My Birthday :)

Hello My Beloved Blog Readers!
I know Ive been totally slacking off of blogging, but yet again Im drowing. We are in "mandatory overtime." at work which results in my having to work a minimum of 48 hours every week :(
That equals very minimum free time for me, but I am making some tonight. There have been several times this week when I thought "Man, I want to blog about that." but I havent had time so Im going to play a little catch up from last week. Im going to tell you about both my birthday celebrations :)

Thursday: It was my 22nd Birthday. (yes, I know Im getting old). My Dad woke me up just to say, "Twenty-two years ago was one of the most special days of my life. I love you. Happy Birthday." I mean is there any more precious way to start off your birthday?! I came down stairs and mom had already left for work, but she had my presents wrapped and on the couch. I decided to wait because I know she like to watch us open them. As far as the day goes, it was pretty normal. I had school and a test to study for. After school I drove home changed and went up to the church. I decided to have a cookout instead of everyone going out to eat :) The party list were my closet friends that live here in Bowling Green/Alvaton/Westmoreland/Franklin: My parents, the Vann Clann(Uncle Bobby, Aunt Diane, Jessica, Mady, Austin(JV's bf) and B), Kanin, Klent, Matt, Micah, Emily, Emma, Caleb, and Sarah Beth and her two kids Julie and Christian. It was a blast. Klent and I(mainly Klent) grilled hamburgers and hot dogs before everyone got there. We did it pot luck style and I told everyone to bring a side dish! We just hung out and chilled for a while. We played basketball with some very intense games of Knock-Out. Once people started to filter out, those of us who were left watched Lion King 1 1/2. I know its corny, right? For my 22nd birthday we played basketball and watch Lion King. It is corny but it was perfect. There was no drama, no complication, no nothings. Just my best friends and I hanging out. It was amazing :)

Saturday was the second part of my celebration. I took the day off so Wade and Allison and my beloved nephews could come up and play. Those boys have my heart. They are all so different, but wonderful. I am head over heels for them. Anyways-Wyatt(the middle one) comes running in and say, "Amy! We were watching Tangled on the way up here in our car! We brought you Tangled too!!" My Sister-in-Law, Allison, said, "Wyatt!! That's her birthday present you werent suppose to tell!" He said, "Its ok. Amy wants to watch it now. She told me so." haha. I love them. My mom cooked the most amazing food ever. We watched some basketball(yea March Madness!), played in the play room, ate ice cream cake, open presents and watch part of Tangled. I love spending time with them. We played super hero, making a band, hide-and-seek, follow the leader, and colored. It's the small things in life. These are the memories that mean the most to me.

I know it doesnt sound spectacular, my birthday plans I mean. But that's me. I like things to be intimate and small. Laid back and with meaning. My birthday may not sound super spectacular to you, but it was perfect for me.

PS: My Little Brother and Mamaw called on my birthday which makes it even better!
