Yay! I'm 21!

It's my birthday!

Not for much longer, but it was good while it lasted!

The festivities began with a shot of Tequila at midnight (ridiculous!), and the day dawned bright and sunny, without snow!, which I loved a LOT!

There was Patient Appreciation Day at the chiropractor's where food was served and decorations were put up (Kayla said it was because they knew it was my birthday, but just gave it a general title so as not to offend other patients).

There were lots of hilarious and touching messages from friends and family: People from all over the world sent their love! I even got to talk with Chrissy in South Africa, and got an email from a friend in India!

I got to nap in front of a warm fire at the Chapel (unintentional, but wonderful nonetheless).

Jones and Kayla and I went out to Pedro's for dinner. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my ID. Yes, folks, I finally get to use an ID, and nope, don't have it. Well, the waitress rocked and brought me a margarita anyway. (It had nothing on the chips and guac, though.)

All in all, it was a normal day. There were classes and papers (still unwritten) and those damn Asian Beatles (seriously infesting my room again?!) but really, it was nice. It was nice to just relax and bask in the love of friends and family. Thanks to everyone who sent birthday wishes - I'm thankful for you, and for the wonderful years of the past, and I'm looking forward to another good year ahead!

Recently in a somewhat frustrating conversation, I told someone, "I eagerly anticipate the time in my life when society will allow Christian living be about more than never consuming alcohol or having sex."

Congratulations! You've knocked off one of the two!
