So I've had some interesting birthdays in the past. Today I celebrate my 26th birthday. I spent a lot of it on the road. It's construction season, so I ended up getting a bit frustrated. But I got here and now I get to spend the rest of weekend hanging with Ms. Amy.
Dealing with one-lane highways is not the most-memorable of my birthdays. I'll give you a little run down of a few of my birthdays.
-16th- The day after my 16th birthday my dad had to 2 vertebrae fused in neck surgery. Oh, and my friends mostly forgot. (I didn't get my license til 2+ months later. I was one of those kids.)
-18th- I spent my 18th birthday at school. I was there from 7am (for peer tutoring) until 8pm (for newspaper layout). We celebrated with cake and pizza.
-21st- I spent my 21st in Chicago, in and of itself not so weird. The weird part was the fact that I almost spent it alone. I was studying in Chicago for class and everyone else in the class was from around the area and were planning on going home. My professor Katy offered to hang out. Thankfully Erin stuck around and my BFF Anna took the train down from Milwaukee too. :)
-22nd- A little less crazy, but this time my birthday was Mother's Day. (As it is every few years.) I ended up doing dinner with friends. On the ride to the Iowa City restaurant, my buddy Justin decided to call my mother and wish her happy mother's day and thank her for having such a wonderful daughter. (I love my friends.) After telling ghost stories on the way home, Amelia and I had a sleepover in my room :)
-24th- My 24th birthday I spent in Dubuque interviewing for this job. :) After a long, long day of interviewing and then driving home, I came home to find a treasure hunt designed for me. Amy had hidden my birthday gift and then constructed a scavenger hunt with like 4 clues and that led me to letters that I rearrange to find my gift! It was amazing!
So that's a rundown of my birthdays :) In addition, I've taken an AP exam or 2 on my birthday as well.
Hope you all had as great a day as I have.

I'm glad I read this. I forgot why and when I took the Amtrak to Chicago. Have a great weekend.
