Unknown Men in the Bathroom

My birthday always falls during spring break. Which is really fortunate because really, who wants to go to school on their birthday? Luckily, during this spring break unlike blizzarding years in the past, the weather was awesome, so it was a nice birthday gift from God! (I know I've been commenting on the nice weather and all the spring madness, and I know I sound like a flower-child, but I was REALLY ready for winter to be over).

ANYWAY.

Cody has this problem of never remembering my birthday, he does a good job at remembering it's in March, (which don't get me wrong, is a good start! :) but always insists it's on the 17th. Which, to his convenience, was on a Saturday this year. My younger sister was confirmed that Saturday at the 5:30pm mass, and Cody said to meet him behind Rarick Hall around 8:30pm for a "surprise". I had no idea what it was going to be, and he got me good.

When I got there, I called him to let him know I was parked out back. He answered and said that he was having car problems and to just meet him at his house.

When I pulled up, that eager guy was standing outside on the front porch. He lead me downstairs to a spotless basement! (that's right, let it be known there was a time in Cody's life his living room was spotless ). I was mighty impressed! I shared my enthusiasm with Cody and joked that if this was my birthday present, it sure was a great one.

It was about then, Todd came out of his bathroom! Followed by Nate...followed by Brian and Kevin! I was so surprised, and all I could do was do one of my famous laughing/freak outs.

That night was a blast, Nate had baked me a birthday cake complete with "269" candles, and Spiderman Easter eggs. We played some intense rounds of P&A, then went out to get our cowboy on at the Rose.

It was a great birthday, and I was reminded how great my life and the awesome people in my life are.
