What I did this Week: A Birthday and a Surprise

  This week has been fun, and busy, and surprising. First of all, after what seemed like ages of the most miserable weather conceivable, the sun came out.

 

  Tuesday evening, I babysat my brothers and tried to make chocolate coated popcorn. It was pretty good.

 

  I had not planned on anything happening Wednesday. Then my friend Karissa "happened to be in the area" so she came over in the afternoon. We sat down to lunch and my friend Rachel, who lives in Chicago, walked in the door. I was completely blown away. It was a really fun surprise.

 

  Thursday was my twentieth birthday, and one of my brother's gave me this lovely poster.

 

  Friday, I started the first baby outfit of the year.

 

  Then in the evening, some friends came over and we celebrated my birthday.

 

  After they left, I stayed up with my little brothers and we watched The Fellowship of the Ring, and I cried. And that was my week.
