My Kinda Party!

Saturday night my friend Ali and I went to see Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean for my birthday! It was the best concert I have ever been to! Ali and I both love country music and Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean are two of our favorite singers. The concert was at the Izod center and the place was packed! There were so many people that seats were open behind the stage. It was crazy how many people were there! Ali and I had AMAZING seats! I absolutely love Luke Bryan and when he came on stage everyone went crazy for him! Ali and I know all the words to almost all his songs, and we knew all the words to the songs he performed. His performance was amazing! He interacted with the audience and was so funny! He even had two guys go on stage for a dance off! The entire audience was singing with him! Jason Aldean was just as good! Everyone was standing, singing, and dancing the entire time! The night was perfect! We did not want it to end! I had so much fun and can't wait to see them again!

Birthday Surprises!

Sunday was my birthday! I spent the day with my grandparents and had lunch with them and then had a delicious home cooked dinner with my family! It was a perfect way to celebrate my birthday! Then some of my friends came home from school and surprised me! They walked into my house and screamed happy birthday! I had no idea they were coming! It was so much fun! They came to have cake with my family. My mom made a homemade cake for me, which by the end of the night was basically gone! It was amazing! They all sang happy birthday to me and we spent the night hanging out and catching up! I loved seeing them since we all have been best friends since elementary school. There are ten of us and we have been best friends for as long as I can remember! I was so happy that I got to see them for my birthday! I miss them already! Now I can't wait for summer so we can all be together again! I got to spend the day with my family and friends, I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate my birthday!

A Day At The Beach!

Wednesday was beautiful out and I was lucky enough to have been down the shore! It was gorgeous! I went down for two days in Atlantic City with my friends to celebrate my 21st birthday! We got lucky that the two days we were there it was so nice out. We spent the day walking on the beach and the boardwalk. People were even swimming in the ocean! We didn't though because the ocean was freezing! As I was standing by the water I did not realize the water was coming up to me and it splashed my feet and bottom of my pants! It was so cold! My friends were all laughing at me! There were so many people out enjoying the beautiful weather! I didn't want to go inside! We were out all day! We shopped on the boardwalk and wrote in the sand with our feet! It was such a fun trip and I can't wait to go back!

Girl's Day Out!

Today my mom surprised me with an early birthday present! We spent the day together at the spa! My birthday is next weekend but she knows how stressed and overwhelmed I have been with the six classes I am taking and all the work I have to do. She wanted to take me somewhere where I can get away from it all for a little while and just relax. She took me to a spa where one of our good friends work for massages! It was amazing. It helped to relieve a lot of my tension and for that time I did not worry about everything I have to do. It was so relaxing and peaceful, a nice escape from reality. When it was over I felt so much better. I was in such a relaxed state and was happy that I was able to spend the day with my mom. She is always there for me and always puts me first. She knows that I am always pushing myself to achieve my best possible. She felt that I needed a break from it all, and she was right! I have been so stressed that I actually got sick this weekend, so this really helped me. One of the best days we spend together! I loved spending the day with my mom. She is the best mom anyone could ever ask for!

Dr. Seuss Day!

"The more that you read, the more things that you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."

Friday was Dr. Seuss' birthday and I was lucky enough to spend it with the kindergarten class that I am observing in. There were different activities for the day. Each worksheet they completed was connected to Dr. Seuss in some way. There was also three guest readers! A retired principal from their school, the superintendent, and a language arts teacher for older students. Each student was given a hat that looked just like the Cat in the Hat's hat with their name on it. One of the activities they did was decoding a secret message. There a blank for each letter of the words in the message and under each blank was a picture of one of Dr. Seuss' characters. Each character represented a letter. The message that the students figured out was "Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss." Then they completed a word search of the names of different Dr. Seuss characters. The students loved it! At the end of the day they had one more story and the teacher asked me to read it! I was excited that I could take part in their special day and be one of their guest readers! I read one of my favorite Dr. Seuss' books, The Cat in the Hat. The kids had so much fun celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday and so did I!
