Happy Birthday to Me!!

Today I officially turned 24 years old and I had a great day :) This afternoon I went to church and got a few happy birthdays. After church we all gathered in the kitchen to have our snack and my friend Yinna announced that it was my birthday and the people who were there sang me Happy Birthday. I have to say that I was embarrassed and shock I did not know that she was going to do that, but I thought it was a sweet gesture. I am very grateful to have friends like those, they are a great example to me in every way. So after church I had some friends over for dinner and everything turned out wonderful. Lisa and Rachel came by for a little while it was nice to see them. We sat around talking and eating. I opened my presents and I got a lot of shopping to do from my gift cards. This has turned out to be a great birthday I don't want it to end.

Disneyland!!

My friend Kimberly had to work on my birthday so we went to Disneyland on Friday. Her brother works there and could get us in for free. We decided to go to California Adventure first since it closed earlier. The first ride that we went on was Soarin' Over California I like that ride. We headed over to California Screamn' next and I was screaming the entire time. I got the pictures that was taken on the ride. I heard how much fun the Toy Story Midway Mania ride was and they were right it was SO much fun! During the ride we had to shoot stuff for points by pulling the sting on the gun. There were different games that we got to play and knock down it was great. Even though I did not win I still love that ride it is one of my favorites. Next we went over to the Tower of Terror and I freak out on the so much. Kimberly said that I was trying to escape the ride because I was putting my feet on the seat in front of me I could not help it.

After we ate lunch we went over to Disneyland and went on the Pirates of the Caribbean I have not been on that ride since they added the new things to it and I like what they did to it(we went on this ride twice). After we headed over to one of my favorite rides Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I forgot how much fun that ride was I screaming and putting my hands up which I never do. We also rode this one again. We headed over to Fantasyland and did the rides there, the first time we went we did not go on the Perter Pan ride because that ride always has a long wait. After It's a Small World we went over to Toon Town and rode the Roger Rabbit ride and I also love that one too. We headed over to the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters ride and that is not as much fun as the Toy Story ride. You get a gun and you shoot stuff get points but you can spin the ride around. I did not win at that either. We sat down for a bit wondering what we were going to do next and we decided to go into Adventureland. We went on the Jungle Cruise and did that then we went over to Indiana Jones and the ride stopped and we left the line. We got fast passes and decided to go back and ride Big Thunder Mountain. Went back to Indian Jones and waited in line for what seemed like to be forever. After we went back to Fantasyland to ride the Perter Pan ride no matter how long the wait was. We wanted to try to ride the Alice in Wonderland but they were closing Fantasyland for the fireworks. By that time it was so crowded and we were so tired that we decide to go shopping and head home. I ended up getting silver mouse ears and my friend Kimberly bought my a Minnie Mouse stuffed animal that had a balloon that said it was your birthday and when you press her foot it sings that happy birthday song SO COOL. I had such a great time and it was so great that I got to do that for my birthday.

My ticket stub because I am that big of a dork to post it

Painting

This weekend my mom and I painted the bathroom and it turned out great. We used the Behr paint that already had the primer in and it worked pretty well. That paint really cut our painting time down because it was warm but the paint dried fast. I enjoyed painting, but I forgot how much preparing to paint stinks. But I am very happy with the way it turned out and I could have not picked a better color. Some pictures of before and after:

Also this weekend my mom and I have been cleaning getting ready for my birthday party, and we still have more to do. We cleaned to porch today. We took everything off the porch and washed it off and also brushed off the porch. So I guess you can say that we have had a busy weekend and there is still more to do. Next we are going to do the inside which is going to be a lot more work. At least the house would look nice for my party guests it is going to be a fun event.
