While my birthday was yesterday, I decided to post a little about it today! I’m really incredibly spoiled sine I’ve never really had to go to work on my birthday, so I’m accustomed to having a day full of fun things.
I started my birthday celebrations out when I biked 70 miles last week, but the actual start of my birthday celebrations was August 5th when Meg and I went out to get strawberry shortcake and go for a little walk in the evening.
On my birthday I woke up nice and early and headed out for a 4 mile run. I absolutely cannot believe that this is the 5th year that I’ve gone on a birthday morning run (have I really been running that long now?!), and I love that it’s become a part of my birthday morning tradition!
After running I got ready and headed into town to spend the day with friends! I ate Chick-fil-A for lunch (what could be a better birthday lunch than spicy chicken?), and then headed to a massage.
After the massage I got a coke freeze from speedway (I had a free one so I used it yesterday to get the bigger size! :D) and talked to my college roommate.
Then it was off to the movies! A friend and I went to go see Paper Towns, and it was better than I expected (I read the book this past winter and enjoyed it. You can read my Paper Towns review here). Then it was off to a Mexican restaurant with some friends for dinner! You can’t go wrong with churros!
Then I headed to another friend’s house for the evening where we ate cupcakes and played games until 2 am.
The day was full of so many things that I love- spending time with friends, great food, physical activity, and lots of fun things. The only things I really missed yesterday were going to the pool (it was rainy for a good chunk of the day) and having a fire at night!
I’m ready to tackle this next year of life and can’t wait to see all the surprises along the way.
What a perfect day – Happy belated birthday!
It was really fantastic! 🙂 Thank yoU!
