

So, I had to stay in CA for a few extra days without Jeff because I had a doctor's appointment I had to be at, and so I flew in from CA really late on my birthday Tuesday night. After Jeff picked me up from the airport around 11 at night, we got home and he asked if I wanted to see my present right then in the lounge. Of course, I eagerly told him YES! I then followed him to the door of his apartment and peeked around the corner, and there was a GIANT hunk of a birthday present. Just for me!! I was really excited/VERY scared that his roommate Neil would pop out of it, or that it was a live animal or something. You really never know with Jeff! I think that's probably one of the things I love most about him :D


So, he carried my monstrous present over to the lounge and he continued to thoroughly enjoy my hesitant/terrified reaction to this mysterious gift.


Like I said, I was a bit terrified. Doesn't it look like it could very well be his roommate Neil curled up inside that innocent-looking wrapping paper?!


Oops, false alarm. Just some giant gifts!

Here's the aftermath of the present opening ceremony. It was AWESOME. It's fun enough to just have one great gift on your birthday, but to have like ten!! Woohoo!


Here are all the little gifts he gave me. I just love him :)







This one requires a bit of explanation. He meant to put a nicer picture in this little frame that we could put in our house, but he ran out of time putting together all these great gifts, so instead he created a drawing of our honeymoon! We are going on a week-long cruise to the "Mexican Riviera" and we are also going zip-lining on an off shore excursion as a part of it. And we are both WAY excited about it. (Okay, I might be a bit terrified of it actually, but I know it's going to be SO much fun!!)


And the night didn't end there! My amazing roommates Laurel, Natalie, and Loie all waited up for me because they knew I had a late flight (but it was still my birthday), so as soon as I opened the door, they had strange music playing (I'll leave it at that), and they were all sitting there waiting for me so we could celebrate! So, they popped open some Martinelli's and they had made me one of my FAVORITE things ever (smores toffee) and they all had written in a cute little card for me. Can you say best roommates EVER??!  




I just love them.


I loved Natalie's socks so much that I had to snap a picture. I want these socks, they are absolutely fantastic. :D


This was the sign they had posted on the door for my return home. They are just great :)

Thanks to all of you who made my birthday so wonderful!!!! It was seriously one of the best ever!
