Birthday Celebrations and Lots of Work!

 Long time no see! Sorry I've disappeared, I've been extremely busy. So how about a recap of the last couple of weeks?

 The past 10 days, I've been celebrating my 22nd birthday! I worked on my actual birthday, so I had to do it on my days off. On the 12th, I celebrated with Jaxy! We went to the gym, went swimming, and she gave me this adorable camera charm. That Friday (the 14th), I went to the hair salon for a cut and to color back to my natural color. The color turned out slightly darker than it should have, but I love it! While I was at the salon, Aaron had to run some errands and returned with my birthday gifts. He bought me a Nook Tablet and a cover for it! I was so excited, I've been wanting one for a while. Aaron liked them so much, he even got one for himself. That night (technically Saturday morning), he took me to Denny's for 3am birthday dinner. Instead of a cake, I got a birthday chocolate hot fudge sundae with oreos.

 During my work week, I've been busy training my friend, Raymond. He got a job at the company I work at and my boss thought it would be a good idea to have him train under me. Since there's only 4 hours of actual training, we spent 8 hours each shift watching things on Netflix. I was able to get some of my other projects going, but couldn't blog while he was around. At least I was able to hang out with him on my birthday!

My Birthday & the Reno trip!

I just got back from my vacation at 10am on Monday, one week went by too quickly! Aaron, Carley, her girlfriend, and I did so much while Aaron and I stayed with them. Lots of driving too, thank goodness we drove there instead of flew. lol Here are lots of pictures!


For starters, my birthday! I woke up to Aaron giving me a bouquet of gorgeous flowers in all colors, he's so sweet.

After that, my sister and I made birthday cupcakes and used the leftover mix for a small birthday cake loaf.

They were angel food cupcakes with chocolate pudding as the "frosting" and rasberries.

After making the cupcakes, Aaron and I made dinner together! It was curry seasoned salmon with noodles and stir fried vegetables. I accidentally put too much ginger into it, but it was great for a first try.

Weekend Recap

 My boyfriend's cat, laying on my magazine. :P

On Thursday, my boyfriend and I went apartment hunting and found a beautiful one bedroom. It's 925 sq. feet / nearly 86 sq. meters, has a decent walk-in closet, built in shelves in the dining room, a nice-sized kitchen, personal laundry room, and lots of storage. We're most likely turning in our applications this week, so I'm hoping we get accepted!

On Friday, it was my mom's 52nd birthday. We had a BBQ with close family and later that night, my sister, her boyfriend and I played in the pouring rain. It never rains here! The cake was good too, chocolate ice cream cake. :)

You can't see the rain, but we're soaked. :P Time stamp's wrong. lol

And now I'm having a Netflix movie marathon and flipping through this month's Vogue. I love how Emma Watson looks!

Now a question for you:

What are you doing this weekend?

Tell me in the comments. :)
