I LOVE BIRTHDAYS. I especially love MY birthday. I start counting down the days until April 15 all the way back in January, and I let everyone I know the exact count every single day. One of the reasons I like my birthday so much is because it's the one day of the year that I feel loved anyone and everyone. You hear from best friends, old friends, family members, bishops, stalkers, missionaries, and random people that don't know you, but are super friendly and they hear other people saying it, so they join in with them. My birthday is a big deal to me. If one of my friends forget that April 15 is the day I was born, I have a hard time not being offended. That is definitely something I need to work on. But in my defense I start the countdown about 100 days prior, so they have a lot of advance warning that its coming. :)
My nineteenth birthday this year was INCREDIBLE. I have never felt more loved, or special ever. I couldn't help but think how blessed I am to have such amazing people in my life. My friends definitely took care of me and made me feel special and loved.
Hayley- Hrob my bff was right in the middle of finals down at BYU so she couldn't be here with me, but she definitely took care of me from three hours away. She sent me two of the funniest birthday cards I have ever encountered. Seriously you would pee your pants if you saw them. They were accompanied by the cutest earrings ever, and a my favorite kind of sucker. She called me later and I have never been happier. I love Hrob, she knows how to make me smile:)
Sarah- My dear Sarah had to be out of town on my special day, but she took good care of me before she left. Her family took me out to Olive Garden for a fabulous dinner. She gave me a super cute pink shirt, and a darling pair of earrings. I also received a wonderful call from her that day.
Bret- My darling Bret came over and played Jenga with me while we reminisced of all the fun we had last semester and laughed our heads off. I miss you Bret!
Garrett the Hippie- Garrett is the best thing that ever happened to USU. He is a legit hippie and I am so glad that I overcame my fear of him and became friends with him. He made me a birthday bracelet made out of hemp, gave me a huge hug, and introduced me to his smoking friends.
Zach Kitty- He came over and visited me, and we played some games, talked, laughed, and he came to cafe rio that night even though he had eaten there for lunch. Now that's true friendship. I received the funniest card ever from him. Thanks husband:)
Michael Zajac- This great kid made me a chalk drawing that said, "Happy Birthday Kinsey Crabb" surrounded by balloons, right outside the entrance of my building.
Alvaro- This kid called me while I was in Walmart and made my cry because I was so happy to hear his voice. I miss Alvaro.
Kylie and Annie- They bought me another cake mix, after Taylor spilt the first one. They hung out with me all night and made me laugh:)
Alex Meadows- He gave us some entertainment by allowing us to forget him at Walmart. He also called me Crab Cakes all day and told me to do whatever I wanted because it was my birthday.
Kylee and Evan- They gave me some fabulous Justin Bieber merchandise and some hilarious cards.
Brent- Took me out to dinner on Wednesday and gave me some candy and a JB poster.
Taylor- Spilt my birthday cake, but made up for it by the great birthday present.
Peine Tree- Michael Peine spent a good part of the day with me. He made sure that I felt special and had a great day. We painted animals magnets, listened to Justin Bieber, hung up my new posters, ate Andie's mints, beat Alex in pool, and he gave me a fabulous birthday present. I got this print that I absolutely loved when we went to an art show. He also teamed up with Tay to give me a JB poster. and of course all of this was accompanied by Andie's mints, and a great card:)
Girls on my floor wished my happy birthday, gave me chocolate and strawberries, left cute cards on my door, and gave hugs all around.
The day started out by waking up to birthday texts from friends and family that couldn't be there with me but wanted me to know that I was loved. I got calls from my parents and siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and friends that were far away. I spent the rest of the day with my amazing friends, eating Cafe Rio, going to Walmart, making cake-twice, and watching The Princess Diaries. I have so many incredible people in my life and I am so grateful for all of them.
Saturday my family came up and we ate amazing food, saw Source Code, went shopping, swam in the pool, ate birthday brownies, opened presents, watched The Food Network, laughed until we cried, attempted to fix Alejandro, and experienced the wonders of Logan. It was the best weekend I could have asked for. Thank you everyone!
