Wow! I can't believe I am now, offically, 22 years old. That is nuts! I have to say, though, this birthday was really wonderful. I owe that to my friend Kathryn and to my boyfriend Ben. And guess what? Thanks to Ben's amazing gift, I've got it all documented for you!
First, Kathryn took me and my friend Ashley (who happens to have the SAME EXACT birthday as me) out to lunch at Kneaders. Oh that was a delightful sandwich I had.
Then, after I went to Spanish class, Kathryn and I went and got pedicures and I finally got the long desired sparkle toes! In purple of course.
(Don't mind my chubby toes)
A little later, Kathryn and Ben rounded up the friends of mine that were available and we went out to a birthday dinner at Goodwood. I had me some juicy ribeye. Cooked to flavorful perfection.
I seriously got spoiled this year. Kathryn got me Boggle (one of my favorite games of all time!) and a new hoodie (much needed!). My grandparents sent me a really sweet card with a donation to my life funds, my dad gave me money to go and buy something that I really want (uh hem... this super cute jacket I saw at GAP), my step-dad got me a gift certificate to Amazon.com (yeah, that's already as good as gone), and my mom did me a solid and got me a WHOLE DAY at a day spa! Complete with sauna, jacuzzi, massage, and facial. Did I mention that I got spoiled??? All I asked for was a pedicure! I really couldn't have asked for a better birthday. I'm thankful for my parents for giving me a chance at life and I'm grateful for all the people in my life who love me enough to celebrate with me (that includes all those that sent me Birthday Love texts and/or Facebook messages - they all made my day!).

Glad to see you had a good day!
I'm glad you had a great day. You deserve it. I spent the day remembering the night you were born. It's a night that changed my world forever. I love you, Raechel.
