22 years

Tis true, my 22nd birthday has come and past with all celebrations come to an end (unless you still want to make me that cake, Alex, that would be pretty awesome haha). My birthday this year was on a Tuesday and what a blizzardy Tuesday it was. I'm so glad I was able to take the morning off (I worked a Friday morning which gave me a little bit of credit so I chose my bday morning) because I don't think I would have made it to work on time anyways with slippery roads and crazy traffic. I just snuggled in my bed for a while and then took my time getting ready. 

I went to work in the afternoon then I picked up Burns and we went to his house. We hung out for a couple hours and then he took me to Montana's for steaks. Yum!

Delicious!

Burns went to the bathroom and he came back really fast. I mentioned this and he said there was a little kid in there so he didn't want to go. This was typical behaviour for Burns, so I didn't think too much of it, but then I realized he could have told the servers that it was my birthday. I said, "You told them it was my birthday didn't you." He somehow avoided my prying questions and I was pretty sure he had. Then we were finished our food and our server was taking forever to get the bill. I almost thought they weren't going to sing to me. Then Burns pulled out his phone to which I said, "Phone stack much" and then our server comes over and says, "A little birdy told us it's your birthday today!" They brought out a fudge pan cookie and I wore the Montana's moose horns while they sang to me. So awesome.

After all the Montana's peeps were gone, Burns pulled out a present. I was truly surprised by this because I didn't see him bring it in. It was a pair of Lulu Lemon running pants! I'm so excited about them. Thanks so much for the great birthday, Burns!

Burns also said he had a surprise for me on Saturday so I was pretty excited about that. One of the days in between my birthday and Saturday I received this text:

I pretended I was Randi and after I said I went partying, he didn't respond to me for a half an hour. I thought he must have been mad or something so I revealed the joke saying, "I'm just kidding. This isn't Randi. You have the wrong number."
Ernesto then replied with "Lol. Cheers."

On Friday, Lita and I both had the day off, so we went to the mall. Whenever Lita goes to Starbucks they ask her for her name, and they can never get it right. This trip was no exception. She got a frozen pumpkin spice frappuccino which tasted like egg nog. I got the double chocolaty chip frappuccino, which if you haven't had it, you should try it.

I needed a new screen protector and a case for my phone. When I first got my iPhone, I dropped it onto some gravel within the first 2 weeks of having it. I was so mad. It dented the screen...or so I thought. I lifted my screen protector off this past Thursday and turns out my screen wasn't cracked or dented at all! This whole time (a little over a year) I thought it was damaged but just the screen protector was. It was like I had a brand new phone. This is the case I purchased. I love it:

That night Burns revealed what we would be doing the next day. We were going to West Edmonton Mall to the water park! Yay!!!

On the road:

We were so happy that the roads were clear and that people were home at my house to take care of Kobe. A special thank you to Lita for letting him be with you all day :D Burns and I really appreciate it!

In line waiting to go in!

New slides! They were so freakin' awesome!

It was a pretty busy day so we had to wait in line a lot. The new slides with the countdown and the trap door were so scary fun! Every time we got it and it started counting down my heart started to race. With the loop one, I almost didn't make it over the loop haha. It also burned my back a tiny bit because of the friction. I went on the yellow drop one and it killed! Too much friction again! Burns had to pull up my swimsuit really high in the back so that it wouldn't hurt on the slides. Our favourite part was the wave pool. We had such a good time!

After we got out, we were just the biggest pigs on the planet. Exhibit A:

There were two more tacos, tortilla chips with cheese dip, and cinnamon fries in that box. We ate almost all of it. So gross but so, so great.

We walked around the mall a little and Burns serenaded me (when you wish upon a star) on a bridge while he flicked nickels into the water below. Hilarious.

I had such an amazing birthday this year! Thanks so much to all those who were a part of it.
