24

1 year closer to the age I'm looking most forward to being.... 25!!

The Bf came to visit me for my birthday weekend so that made it that much more special :)! I didn't do anything crazy or special, which is what I wanted.. I just wanted to have a relaxing weekend where I could pretend to live in a world where there were no articles to read, no papers to write, and no project deadlines.

He landed on Friday so while he was taking a nap from his red eye flight, I got a lot of work done for class before starting to live in this fantasy land of no work. For lunch, we tried this restaurant that my yoga instructor told me to go to called La Poste, designed after the French post office (how appropriate for my birthday weekend, right?!). It was so delicious! They had the greatest fries and burgers even though they had a bunch of other, but more pricey, things on their list.

Later that night is basically when I celebrated my birthday. I went out with a bunch of amazing friends at the same bar that I've been having my birthday at since I moved to Ohio (might as well make it a tradition at this point), Neon's! I'm so grateful for the people who came out that night because it was a rainy and cold night... I would've stayed at home under a blanket if I was them... but of course, it's me! Kidding! And then after only three drinks and a low tolerance caused by this thing called grad school, we all went to this new place I never knew of, called Japps (again, so appropriate). They had a dance floor so even though I hated the music (it was like 70s and 80s or something), I had SOOOOOOO much fun because I got to dance with friends! I haven't danced in so long.. gosh, I miss Cali and Cali friends sometimes. But got the chance to get my groove on so that was mucho fun :)!!!

Then The Bf was quite hungover the next day so we just watched movies and ate pizza and junk food all day haha. And Sunday, my actual birthday, we did something else that I love.. played volleyball and went to yoga!! The Bf showed me some new techniques on how to lift weights and build my giant muscles, played vball with friends, and then went to yoga! My yoga instructor, Leslie, is the sweetest person in the entire world and I had told her how he was coming to visit so she was really excited to meet him. The Bf didn't do too bad either at all the yoga poses!

But anyway, that is all.. yes, I'm getting old and my adventures are becoming stories that grandmas tell. I know, I know... I'm getting boring as hell. I promise I'll have some exciting things to talk about sometime soon! I am still waiting to go on my 2nd skydive.. it's been delayed twice already because of the windy weather. I'll keep you updated :)!
