My favorite week of the year

I have been so blessed this week.

I love this week of the year so much, but man is it exhausting.

Here is the run-down.

Monday

I enjoyed my last day as a teenager, ate tons of candy and got to email with my two favorite missionaries. I got free dinner for FHE and was totally psyched all day for my birthday.

Tuesday

I turned 20! I marveled at the realization of how freakin' old I was all day.

Am I the only one that actually felt older on their 20th birthday?

That never happens.

But boy, was I blessed this day.

It began the second I woke up and opened my door.

I was greeted by 100 balloons falling right on me and saran wrap blocking me from escaping.

The cutest boys next door; Miles, Brandon and Stetson had but the plastic wrap on my around my door then stuffed the balloons behind. 

It was definitely the best way to wake up on a birthday.

Then my freaking amazing roommate Lizzie took my to lunch at Chili's.

She had to work and wasn't going to be able to come to the dinner later so I got my own little date with her.

It was delicious and we ate so much food and dessert.

Then Peter and Sarah had come to Logan and I got to hang out with them for a while.

It was nice to see them since it had been a while.

Kaydee came up to visit and join the festivities then her, Britt and I went to visit Lizzie at work.

Then we drove around being insane, trying to pick up dates from random strangers,

then driving through campus, announcing to everyone that it was my birthday as loud as I possibly could.

Then, we were joined by the rest of my roommates, a fiance, and neighbor for dinner at the Cuddly Duckling.

Yes, that is a Tangled reference.

No, that's not it's real name.

Yes, it looks just like the one in the movie does.

We got some delicious pizza and enjoyed each others company.

We returned home for a delicious cake made by Brandon with pink icing and polka dots on the inside.

Amazing.

Then my roommates all gave me the best present I could have ever asked for.

Look at that thing! I'm in love with it. 

His name is Chester.

I sleep with him everywhere.

I wish I could take him to class and especially on my mission but I don't think he will fit.
But I love him.

Wednesday
Lizzie and I decided to stay home from class since we had a birthday hangover.
We watched The Pursuit of Happyness.
She had never seen it and I knew she would love it.
I was right.
Then in LDV I had to dance while everyone sang me a jazzy Happy Birthday.
That got awkward.

Thursday
Love day!
This truly is my favorite holiday.
One, because I love pink and EVERYTHING is pink that day.
Second, It always falls during my birthday week! So it's like on ongoing celebration.
I love that.
This year was a little different then the past years. Seeing as my usual Valentines date was a little busy this year.
But that's okay. The sweetheart still sent my flowers.
Pink flowers- my favorite.
And I celebrated throughout the day in different ways.

Then I had rehearsal for LDV which I was a little bummed about but it turned out to be lovely.

The boys all gave us a rose and I got lots of treats and Valentines cards with tattoos.

Then I came home and enjoyed a little romantic dinner with my roommates and a few other visitors.

It was the cutest ever. 

We got all dressed up, turned the lights off, had some sparkling cider and about 100 candles.

It was perfect.

Then I got to go home for the weekend and babysit my brothers and spend some time with Ellen and Jenna.

My brothers were even perfect gentlemen and took me to a birthday, all dressed up.

I am so blessed you guys, so blessed.
