The Big "2-0"



On the 4th of April I celebrated my 20th birthday! I didn't think that was that old until Jamie called me up to wish me a happy birthday and asked if I had woken up that morning with a sore back and aching joints. ...thanks a lot! ; ) So I had a really good birthday this year! On Friday (my actual birthday) Ashlee and some friends took me out to lunch to one of my favorite places, YC's, and that was a lot of fun! But then my favorite part was my date that night!

Jared and I had gone back and forth about what we were going to do and how it was going to work out and everything and things turned out a little different then were planned but it was still the best night! Our plan was to watch Testaments (it always makes him cry and i wanted to see : ) ), go out to dinner and then go star gazing. So he shows up and we are talking for a little while because i wasn't quite ready and then i ask him about the movie (he was supposed to bring it) and he realizes that he didn't even bring it! He felt so bad but it was fine. We ended up just talking and i even played one of my new songs for him on the guitar. So then we went to dinner at Charlestons with Jason and Drea. That was fun! So then we went back to my house and got a blanket and went to a nearby park and just watched the stars for awhile. ; ) It was awesome! So then we came back to my house and he gave me my AMAZING birthday present and then he went home. Sorry everyone, no birthday kiss. : ) It was just a really fun day and a birthday i will definitely be remembering!*

OH MY GOSH!! That picture of you and Jared is so incredibly cute! You look so pretty!! Maybe that "birthday kiss" will just have to be a late present! wink wink! It's too bad that you didn't get to see him cry... it's always good to know that they can cry and if they are cute when they cry. Oh and by the way I will definitely have to give you your birthday present when I get home. I'm sorry I'm not as awesome as you and that I didn't send you one in the mail.

Ahh... too bad you didn't get that kiss... so sad... I'm sure it will never come now... (yeah right!) Anyway, every time Kayla see's the picture of you and Jared (which it's on Drea's blog, my blog, and now yours) she says, "Dhere's Annie and da missionaries." I don't know why, but I guess Jared looks like the missionaries! =) That's punny!
