Today is May 1st which means many things...
First it was our College Life 5K race for Haiti Earthquake Relief! I got up bright and early at 5 AM!! Little confession- I actually am quite a morning person... it takes me about the time to get up out of bed to walk to the bathroom to fully wake up. This is probably because I'm an old fart and go to bed early all the time- blame it on my mom she is the same way and raised me the same :) so yes although I much rather sleeping till 9 AM.. 5 wasn't that terrible. Any-who... I was up at 5 AM to fill ice chests with my lovely friends Katie and Lauren for the race waters. We got up to church by 6 AM and started setting up the madness! People started showing up at 7:30 despite the slight drizzle and chance of rain later on in the morning! We had close to 200 people I'd say come and run/ walk!!! The race started at 8:30 and besides some humorous glitches throughout the morning it was a great success! Mad props to Laura Gassaway the complete MASTERMIND behind this event! I love her heart and her passion to help others who are in need! Haiti watch out because you're getting boat loads of support from College Life in Norman, Oklahoma! Gosh it is AMAZING- we just helped a country that is nearly 2 THOUSAND miles away!! Praise God for his awesomeness and allowing so many people in Norman and around the world to be able to contribute to fundraisers like Haulin for Haiti to support a country in need!!
So yes... moving on :) another thing that is exciting because it is May 1st is that my birthday is in 9 DAYS!!! Wow I have been sooo extremely busy in the past week or so that I haven't realized how soon it is! Two years ago I had a countdown going for like 3 months straight... This year is the big TWO-ONE and it is kinda surreal! I do NOT feel like i'm 21 at all! I guess because I'm not really into partying/ drinking scene that it has never been a big focus for me and since that is the big excitement for being 21 i'm not as pumped as most might be... I'm just excited because it is my birthday :) haha. One big bummer about the day though is that I have a final the morning of my birthday!! Luckily it is over by 10 AM so I'll be golden AND it is the last final I have so after that I'll be D-O-N-E! So yes the plans for the big day.... my good friend Traci is coming in from out of town to spend a few days with me! We are going to go to The Mont- this awesome local Norman restaurant that has yummy (not diet friendly) food! Then I get to go get my key for my new "big girl" apartment! We might move some of my stuff in or go shopping :) then that night a bunch of my friends and I are going out to BJ's restaurants for dinner :) I made dinner kinda early because other people are going to have finals that they need to focus on and I don't want to be a burden to them! So yes the rest of the week I will spend time with Traci and check out lovely little residents from the dorms and continue to move stuff into my apartment!
Reason 3 May is awesome... Friday, May 14th my mom and Scott are coming in to bring my "big stuff" for my apartment up!! I get to celebrate my birthday again with them and hopefully take ENGAGEMENT pictures with Scott :) his favorite! (NOT) haha poor guy hates having his picture taken and he's marrying a photographer! The rest of that weekend I'm going to just spend with them and OH YEA PICK UP MY KITTEN!!!!! yes indeedy! I adopted a precious little kitten last weekend and the shelter is holding him until I move into my apartment (because the dorms don't allow animals)
WOW there are like a billion other reasons why I'm excited for May (probably because it's my birthday month and the best month of the whole year!)
So I think that is all for now...? I need to get back to work on my serigraphy project.. this think is taking far too long but I'm soo excited with how it is turning out. I'll post pictures soon!
Till next time (which will probably be late this week because of all the crazies I've got going on..)
