My First Few Days of Being 24

Happy April Fool's Day!! Can you believe it's already April? Nope. Anyways, just want to make a note that I absolutely hate April Fool's. I don't like tricks, pranks, or foolery of any kind. There have been three April Fool's Days I want to quickly share:

April 1, 2006- my dad, the police officer at my high school, and my vice principal all conspired together to make it seem like my car had been stolen from the parking lot.

April 1, 2009- Zach and I were doing long distance at the time. So he left one night to drive from LBK to Galveston and right before he left, I told him to watch out for deer. About 30 minutes later, I get a call from an 806 number (I am Zach's emergency contact) saying that it was an administrator from University Medical Center saying that Zach had been in a car accident with a deer and was on his way to the E.R. So I sped to the E.R. and there was Zach with flowers. Ha. Ha. Ha. sooooo funny.

April 1, 2010- actually a good April Fool's Day, when I got the phone call that I was accepted to Texas Tech School of Law :)

 Anyways, I'm staying inside today and not believing anything anyone says/does to me today.

Thank you Someecards for adequately expressing my feelings of April Fool's Day

So moving on... here's a recap of the past weeks birthday celebrations:

Wednesday was wonderful. A big "thank you" goes out to everyone who called, texted, facebooked, sent cards, and yes, even sang to me during Family Law class. I really felt so very special and it was all because of my sweet family, boyfriend, and friends. I don't know if I mentioned this, but Zach had a big surprise planned for Wednesday night. We went and ate at Manna Bread & Wine in Lubbock and then went and stayed at a bed and breakfast in Lubbock <3. It was so romantic and wonderful. It was honestly the perfect gift. I had been wishing for some sort of vacation with Zach (which is virtually impossible when you're in law school and have no time and no money). I just wanted to get away from life with him for a little while. I had wished to go to the Lubbock B&B a few times before, so it really meant the world to me because it was so thoughtful and sweet that he had listened to what I had wanted and gave me the perfect little "vacation" I could've ever asked for. I'm not normally a big fan of surprises either, but I'm never worried with Zach. He always gets an A+++ when it comes to giving gifts.

The Woodrow House- stay there ANY chance you get

Friday was my mom's birthday and so Mom and Dad came up to celebrate our birthdays together. We went out to eat and then, as usual, went to Louie Louie's Piano Bar. We had such a great time and it was so nice to spend some quality time with the rentals. It rarely happens when we get to spend a whole weekend together, so when it does, I try to take advantage of it.

So that's about it. A big shout out (again) to those who made my and my Mom's birthdays so special. Thank you to my Dad, Zach, Kalin, Cara, and Kasi for making the week/weekend so special. I love you all so very much and feel so very blessed to have you all in my life.

Hope you all have a wonderful week and may NO pranks be pulled on you today <3
