Catch up!

I thought I'd take a little time to catch up with my blog. WARNING: LONG POST ;-)

My birthday ended up on a good note. My mom and dad and Justin and I ate at Outback, one of my favorites! Then we all came back to my apartment to have cake and I opened a few gifts from my roommates.

Jenny gave me the neatest panoramic photo book of Australian scenery and Nicholas Spark's new book The Lucky One which I can't wait to read! Lauren gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure and manicure!!! I also got a beautiful Bible cover and a tee shirt
that I've really been wanting. Not only does the purchase of this shirt donate money to Stand Up 2 Cancer, it also gives me a way to give tribute in my grandfathers' honor. Everyone else just gave me money because that's what I asked for. I'm a broke college student after all! :-)


My Marble Slab Birthday Cake- it was so yummy!!! Chocolate Swiss icecream with yellow cake!

Friday morning I got a haircut. See below for evidence.

Justin and I went on a birthday date on Friday night! We ate at Casa Mia (http://casamiatapas.com/). It's a tapa restaurant in Athens that is so yummy! Then we went to see Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (http://www.nickandnorah.com/), which was good. It was fully in a silly way.

Saturday morning we went to the Botanical Gardens. I had an assignment that required going out there for my Medicinal Herbs and Plants class. I love going though. It's so pretty. We snapped some good photos:


I loved these because they are orange and black. HC fan always!


I loved the bees and the Purple Cone Flowers are one of my favorites!!!

This is one of my favorite colors. And I love anything in the daisy family.

Then Justin, J, and I headed to the UGA vs. TN game. It was good. No big plays really, but still the dawgs won and that's all that matters.


J and Me :-)


However when we got back to my car we found a bit of a surprise:




My car minus the driver side window. Surprisingly, the only thing they took was my set of keys which were attached to a little Vera Bradley ID wallet. We think they must of assumed there was money in there. They were probably highly disappointed when they opened it up to see nothing was in there at all. So I'm without my car for a week while my uncle orders a new window and installs it (Wilhite Body Shop- if you need any body work- he's the best ;-) I hate driving other people's cars 9driving one of my grandmother's vehicles), but at least I have one to drive AND they didn't take the three ACTUAL wallets, nice sunglasses, and PDA that was also in my car AND they only busted one window. Yes, I'm going for the glass half full approach which hasn't been the easiest.

Overall though, it's been a good week. :-) Getting ready to start another...
