Birthday Birthday

I'm now 23 years old. It's a weird feeling, but I've enjoyed being 23 so far. God has blessed this year by bringing many new friends into my life that helped me celebrate my birthday, and it's been a busy week.

Thursday I went and got pedicure at the Aveda Institute, worth it but not as relaxing as I had hoped because I'm too short to reach the foot bath and had to sit on the edge of the chair to dip my feet in. My toenails are a pretty shade of green (see below). Then one of my friends from UNC took me out to Red Robin (I had a coupon for a free burger) and a movie. The movie was Dirty Dancing which is my absolute favorite movie of all time and it was playing outside at a local amphitheater for only $3.00. This made a great end to a good birthday.

Friday night most of the girls from UNC hung out together at Nicholle's house (she's one of our classmates) for a cookout and we ended the night by hitting the town. This is truly my first time "hitting the town" and it was interesting. I of course stayed sober, alcohol is not my idea of fun, but I still had a great time because I got to watch people make fun of themselves and I will remember the entire night and it was a way to bond with my fellow classmates. My classmates even paid for me to take this thing called the Raleigh Rickshaw (a man driving a bike that has comfy cart behind it) to get into town since I can't walk very far, and it was fun.
