Well this was a great weekend... it was my birthday weekend actually. On Saturday the 24th I turned 21 years old... yep, the big 2-1. So to celebrate this occasion, myself and 6 of my friends drove down to San Diego to hang out there for the night and the next day. We went down on Friday and checked into the Mission Valley Resort. It was an okay place, and it fit all 6 of us (not to their knowledge), so that was a good thing. So Ash, Sarah, and I drove down and got checked in. Kim, Sarai, and Alana drove down about 2 hours later than us. However, we hit some traffic, stopped to get food, and then got lost trying to find a grocery store in San Diego, so we ended up at the hotel around the same time, about 1030pm. So we just hung out until midnight. Then at midnight they all aimed those 4th of July confetti popper things at me.
The next morning we woke up early. It's weird because it was still my birthday, but it felt like it was over since I celebrated and then slept, ya know? Anyways... so Sarah and I woke up early to Hooch callin' us for directions (she met us down there). So then Ash woke up. Then Sarah and I spent the next hour trying to get Kim, Sarai, and Alana to wake up. Weird things had to happen for this to be accomplished, and I'm not going to write any of it down haha. So Hooch gets there and we check-out of the hotel, pack a picnic lunch, and head to the beach. Oh wait, actually we went to a 2-story target first, because that's just freakin awesome. Then we went to the beach.
Actually--hold that thought. So on the way to the beach, I recieved the BEST birthday gift EVER!! No really-- my two friends, Jenni and Robin, called me from Turkey. They called me from a freakin foreign country on my birthday! That is blog-worthy. That made my day, my week, and my freakin' life! To hear their voices was amazing! I didn't want to stop talking to them!! But it has to be a short conversation of course, but it was still ahhhhhmazing! I'm glad they get home in 3 days, because I wouldn't have been able to talk to them and then not see them for another few weeks. Man, I miss those fools!! So thanks to you both--- you are the best friends EVER!!! :)
...So we did the beach thing and then once we got a little bored and a little cold--since it was overcast--we drove around and looked and nice houses and asked them if we could shower in their guest homes..... no really, we did. Actually, only one of us asked-- and I'm sure you can figure out who. Then we got ready at Ashley's cousin's house, and went downtown. We got a late start on dinner, but luckily we didn't have to wait at all, we were seated right away. We ate at the Hardrock Cafe. The waitress wanted me to get drunk because it was my 21st birthday lol-- don't worry, I didn't! I had this drink though-- a wabooso or wabasi, i dunno, started with a "w". I thought it was going to be blue, but it wasn't. And it didn't taste very good either. Should have just gotten a strawberry daquiri lol. Oh well. So we ate dinner, walked around for a little, and then drove back home. It was fun.
My friends all pitched in and got me a pass to disneyland. So if you have a pass, let me know.... but mine's blocked out till mid-August lol, so not for a while. So I got home around 1230am and then was exausted and crashed.
Sunday I went to Newport and celebrated the birthday with my parents, my sister and her boyfriend, Ashley and her parents, and Chel! It was good times as well. Ashley even cancelled plans to make it, so that made me happy, what a pal huh? I sure think so!
Well I guess that's it.... I don't really feel like blogging much today, so I'm going to go run some errands now and just stop talking. Buuuuuuut, be excited, because Jenni and Robin get back on Thursday-- that's right: 3 days!!! Yeah yeeah yeeeah yeeeah yeeeeeeeeah!!! Can you tell I'm excited? Cuz I freakin am! lol
About Me
- Christie Nicole
- Im back from Rwanda! It was an incredible experience and I enjoyed every second of it. I miss it tons and I would go back tomorrow if they let me, but I am content with the time that God alloted for me there. I just recently turned 21 years old (party!! --joking lol) and I am going to be a senior here at cbu. I have no idea what I want to do when I graduate, and I probably need to figure that out soon, but i'm majoring in kinesiology regardless, it's a cool major. For the summer I'm living on campus at school, working in the Provost office about 30 hours a week and other than that I'm pretty much doin' a whole lot of nothing. I have a great family that supports me and loves me unconditionally and that's pretty amazing in this kind of world we live in. Basically, I am blessed!

well, i am so glad you had a fabulous Bday! i miss you tons and i wish i could have been there so that you didnt look like such a loner eating by yourself with a picture frame to keep you company, but what can you do?
since i know that most people dont revert back to past blogs and check comments, i am going to comment for all of them now.
i do a similar counting thing, not necessarily with syllables though. and i dont always start on my left side, in fact, i usually start with the right. i know that doesnt make sense considering the fact that you read starting on the left side of a page, but i think its cause i am right hand dominant maybe.
also, i dont like feet much either.
well i think that people are going to think i am a comment hog, cause this will take up a good portion of the page, so im just going to say that i miss you, and i will blog very soon!
