Entry 15--AKA: "I can't believe vacation is almost over."

I'll try not to just focus on my current adventures in reading. My birthday was so awesome. I tried to keep it low key this year just because I wanted to. I can't believe I'm 27--I'm still wrapping my mind around that number. Thirty is only 3 years away! Yikes. I got everything I wanted. Jason bought me this beautiful ring, not an engagement ring, but I'll take it. My parents bought me this awesome desk that I picked out and a throw rug to put it on. It's great because I can sit at my desk barefoot now and my feet don't freeze. Jason had almost this whole week off with me so we've been staying up late, sleeping in late and drinking beer almost every night. When I'm not reading I'm totally addicted to the Simpson's game on the PS3 and when I'm not playing that I'm playing MarioKart on the Wii.

I didn't have a "birthday party" however Jason made my favorite, Mole chicken enchiladas and Shawna came over because she made me cupcakes, which was totally awesome. We all had dinner together, drank beer and watched South Park. It was such a blast.

I found my housekeys on Tuesday, which was a total relief. I lost them the week before finals and I knew I lost them in the house somewhere but I didn't know where. Jason and I had been playing the "one set of house keys swap" game almost every day since then so I was so glad to find them. Come to find out they were trapped in some plastic wrapping around a bulk package of Kleenex. Weird, I know. I'm just glad I found them.

Inspired by my new desk, which looks great in my little office, I finally unloaded some boxes that have been sitting around my room and I put up some pictures, finally. I guess I'm finally starting to feel at home.

On Thursday my grandma took us both to Thunder Valley Casino, which was great for several reasons. One, my grandma was feeling up to leaving the house, and that's definitely a good sign. Two, Jason had never been there and he enjoyed it. Three, we both got to spend time with her and I think she really likes Jason which is awesome. I'm glad she likes him. Not that I thought she wouldn't, but still, it's nice. It's not the first time she's met him and she's always had good things to say about him but we actually spent time together. It was a lot of fun, too. It was nice to get out of town, even if it was just up to Lincoln.

I think that's it. Tomorrow Jason, Shawna and I are going to ride out bikes on a trail somewhere. I don't know if we have one picked out yet. It should be pretty fun. Sunday Jason is going to make a ton of Mole sauce and we're going to freeze some of it so we can have it for awhile and not have to make it fresh. It takes nearly all day to make because it's so labor intensive.

Really, that's it. I'm tired and I just wanted to unload before I feel like going to bed. I'm finally starting to get tired but not a ton. I'm going to sit in bed and read for awhile before I officially conk out. Here's to reading, summer, and staying up late on a Friday night!
Cheers!
