GOLDEN BIRTHDAY!

My GOLDEN birthday was last wednesday. I turned 23 on the 23rd of September. It was more like a birthday week, than just a day. Even though I had a party last year, this birthday definitely topped that one. I had 4 birthday dinners, 3 birthday cakes and a huge cupcake, and a birthday lunch.

Sunday night we had everyone over for dinner at the house. Mom of course made my favorite, Beef Stroganoff, for dinner. She also got me an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen that actually had my name spelled correctly on it :) Emily, Matthew and kids got me haviannas flip flops, which I have been wanting forever! And they were gold, just like my birthday. Thanks Emily!



Monday we had dinner at Chili's on Las Vegas Blvd with Mom, Pop, Emily and I. I don't think we have eaten at Chili's since they closed the one by our house and we used to go there for every birthday. It was so good! They brought me out a chocolate lava cake and sang to me there too. Em and I went to the Belz Outlet mall after and I finally found some shoes for Lindsey's wedding this weekend!


Tuesday night I went to Texas De Brazil with my friend Pranil from school. It is a Brazilian style restaurant where they bring around big sticks with meat on them and shave off pieces for you at your table. They also had a salad bar with tons of food besides salad. It was fun to try something new.


Wednesday, my actual birthday, mom made me pancakes for breakfast. At clinicals, all the techs and one of the doctors signed a card for me and got me a gift card. Then, the other student at my clinical site that goes to UNLV with me, took me out to lunch at the pizza place near our site. He also bought me an ice cream cake which was so delicious! That night I invited about 50 people in my phonebook to come hang out and eat at Cafe Rio with me. About 20-25 people showed up. It was really fun! I got a new hoodie, scrubs, flowers, candles, sunglasses, sand, and money. After dinner I went to see a band play at Beauty Bar on Fremont street with a friend of mine.





Friday, the secretary at my clinical site made me a double layer chocolate cake. She brings cakes in every week, which are really hard to resist. She also makes them for everyone's birthdays and made me mine on Friday since my friend brought the ice cream cake on Wednesday.

My birthday week was seriously so amazing. I was happy all week long! Thank you everyone for the presents and calls. Let's see how 23 treats me!
