Last week was all about sweats, sweets, and studying. Finals kicked my butt and I didn't do much other than preparing for them. My last final was set for Friday morning, so Thursday night was spent studying and studying and studying. Finally around 11 I decided we had better go to bed. As we were getting ready for bed, we heard a loud pounding on our door. Derek ran to see who it was, but the peephole was covered! The pounding and our freak outs continued. We had no idea who it was. Finally, my sister called Derek's phone, then mine, then Derek's again and the thought jumped into my head "MY SISTER IS HERE! HOW IS MY SISTER HERE?!" Derek, clueing in, told me there was no way she could be, but opened the door anyway and there they were. My mom and little sister. Were outside my apartment. At 11 pm. Derek hadn't realized they were coming Thursday night instead of Friday night, which helped with the surprise I guess. Then they informed me that they came because they were taking me to Disneyland for my birthday! Twenty-one shmuney-one. I'll always be a kid at heart and going to Disney for my birthday was beyond great. The weather was beautiful, the air was clean and crisp, and all the Christmas decorations warmed my heart.
My family stayed until Sunday so they could eat cake and sing happy birthday to me, but then they were off and I spent a great relaxing day with the cute hubby I've been so blessed to have. They spoiled me rotten, a sewing machine, cute clothes, a super nifty breakfast in bed tray, and plane tickets for San Francisco {hopefully}. I am seriously the luckiest girl alive to have such a wonderful and thoughtful husband and to have a family that would fly out for a weekend just to be with me when I turned 21. My heart is so full and I feel so blessed:)
