birthday celebrations

so mine and kennys birthday bash was great. i was actually early for once in my life to kennys house, but only because i didnt make it in time to go to dinner with the boyfriend. he was mad at me all night for that too. so many of my AMAZING friends showed up. lets see..the main ones of course, kenny, myself, jenner, danny, davis, and josh. then we got kyla and her friends. the entire household of joes house came. dominique, jennifer and mar mar stopped by. jeanetta made an appearance. marissa came! my favoritest neighbors/family in the world came, taylor, alvin and king. pretty sure i missed some people but thats the run down. i never made it onto the pong table, not even once. i was too occupied with talking to everyone. lol. go figure - put some wine in me and i just talk and talk and talk. speaking of wine though - i had this amazing wine glass that said "birthday bitch" on it and it held an entire bottle of wine. quite amazing. i almost finished two bottles of wine, before it got taken from me at the end of the night. i bought a case of beer also, that i never even touched, nor picked up. so kenny, you finally got your beer that i owed you. haha. i think i ended up leaving around 130. the booski came and picked me up because no one would let me drive, and all i had to drink was some wine, oh and whatever jennifer poured into my wine glass. haha. here's some photo's from the evening.

I was trying to leave but kept taking pictures. lol

Husbandy & I - It was OUR birthdays :)

it's official, im 23

so my birthday was fantastic minus having to work. but i went to dinner with my closest friends, Jenner, Kenny, Danny, Jenn, Bryan, baby Kendra, Kelly, and the boyfriend Josh. We went to O'Charley's in the Falls. I had an amazing steak, it was sooo good. It was the first time Jenner, Kelly and I have all been together at the same time, so we finally got to document all of us having dark hair. Def wont be like this for much longer because Kelly is in stage one of going back to blonde, and i am starting to want my hair lighter again. Overall, the night was great. I love having ALL my friends together, minus Nick because he was a meany and couldnt get off work.

Brunette's ;)

After dinner was over Jenner, Dominique, Kathryn, and I went to BG Breez and to the Valley. Lets just say i was down for the count after we left the Breez all thanks to the ladies. Mainly Neeka, she was buying drink after drink for me. She claims it was pay back from her birthday. Pay back was an understatement. I slept in the car on the way home, Jenner had a photoshoot with me. And lets just say the bathroom floor turned into my bed. And the next day, I dont even have words for the next day. I was so miserable. Definitly the worst hangover I ever had..

Some of the bitches :)

All in all, the night was greattt. Birthday Party Saturdayyy :)

Quotes

So for whatever reason im an insomniac and cannot sleep for anything tonight. so im passing time until i have to actually get up and get ready for class and what not.

one -- Best friends are reason we have empty fridges,dirty rooms, inside jokes, extreme makeovers,true personalities & friendship.

two -- we have the fuck-you attitudes, the party-hard-personalities, and honestly we dont care if we mean a damn thing to you.

three -- Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more. -The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks

four -- the best love is the kind that awakens the soul, and makes us reach for more, that plants fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds and thats what you've given me -The Notebook

five -- i don't know where i'm going, all i know is that i want you to be there standing next to me

six -- you make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed, sing like bird, dizzy in my head

seven -- the feelings i have for you, i cant explain. its the way my heart beats when someone mentions your name.

eight -- send me flowers; kiss me in public; let me know im loved

nine -- You know that feeling where for a split second everything makes sense ? Like the world and your place in it has been all figured out? It only lasts a second, but in that second you become enlightened. Well being with you is like a million of those feelings hitting me all at once... and I won't lose that. I can't loose that, I can't loose you. Maybe to some that's not love, maybe to some it might even be unhealthy and wrong, but not to me. No, to me that's exactly what love is. It's finding someone who makes the world a little less confusing.

ten -- I know that there are some things about yourself that you think you would like to change. But you should know that there's someone out there who's gonna like you for everything you are, including those parts of you that you don't even like. Those are gonna be the things that person likes most.

eleven -- I wanted you to fight for me. I wanted you to say that there was no one else that you could ever be with & that you wanted to be with me.-One Tree Hill

twelve -- Imagine a future moment in your life where all your dreams come true. You know it's the greatest moment of your life and you get to experience it with one person. Who's standing next to you?

thirteen -- The most incredible feeling is knowing that I make you happy.

fourteen -- If we fall in love because someone makes us laugh, what happens when we no longer find them funny? If we fall in love because someone is beautiful, what happens when that beauty fades? If we fall in love because someone can provide for us, what happens when they lose their wealth? Because love defies all reasons. When you truly love someone, you can't just find a reason. You just do.

5 day weekends are amazing

so i had off from work thursday through monday (tomorrow) and can i tell you just how amazing it was. i spent my entire day thursday looking for shoes to wear with my dress for friday. i went everywhere possible. finally found a pair, on sale at that too, at a little store in the hood called tomorrows. and go figure it was the last place i stopped too. but here's the shoes..

they were great, all except the top part kept getting stuck on my dress but i managed. i was soo nervous to go. i didnt like my dress anymore, i had to partake in the events with the boyfriend, i was just all sorts of frustrated. but i went and i had a blast. Josh is Battalion Commander so we got to sit at the head table in front of everyoneee. and we had to walk in seperate from everyone else. all i kept thinking to myself was, "dont fall on your face, lauren." ha Josh probably would of never spoken to me again. but here's the final outcome of myself. Jenner did my hair, well she did the hard part of curling it all. sooo thanks muchhh besst frannn!!

Since we were sitting at the head table, i figured it would be rude to whip my camera out and take pictures, so i didnt. just as the main part of it was over and the dancing and stuff was starting, Josh decided he was ready to go and didnt inform me until we were walking out of the hotel. so since we didnt get to take not one photo together there, i made him take some with me when we got home with my stupid timer on my camera. this was the outcome. haha

Saturday night, Josh and I went to the PBR-Professional Bull Riding Competition (http://www.pbrnow.com/), up in Cleveland at the Q. There were animal rights activists lined up outside holding their signs and what not, didnt quite understand that, but whateverrr. We ended up walking back and forth a couple times before we actually found our seats because the stupid people kept sending us to the wrong entrances. Once we got to our seats everything was good. I had a blast. Never been to one before and I will definitly go back. Boyfriend enjoyed it and he fit in sooo well. haha. A couple of the cowboys got beat up by the bulls, but thats expected. James Otto put on a concert afterwards. It was good. We stayed for half of it, then we left.

Boyyfriend & I

It was definitly one of the best weekends I have had in a while, all thanks to my wonderfullly amazing boyfriend. I finally went to my place of residence today after like 9 days of being at his house. I dont like it, ha. I'd much rather be in his bed right now, and i got nothing accomplished since i came home, and still havent did anything. but im going to bed now. Nighty night everyone

Olympics

So i've never had any care in the world to watch the Olympics, that is until my boyfriend. he likes to bore me with stuff like Nascar & the Olympics. But i actually like to watch the Olympics. I find it amusing when they crash. ha. i have issues, this i know. but just in case you like to watch the Olympics, here's the website to see who is winning what: http://www.vancouver2010.com/

valentine's presents
