Only turn 22 once

Being at a school where the end of the spring semester comes in late April definitely has it's pluses. Basically spring break occurs during my birthday which allows me to go home and spend it with my family. Glenn and I headed home to my mom's and enjoyed a couple of days of fun.

Enjoying the birthday...

Friday the 6th:
Had to run some errands with Glenn. Then decided to go to my sister's and surprise my nephew, Jaden, as he got home from school. We arrived a little bit early so we all hung outside (had beautiful weather!) while Jonah played with trucks in the dirt and Liam enjoyed fresh air.

Caught you!



















About to ram trucks














For whatever reason, Jaden stepped off the bus with his head down looking all sad. I yelled to him "cheer up!" and this was the sequence of excitement afterwards. For some reason it went backwards. But you get the idea.


















































After going inside, we played some Wii. Jaden kicked mine and Glenn's butt in Mario Kart. He then challenged Glenn to a tournament for another game. So close but so far, Glenn lost to a 7-year-old. It's okay, maybe next time. After Jonah woke up from his nap, he and Jaden decided Glenn was their new junglegym.

Later that night Glenn and I went to Outback for dinner with my dad. Oh so yummy. They even sang happy birthday to me and brought me a free dessert. :)

Saturday the 7th:
Glenn does a weekly radio show in Lakewood so I went with him to watch. Afterwards we went home and changed to get ready for the big night. My mom was taking us downtown for dinner and then to the Cavs game. But first we celebrated my birthday. Mom had put balloons and a cake on the table. Glenn and her sang happy birthday and I blew out my candles. I opened my gifts from my mom and my brother.

Yay- I have had Oli for a year!



















Picking at the cake :)













Then we jumped in the car and headed downtown. We were going to go to the Hard Rock but the wait was almost an hour. Um...no thanks. We ended up eating at Tower230 which was really good. Afterwards we headed to the Q and found our seats, all the way up in loudville. We enjoyed watching all the pregame stuff especially the players warming up.

Cavs Win!

We are all witnesses













It was a great game and the Cavs beat the Heat!

Upon returning home we had some cake and then I crashed in bed. The next morning Glenn and I went to the Pancake Breakfast that Kiwanis holds every year. After a full belly of french toast and syrup we went back to my mom's to pack and head back to Adrian.
