Love.

This week was very sweet to me, it started last Sunday (March 30) when I got to dress like someone from the 60's for our volunteer fair and dance in a shadow box (don't ask), I was surprised that my rainbow heart necklace made it through Kidcity (our children's' ministry) b/c all of my girls wanted to wear it and it broke twice...anyway. Later that evening I volunteered w/World Vision (awesome guys)at a Casting Crowns concert, they were amazing-very powerful-filled me to the brim w/Jesus. Awesome.
My birthday was on Thursday and I wanted to give a shout out to my room-mate Lauren for making me feel GREAT. She made me a cake the night before, and then when I got up the next morning and opened my door she had like 10 helium balloons scattered through the hall weighted down w/knives and spoons (best part). Then we went downtown and ate at Big Ed's (Yummmmm). That evening I had to go to school :o(, but I kind of had to b/c I have an exam on Tues...sad story. But when I got home her present to me was speakers for my computer (I know this may not be exciting to many, but I was stoked). On Friday me and 7 of my closest pals went and ate sushi at Shiki Sushi in Durham (my fav!), I love sushi-it was a boatload of fun-get it? (see pic below-I know I'm a cheeseball).

I'm not big on presents, but a creative one I got was from one of my hairstylist friends-Stephanie at my spa-she is a really good cook and she bought me mixing bowls and wrote out some of her original recipes for me on index cards-awwww, love it. I think she was trying to tell me something though! Today I went out w/my fam for yet another birthday dinner-my Dad paints and he made me an AWESOME painting-I will post a pic of it later, and now I have to go study and get ready to go and cook at a friends house-food, food, food! I will be so happy when this exam is over, I can't believe it's already April-where does time go?
