I turned 22 last weekend! Huzzah! I've always loved the fact that my birthday is exactly one week before Halloween! It allows me extra time to celebrate during my favorite time of year! =)
My birthday weekend was a success!
First, Dustin and I saw one of our favorite artists, Allen Stone, perform in Seattle. We even got to meet him! (Look him up...seriously! He's amazing! allenstone.net)
The next day we carved the pumpkins we picked in Yakima!
Naturally, I designed an Up With People pumpkin! I'm just too excited!
Then it was time to go to see the Death Cab for Cutie concert. Dustin bought me tickets for my birthday present! =) He also treated me to a delicious dinner and dessert at The Cheesecake Factory (one of my favorite restaurants!) This is the pose he struck when I tried taking his picture!
Gotta love him!
Gotta love him!
Death Cab was awesome. And they played my most favorite song, Transatlanticism, very last! What a great way to end the show!
The next night I celebrated with some friends in Tacoma! We went out to Red Robin, per usual tradition since being at UPS!
I was super sick on my actual birthday, both with corneal abrasions in my right eye and the black plague (ha- right!)...but what else is new? I'm always sick on my birthday! Dustin made it better by bringing me flowers from my parents, our favorite chocolate pie, and a fun surprise book! I only get to look at a page a week until Christmas! Eventually the book will tell me what my Christmas present is! What a sneaky little devil!
A week later, I was treated to a home-cooked birthday dinner by Dustin and Dylan's wonderful grandma, Mary. It's so great having her in town!
Even though I was super sick on the actual day, it was still a great extended birthday celebration stretching from before my birthday to a week after! Fun! Here's to the exciting year of being 22!
