Yesterday I became old. Sure I am still considered a young adult but heck 19 is a big number in my eyes. Now, as a college student with friends just as busy as myself, the only day this week that I could celebrate was Tuesday. This worked out great since the bowling alley had $2 bowling. Unfortunately there was a 45-minute wait that we could not handle. We went to Walmart and got groceries to make supper and went back to the dorm only to realize that we had forgotten taco seasoning. Courtney and I put together salsa, and several other spices left behind in the dorm kitchen to make the best taco salad I have ever had! So, as I was doing dishes before we ate, Kathryn came in with 24 moist, delicious cupcakes. We ate then went all around four floors of the 8-story dorm to pass them out to all of the wonderful friends I have made over the past few months.
Thursday marked a year for Aaron and I. Unfortunately (or so I thought), I was unable to go on a date with him like he had wanted to. I was working until 6 and had a two-hour meeting as well that night. When I got back to his apartment, we sat around working on homework until he got up suddenly and said, and I quote, "Joyful Noise is showing at 10 and I can always stay up for Dolly Parton." This is at 9:45 PM too. I might have been dating him for a year, but he still knows how to shock me. Might I remind you that he never purposefully will stay up much later than 10 much less go somewhere after 10. I call him to talk at 10 and he complains it's bedtime. I am still sitting on his couch at 10 and he sends me home because it's his bedtime. The only time I have ever seen him stay up much later than 10 is for homework. This kid is the only one I know who cannot miss his bedtime! I do have to say that spending the first 15 minutes of my birthday with him was the greatest start to any birthday.
Now I may not have gotten to go out on the town or received a dozen roses from Aaron, but I was happy to have had such great people around me.
