Happy Birthday wishes :)

Yesterday was my birthday, and I have to admit that I didn't think that anything really great would happen. Birthdays have always been kind of a big deal to me, and it's important to me to do something special on my birthday and I love it when people plan things for me, it makes me feel so special and loved. My best friend, Chase, has not been able to make it to a single birthday for me, yet he's made every birthday so special. The first birthday I had when we knew each other was only a week after we had first met, but he still remembered and sent me many birthday wishes. The next birthday he couldn't make because of family reasons, but he made it special for me by planning our own Homecoming dance in our friend's basement, a surprise party with my closest friends and dinner to one of my favorite restaurants. The next birthday I spent my first year at college, and he planned a surprise party for me at my cousin's apartment. He had pizza delivered and worked with my cousin to make sure that I had friends who came and ate with me, and also delivered flowers to her apartment for me. This year, he's on his mission, so I really wasn't expecting anything at all, hence why I didn't think anything would happen. Well, boy oh boy was I wrong. I hadn't heard from him in about a month and was feeling really down and upset over it, when I received a package in the mail. Due to complications I wasn't able to get it til later on in the day, and walked into my apartment after all my classes at 3:30 to find 6 red roses with a card on the table. I have no idea how he was able to do that, but he did it! And he made my birthday so special. Afterwards I had fun with my friends who came over for a cake party, but Chase was still there in spirit through the flowers he gave me. Chase makes me smile :) And so does turning 20! Happy Birthday to me :) And here's a quick shout-out to my mother: thank you for giving birth to me 20 years ago. I appreciate it.

Yes, I did cry. Only the happiest tears :)
