The Best Birthday EVER

I have to say, this birthday had to have been the best birthday I've ever had.  Even though I'm not really sure what my life will look like over the next year, I am really happy with where I am and the group of friends I have around me.  I am very blessed and so glad I was able to celebrate with some of my favorite people ever.  Brittany planned every part of it and it was wonderful, well I didn't really enjoy the restaurant or the drinks, but the company was great.  We rode the light rail in to uptown and walked to Arpa.  Laci met a new friend along the way.  He walked with us all the way to Arpa, and then proceeded to ask for money.  Our server was in a bad mood and I kept asking him why he was in such a bad mood.  I guess I was pretty hilarious because everyone was laughing at me.  I had a really great night and really loved spending time with my friends.  I was also asked to make a list of 25 things I had learned in my lifetime, and I am going to share them with you...
