RE: QOTW and Birthdays

My favorite birthday has to be my 19th so far. I was a freshman up here at BYU and I had mentioned to momma that I didn't think my birthday was going to be anything really special and I was okay with that. But of course, momma being the wonderful mom that she is, immediately called Keryn and told her to think of something to make it special for me. So, when I got to work that morning, my desk was decorated with streamers, balloons, and candy, with a big sign that said "Happy Birthday, Telima!". It was a beautiful spring day and I spent a long time just wandering around campus, taking in the beautiful day. I think I found a patch of grass and read some Harry Potter. Then I went to visit Samuel at the Physics tutorial lab where he worked, and he gave me a balloon (which should have tipped me off, but it didn't). We set up a time for him and Caren to take me to dinner that night and I headed home. I walked into my apartment and then opened my bedroom door. I couldn't hardly get two steps into the room because it was literally filled with balloons! Samuel had apparently come over while I was at work and school and had filled my bedroom with balloons, with the help of Audrei and my other roommates. I had presents from my family and Audrei sitting on my bed and got to open them with all my roommates around. They had made me a cardboard car with a license plate that said "Ty'sGrl" on it. It was the cutest thing (I kept the license plate, but the rest of it has gone all the way of the world). Anyway, the end of that wonderful day was dinner with Samuel and Caren. It was a great day.
