SUPER BIRTHDAY! 24 baby!!

WOW! Where do I even begin!? I had THE BEST birthday EVER! So I guess I will begin at the beginning! So I went into work and Ciara (who seriously is amazing! We just became friends like a week ago, and she is such a sweet girl!) had a present waiting for me! She got me SUPER cute jewelry from Forever 21! A little J necklace, earrings, hair clips, and a ring! Then I am sitting at the front just chilling talking to Ciara, and a delivery man walks in with flowers, and he says "for Jessica Hobbs," and Ciara and I both squeal! So exciting! They were from Kim Conger! SOOOO Sweet! I was so happy! Then Lauren came in with a balloon that says "Happy Birthday Princess" So cute!! All day long I was getting happy birthday texts and facebook posts! I seriously felt like the most loved girl in the world! Not that I counted, but 75 friends wished me happy birthday on facebook, and like 20 text or called me! I have THE BEST friends in the world!

So while I'm at work Ciara and I were just facebook stalking because she doesn't have facebook and likes to live vicariously through me, so I was showing her some of my friends. Then Lauren's brings her client up to be rung up, and she kept trying to involve me in the conversation, and was like this is Jessica, it's her birthday today! and I got her that balloon, oh Jessica, this is Bill, he is going scuba diving! Random stuff, and I didn't really think much of it, and then she was like oh doesn't he have great hair? And he did have great hair. Then he left.

When Bill left Lauren was like "he wanted to ask you out SOOOOO bad!" I was like "WHAT?!?! Seriously??" So Ciara Said, "I am going to text him your number right now!" So she did, and later that night while I was at dinner with 17 of my closest friends Bill text me and asked me out. So fast forward to today. We went to the Zoo! It was way fun! We had great conversation, he was seriously the most chivalrous, and sweet. He is a really good guy! He is 22 though, I don't think he's LDS, and he lives in Colorado. BUT it was a way fun date, and after we were done at the zoo, (which we were there for like almost 5 hours! We had such a great time!) he was like "I have something for you in my car." I was like "You do?!?!" and so we went to his car and he pulled out this origami-ish flower thing. It is seriously so cool! I have no idea how to describe it, but it's made of post-it-notes! I'll post a picture, but I love it! It was soooo sweet of him to do that! AND another sweet thing. I told him I love giraffes, so whilst we were walking around we were going to see the tigers again, and we were passing the giraffes, and he was like do you want to stop at the giraffes again? We are right here? So we did, for like a half hour! It was so sweet of him to remember, and do that. :) SO nice!

So back to my actual birthday, I went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, and it was so fun! PLUS I got Mango Key Lime Cheesecake, which I have been waiting for since last year! PERFECT! It was so fun, I just felt so happy, and loved the entire night! I seriously love my birthday! I love my friends, and I love that I get to have another party on Friday! Tangled themed! :) We are doing s'more, a pinata, lanterns, and the movie! :) I LOVE IT! Then some friends came back to my place, and we just talked and hung out. :) SO FUN! I love it!

THEN today after my date I hung out with Cris and Aaron, and Cris totally bough me a larger then life bear! SO SWEET! As we were walking out the checker at Costco totally thought we were dating, and was like "awe! Did you surprise her with that? That is so cute! I have been married 20 years and my husband has never surprised me like that!" haha!!! So funny! We named the bear Bill the bear with great hair. haha. What a fun two days!

SO let's recap...best birthday ever, flowers, balloon, asked on a date, ginormous bear, best friends ever! YUP! chalk it up as a successful birthday!!!! :)
