Hey baby

Cookies for my valentine.

Flowers for his valentine.

And a fun date a week later.

I miss my pet.

These things really were the coolest. I just asked Chris to find mine. He said he would try. Oh I sure hope he does! Oh, the tamagotchi.

Pay it forward

Or something like that....

So, here's how it works-the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or be lazy and copy and past like I did haha!!). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival or your gift! Please submit in an e-mail or on the comment, your address, if I don't have it already (carolynhirz@gmail.com) :) Remember that only the first 3 comments will receive a gift from me, so be quick!

I love him.

And I feel so lucky to have him.

"It's my party and I'll cry if I want too..."

Only, I don't know why I would. Because I turned 21 today!! That's right...
Happy birthday to me,
happy birthday to me,
happy birthday dear Carrrroooolllyyyyyynn,
happy birthday to me.

It was quite a joyous day, let me tell you what.

Brent and I were reading in bed last night and at midnight he sang me the happy birthday song and he gave me my other present. Since he got me a fancy pants new computer, he got me a fancy pants computer case. It is pretty brown and my computer fits inside so nicely. So, that was at midnight and it was kind of exciting to have a little birthday party right when it became my birthday.

Then, I got to sleep in on this, my day of birth. Now that was just grand. When I woke up, I did have to do some homework which was quite depressing. Ha. Brent made me lunch, what a sweetie he is. Then, I did have to go to class. But, it was only a two hour class instead of one of my three hour classes. Hooray for my birthday being on a Monday!

After class Brent took me to dinner at Red Robin. Thanks for the birthday burger for free, Red Robin! We also took silly pictures because, who doesn't want to do that on their birthday? And, when I have such a cute husband I just have to take pictures of him!
YEAH! I'm 21!!
Thanks for the necklace little brother. I love it!

Is he an alien?

ALSO! I got to ride the escalator! On my 21st birthday! And it's something I chose to do! Yeah, I'm pretty much the coolest 21 year old ever.

Thanks for the coat mom and pop! It's pretty cute, huh?

We came home and Kevin and Stacie came over for CAKE! Brent got me a birthday cake and he wrote on it himself. What a cutie he is! We also played a game of guitar hero world tour and rocked it. Oh! And they got me Save The Last Dance! Love love love that movie! Thanks.

He picked it out all by himself...how great of him!

Deidra came over after she was done with work and she gave the a card with a lady bug on it...she knows me too well. And she gave me my new favorite book! It's called I Like You, and it is adorable. Seriously, amazing. Read it. I dare you. Thanks Deidra! I love you!
Thanks for the birthday everyone! It has been amazing and it feels just grand to turn 21!

Enchilada's and Guitar Hero world tour

On Sunday, Kevin and Stacie came over for dinner and guitar hero. Once again, no pictures...but it was joyous. We had enchilada's and they were quite yummy. We came up with a band name for our most amazing band....Stacie and the Jackirz. Haha....yeah, it's funny. Go ahead and laugh. Well, thanks you two for coming over. And thanks for playing guitar hero with us, I know Brent was getting anxious to play with the whole band!

Girls Night!!!

Saturday night was girls night at Gwen and Meredith's and their roommate Stacey's apartment. It was so joyous! Thanks you two for having us (Me and Deidra) over and thanks for the food! Gwen told me to pick a day and she would make dinner for me. So, I picked Saturday and we had what she called a 'make-shift' girls night. She make calzones, we ate them and they were delicious! We watched a movie about the Florida cheerleader scandal. (Did you ever hear about that?! The fab-5 or whatever they called themselves. I couldn't believe it. It was the most absurd thing. Look it up, I know you want too.) We played Cranium Wow (or Cranium MOM as Meredith calls it....ha!) And of course we gossiped. It was so nice to hang out with girls. AND, they made me a cake and I blew out 21 candles! Thanks thanks thanks a million times. No pictures...I forgot my camara and it was a bummer. But, it was so much fun! You are all the very greatest.
