two birthdays

let's be real, the star of this picture is my hair.

we might have forgotten to get candles...so we stuck two matches in the cake. haha, it was really classy. and resourceful.

 today i turned 22, and it was my first birthday away from home.  maybe that sounds a little crazy and you're thinking to yourself, "she must not get out much." but the thing is i go to school 1790 miles away from home and i just so happen as to usually be home from christmas time to april. but since i'm trying to graduate asap, i'm at school instead of in ohio.  

so before i flew back out to utah i celebrated my birthday with my awesome parents, mike and georgia, and it was so much fun; they're the coolest parents and i'm glad they put up with me wanting to hang out with them all the time.

the cake was from this awesome bakery in whitehall.  so. good. 

The insanely adorable card kayela sent me. i kind of want to frame it; it's that cute.

birthday swag.

 my actual birthday was so fun, too. i got so many cute texts and voicemails all day from all my favorite people. the text from my dad made me a little weepy! he's so sweet. tonight my adorable roommates made me brownies tonight and they actually bought candles (smart girls) and they were delish.  on friday one of my best college friends kassi is driving up and we're going to see vocal point and eat some chick fil a and hang out so the birthday celebrating isn't over yet! 

bam. birthday brownies.

i know exactly what you're thinking: did a velociraptor egg hatch in our kitchen?

close. so close.

one of our roommates accidently left some eggs boiling on the stove while we all went to a church activity.  when we learned that we would have to do skits me, tasha, and kassi bailed and came home to an apartment that smelled like the reptile house of a zoo.  after a little investigating we discovered that the stovetop had evaporated all of the water the eggs were boiling in and was just burning all the eggs.  one of the eggs was very brave, indiegga jones, we'll call him, and he jumped out of the hot pot and onto the floor.

see that? he really got some air.  bless his heart, his brave attempt was in vain and we discovered him, literally black and blue inside.  my guess is that maybe they were already rotten? it was seriously green and purple inside.

here is a nice little view of the inside of the pot.  just imagine how bad our apartment smells and multiply that times 10. 

anyways, this was hilarious, and we felt like awesome little investigators trying to figure out what exactly happened. 

goodness, it was so ridiculous.
