Good evening everyone! I'm still trying to get the hang of this and when to post haha, but I promise I will do my best to come up with some sort of system soon. Tonights post is going to be about a very special day of mine!
This past Sunday was my 20th birthday, which was kind of nerve racking because I'm no longer a teenager. I got to spend my special day with my whole family starting on Friday night with my parents, brother and grandma who drove down to take me out to dinner. It was the first time we had all been out to eat since the pandemic started other than me going a few other times to dinner with my boyfriend. It was a weird feeling though to wear a mask to get up and go to the bathroom, but when we were sitting down we didn't have to wear one. Besides that being a weird experience I'm so grateful for being able to go and get dinner with my family. We didn't do much else that night except relax.
On Saturday, my oldest brother and sister-in-law came over to spend the night with us and help celebrate my birthday as well. I don't get to see them very often or as much as I'd like to so it was nice being able to see them again. We just all hung out, ate good food and laughed a lot. Nights like these with the people I love most is so close to my heart and I'd be lost without my family. Both of these days leading up to my birthday were incredibly special to me, but nothing will top my actual birthday.
Sunday, (the big day haha) my lovely boyfriend drove to come spend it with my family and me, which was incredibly special to me. I got all dressed up with the intentions of taking pictures, but I got caught up in the moment, just wanting to soak it all up. Sadly I didn't get to take any pictures, but for me its the memories that I needed and wanted more than anything. Once my boyfriend got there he gave my gift to me and it made my whole day, he wanted to choose something we could do just the two of us. With that being said he took me to TopGolf and we played golf for an hour, while my mom made one of my favorite meals back home. For my boyfriends sake, yes he won both games we played and didn't let me win just because it was my birthday haha. We just laughed and had a great time the two of us. Once home, him and I were extremely tired so we laid on the couch together until dinner was ready and once dinner was over I slowly fell asleep on his lap on the couch. He is such a blessing to deal with me and take care of me extra special on my birthday. Later on, my oldest brother went and got me an ice cream cake which I get every year for my birthday. My sister-in-law sang to me in spanish and polish and I know neither of those languages, but it made me laugh. The whole day was an amazing time and I am so grateful for all of the time I got to spend with the people I love.
My biggest takeaway I wanted to share with you all is no matter what day it is whether a special one, such as a birthday or just a normal day, as long as you have the people around you that you love thats what matters. My special day would have sucked if I didn't have those special people around me and if you read my introduction post you know I'm thousands of miles from my best friends, but they still also made it special. Two of my best friends sent me gifts and I got tons of messages, but even being far away I still had them by my side. Every day we have here on Earth can be special as long as we have the right people around us. I am so grateful for my family, my friends, my boyfriend and for God in allowing me to spread love the way He wants me too for this many years. I'm looking forward to many more birthdays and many more days just spent with the people I love. Even though I wanted pictures I'm grateful I have memories over a picture or two. I'm going to insert a picture of me with my makeup done from Friday night and the only picture I have from my birthday which is my boyfriend and me. I'm still kind of nervous about being 20, I feel like I'm taking a big step and I have to start getting stuff done. In the midst of all of that though I am going to remember to take memories and not ruin moments by pulling out my phone because memories last forever. Thank you to anyone that reads this and wished me a happy birthday and until next time I post, sign up with your emails to be notified when I post and go follow my Instagram for more of my life as well. Much love!
