Things seem to have finally calmed down, or maybe I'm the one that's been calmed. I finally feel like I'm in such a great place. One of my roommates, I will call her Sabrina*, turned...wait for it...twenty-one years old on Friday and we spent the weekend celebrating her big day because, honestly, just having one day to celebrate your birthday just isn't quite enough.
On Thursday we had a roommates' dinner at one of our favorite steakhouses, after dinner Kelly* and I (not-so-secretly) ran out of the house to get cupcake ingredients and decorations for her big day...Sabrina wanted to go to Walmart with us, but we didn't want her to since we were surprising her & decorating her door and other parts of the house.
Kelly and I woke up at 6 on Friday morning and decorated her door with streamers as well as the doorways into the hall and dining room, and we even decorated one of our chairs to be the designated "Birthday Girl Chair." Kelly then made Sabrina some delicious breakfast tacos and after breakfast we made her some chocolate cupcakes for dinner that night. After the cupcakes were done baking, we each went and got ready for dinner. Eventually, Lovebug got into town and we were off to Cheddar's for a celebratory dinner. Sabrina ordered her first legal drink and we just had a dinner filled with laughs and good times. After dinner we came back to our house and sat around talking and enjoying each other's company. Pretty shortly after we got home, two guy-friends of Sabrina's, Alex and Shane, surprised her by coming into town from Austin. We stayed up until 2 a.m. playing a game called Fish Bowl and then Catch Phrase.
Saturday, we spent the day helping Sabrina's parents prepare for the party. Sabrina's dad, brother, and my Lovebug spent most of the day outside by the pit smoking an insane about of ribs while the rest of us were inside either cleaning or (my personal favorite) playing catch phrase. The party came and went and, needless to say, it went off without a hitch. It was great to see how many people had shown up to celebrate one of my best friend's birthdays. After the party, we decided that we would go out to Northgate to "properly" celebrate Sabrina's big day. It really was so much fun.
We didn't get home until about 3 a.m. that night (we had to take the "tourists" to see what Fuego was all about). We made sure that everyone had a place to sleep and then Lovebug and I went to bed. But, we stayed up until about 5:30 talking about the night, life, us, the future, and everything in between. Do you ever have those moments of clarity and realize that you are exactly where you are meant to be? During our conversation I had my moment. If it was possible, I fell even more in love with him this weekend because of how he treated my friends when he knew how much they meant to me. I feel like I hardly got to spend some one on one time with him this weekend because we were both so busy celebrating Sabrina's birthday to focus on us and that was okay with me. It's not always about him and me and our relationship.
It was a weekend for the record books. I loved every second of it because of the people that I shared it with. My friends. My people.
Hope y'all are enjoying this week!
As always,
I love y'all!
