Birthday

Today is my 23rd birthday...a fairly uneventful one so far, but those who have celebrated with me have made it count :)

Last night about 10 of us went to San Mateo to go bar hopping...it wasn't as crackin as I thought it was going to be, but we had a nice time and had some AWESOME pizza. When Jarrod came to pick me up to head out there I put my bag in the trunk and accidentaly saw my birthday present, which he had yet to wrap. Yay food dehydrator!!! I know it sounds weird, but Im really excited about it. Anyways, we ended up going to two different bars one was called Glow, which was really fun, and the other one I can't remember the name of, and it was more of a pub atmosphere with big comfy booths, a fooze-ball table, and pool tables. Then we went to, I think it was called North Beach Pizza and ordered like, 4 different pizzas, all of which were amazing. After that we called it a night becuase everything was pretty much shutting down :(

Then this morning Jarrod made me a birthday breakfast of french toast and scrambled eggs..he's so sweet :) Then I "opened" my unwrapped present haha and we just layed around for a while...it was kinda nice to just do nothing for a few hours. After chilling for a while Tara dropped me off at home where my awesome parents gave me my birthday/graduation-present-in-one: a Nikon D3000!!! omg, Im so juiced, I have been wanting a nice DSLR for soo long and I finally have one! We're going to have to go to some cool spots to take some nice landscapes :) I can't wait to play around with it!

Of all the birthday wishes, texts, and calls, the one that made me the happiest was when my grandma called me a ffew minutes ago and sang me Happy Birthday. It definitely made me cry. Im just scared that it might be the last time that I hear that. She;s so frail now and the Parkinson's is really making it hard for her to do everyday things. I wish I could have recorded her singing so I could listen to it over and over...Maybe I'll bring my video camera over to her house one of these days and make a video of her so I can watch it in the future and remember her clearly. I wish I had videos of my grandpa. I can't even remember clearly what he looked like. Anyways, my new mission is to record as much of the people I love as possible so that they can always be with me :) So don't get camera shy on me people!!!

As for right now, Im studying for my Human Physiology Midterm that's on Monday and wondering what is going on tonight...so far no news.

Happy Halloween <3

Releif

Today Jarrod had his court date for the fireworks incident...they let him off easy, thank God. I was freaking out all month long. They changed it to an infraction and are charging him a $250 fine. Way less than I was expecting.

Also, he told me that Shelley is doing much better. She is awake and they are probably going to be able to take her off of the breathing machine tomorrow. Thank God for that. It was so hard to see Jarrod and Tara and David and the whole family so upset and hurting and there was nothing that I could do. I'm so glad that she is going to be ok :)

Tonight I took a well deserved and needed break from school at work and went to the movies with Jarrod. We saw Where the Wild Things are...it was weird, but it was good. I, of course, cried at the end. During the previews Jarrod said that he wants to get a mini pot belly pig when we move out. I am totally ok with the piglet part because they are soooo cute, but then they turn into ugly pigs :( I don't know how I feel about the grown up pig part...

hrmm
