On the 21st, gem and I picked up a pizza from Gina’s and went to Stephanie’s to hang out, eat dinner, and play Apples to Apples. It was a lot of fun! We got to meet her boyfriend for the first time, and he was super cool too. It’s nice making new, cool friends! Oh yeah, this is supposed to relate to birthdays, right? We were there at midnight when it became gem’s birthday!
For her actual birthday, we ate at BJ’s! Mmm, pizookie! We then made our way to Color Me Mine to paint bowls and a Horde cup! I didn’t finish my Horde cup, nor did we finish the bowls. We’ll have to come back again some other time. We also ran into Stephanie and Joe at Color Me Mine! They did know we were going to be there, so I suppose it wasn’t that big of a surprise…
After Color Me Mine, we went back home where I made gem hang out downstairs so she could be surprised by Antonio coming in with her cake! He texted me earlier that day about wanting to surprise gem with a birthday cake. He brought a delicious tres leches cake, and gem was surprised and very happy!
Speaking of Antonio, we had sushi with him, and the roommates later in the week. We ate so, so, so much there. Antonio paid for gem and me as a birthday present. He’s very nice. 🙂
On my birthday I threw a party after work. I invited a ton of people but assumed a lot wouldn’t come. It ended up being pretty perfect; Lots of people came, but it wasn’t too crazy. In attendance were all the roommates, Jessica, Antonio, Edward, Brittney, her boyfriend Austin, Luke, his girlfriend Melissa, Nicole, Blair, Paris, Taylor, and Alex (x3). A bunch of people brought beer, so there was plenty to go around. Blair came straight from the airport after getting back from Utah despite having a hyperextension injury earlier that day. I’m glad she could make it! I also got to sample some of Alex Hurst’s home brewed beer! I got pretty drunk I will admit. I talked to a lot of people on Facebook without remembering it seems.
