Welp Friday I turned the big 2-2. Every year it's the same, I don't feel any older at all. I suppose it is weird though because I used to look at Seniors and say, "Omg they are so old." Yep that's me now, a 22 year old stuck in a Sophomore body. 

It was a glorious day. People went out of their way to make me feel loved. It was so special. This was the first birthday I really didn't want or expect anything to be made a huge deal and it was a million times better than all the others before. I am really grateful for Jesus answering my prayers from that week. He worked through people to make me feel ridiculously loved and cherished. So thanks to everyone who contributed to that day because it was the best. 

My favorite picture of the night.

Oreo cupcakes.

So many laughs.

You know me, lovin food.

Look at that face.

P.S.- I found out that September 16th is Mexican Independence day, even cooler. 

Summer playlist.

In honor of Bo's birthday, {Insert singing happy 24th birthday}, I have made the summer playlist!  You can go here if you want to listen to it on Grooveshark. I will say that it's not perfect. 

It has both chill music and music I like to call "hype." 

I just wanted to give Bo a little present for his special day, hope you like it :) 

Here it is on iTunes. This version is more chill. 

Happy listening! 

P.S- this was my study break mom, I promise.

Happy Birthday to you!!

Happy Birthday to YOU,

Happy Birthday to YOU!

Happy Birthday dear Laur Baur,

Happy Birthday to YOU!!!

Today you are 21!

Wanna read 21 reasons why I love you? I know you do...

1. You are my best friend.
2. You are so loyal.
3. You are beautiful.
4. You are hilarious.
5. You love teen novels like me.
6. We named every Disney movie today with "animal companions."
7. You have beautiful brown eyes that do not look like poop even though you say that all the time.
8. You cry with me.
9. You are such a good listener.
10. We have known each other for so long. A decade to be precise. 
11. Everyone thought we wouldn't stay friends in college. How wrong were they?!
12. We have the same personality type. ESFJ's UNITE!!
13. We wear the same size clothes. Great for sharing. And being twins.
14. On the twins note, we like the same food. All food. 
15. We have the same love language :) Quality times are the best times.
16. You are so giving. 
17. You can sleep forever. Weird that I'm bringing this up? No. I love it.
18. You are so supportive.
19. You are so godly. I find myself naturally gravitating to your encouragement.
20. You have the same major as me!! We are the same person geez. {Insert high five/hug here}
21. The last and final thing: Heather described our friendship this morning as unconditional love. I don't know if I've ever seen it the way she was describing us. How we can fight and get annoyed and laugh and cry together but still love each other so deeply. Monday night is the best example, we can literally scream at each other with tears covering our cheeks and still end up embracing. It's funny how I picture our friendship in my head. I know we will always be friends. I know it. If you don't know why, see this post. 

Obviously 21 reasons I love you will never describe the friendship I have with you. You mean so much to me Lauren Marie Christensen. More than I could ever explain through email, texts, phone calls, notes, photobooth videos, wall posts or just words in general. My heart instantly feels fuller around you. 

I love you so much my dearest friend. This special day is YOURS. You rock.

Someday we'll have precious children like this. But for now, let's pretend these happy preshies are us, celebrating YOU :)

21. 21. 21. 21. 21. 21. 21.

Hi my friend. Today I wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I'm so grateful for you my best friend and roommate. I can't believe it's been almost 3 years since I met you in line at Fright Night. Thank goodness for Tri-Delt :) 

I love laughing with you, making funny voices, eating too much, watching movies, crying, talking, spazzing out, screaming taylor swift songs at the top of our lungs, shopping together, vacations (so many), taking pictures, sharing clothes, reading blogs together, braiding your hair and watching you make the same lunch every day haha. There are so many more but most of all I love that you are a leader. I love watching you lead your 50 freshmen in FLO and being such a good example. I love that we share the same ideals. I love that you never give up. I love that you're positive. I love that you always make me laugh. I love that we are complete freaks together. I love that you are my best friend. I love that you always want us to say goodnight before going to sleep. I love sending you pictures on our phones. I love our inside jokes. I love that you share a love for our Jesus. I love talking about deep things.

You are so beautiful Ans. You are so dear to me. So so grateful for you and the friendship we share. 

We'll be friends forever.
