This weekend I was able to go up to see my cousins for the first time since last summer. They live in Bonnie Lake about 45 minutes out of Seattle. My family has been able to see them a few times but I'm always at college doing my thing so I was super excited to go down. It was just my grandma, my mom, three of my sisters and me and we went down for Dion's grad party. His graduation had been on the previous Tuesday but we had work, etc. so we decided to go down for the party instead. We drove up after I finished work on Friday and got there around 8. Most of us slept inside on the ground but my Mom and I decided to set up a tent in the backyard and sleep but it ended up raining and it was super cold so maybe it wasn't such a good idea after but it was sort of fun because I haven't been camping in FOREVER! Dion and I were able to talk to each other for awhile that night in my tent which was really nice because we haven't had a personal one on one talk since last summer when he came to visit me at college. The next morning it was raining hard and I was freezing so I woke up and went to take a shower and it was like 6:55 in the morning and I totally thought it was at least 9! haha! We all ended up going to Toy Story 3D for free and got concessions for free too since Troy, my Uncle, had a work party and then we went home to a super fun graduation party that afternoon. We ended up leaving around 6pm. It was a super short trip but it was nice to go down and see them a little. We will be back there a few more times this summer.
Today is Father's day and my birthday! This is the 4th time this has happened in my life, once when I was 2, then at age 8, and then 13 and now! The next time it will happen will be when I am 30 and I will have to share the day with my husband that time. :) I've gotten quite a few cards and my roommate from college last year sent a letter and some really cute earrings in the mail for me. She also called me last night which totally made my day. Today one of my friends stopped by and brought me a gift and next weekend we are celebrating her birthday! My Mom made me a special dinner tonight and now we are about to have cake and open some presents! I'm excited since my grandparents are coming too! yay!!!
