Happy Birthday To Me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPYY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME :)

So if you haven't noticed today was my birthday! I didn't turn any exciting number (16, 18, or 21) but I sure had an exciting day ^^ So it's my official last year of being a teenager *gasps* I'm getting old! For some reason I was more excited about turning 19 than I was when I turned 16 or 18. This year has had its ups and downs but I sure learned a lot and grew as a person.

Now this is a personal post (if you haven't noticed already) so you can go ahead and skip this post if you want! I'll be posting something about exercise tomorrow~ Anyways I'm going to kind of attempt to summarize what happened today!

So on Tuesday my best friend, Anthony, took me out for dinner at Not Your Average Joe's. I think it's only  found in Massachusetts, but boy you guys are missing out if it is! Anthony actually took me last year for my birthday and it was my first time there and I didn't know what to get so I got the meatloaf. Neither of us expected me to fall in love with this meatloaf because after that it's all I talked about up until now. But I begged him to bring me and that's all I talked about for the last two weeks with anyone who would listen. He even asked me if there was anything else I wanted other than meatloaf and I said no. Eventually I did end up asking for a skin care tool from him (sorry no pictures, it's still being shipped).

The picture above is the meatloaf I ordered. I believe it's called Not Your Average Meatloaf...Which it's not! It has gravy, mashed potatoes, the actual meatloaf, more mashed potatoes, vegetables, and fried onion, with some cheese added in.

I was only able to eat one out of the two they gave me, which is completely fine! I'm so excited that I have leftovers!!!!

We ended up getting desert; even though I was totally full. I think this was some type of chocolate lava cake with ice cream. You guys, it was so tasty!!!!

Anyways, I had an amazing time hanging out with my best friend! So thank you Anthony for treating me out!

Okay so this is how I looked when I went out with my bestie! I know it's weird I have hearts above my head, but I was taking it for tumblr >.<

After the dinner I came home and then at midnight I announced to everyone on tumblr my birthday with a selfie. My friends are so amazing and cute; they ended up sending me messages at midnight. One of the messages was AMAZING and actually made me tear up a bit. It was my from my best friend on tumblr. I am so thankful that I'm able to be friends with these people!

After the cute midnight messages I went to sleep, but when I woke up this morning I had to announce to everyone in the house that it was my birthday. My mom was going to take our exchange student to school then meet my aunt and cousin to exchange some things, so I decided to go with her. We all met up in a parking lot and my aunt gave my mom the items she needed. Afterwards, my mom and I went to go get my donut cake!!!!

When we got back home I was at the kitchen island when my mom came over and gave me part of my present!!!

I love this purse it's so adorable! My mom knows my love for Coach and how I love summer bags so she thought this was perfect for me. I'm so excited to use this when I go on vacation!

My sister ended up taking me out for snack to WildFlour, a vegan (i think) cafe. I got two raw-reo's (oreo's that are healthy?) that are actually still sitting in my fridge.

Right before my family and I went out for dinner, our exchange student wanted to give me a present. It was so sweet and thoughtful of her!!!

I'm honestly so in love with this necklace, and it can go with so many outfits! I don't remember who it's by but I know it's a Korean brand.

This purse is so adorable! I love the tassel-y things at the bottom, it's almost kind of hippy in a way. Lately I've been really into owning different bags so Im glad that I can add this to my collection!

So originally my family was suppose to go to Sienna's (an Italian restaurant) but then we realized that it was SUPER expensive. We ended up going to Apsara Palace; they serve Cambodian, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai food.

I got egg drop soup for an appetizer and I was so surprised with how much they gave me. In the end I gave it to my dad to finish >.<

For the main meal I got General Tso, which I thought was suppose to be hot (as in spicy) but it wasn't :(

Okay so my parents and sister were totally judging me for taking a billion pictures at dinner, but I couldn't help it! Plus I wanted to show you all!!!

After the meal we went back home and we saw some neighbors outside and talked to them for a little while. Then we went back inside to eat the donut cake! Oh my word, Allie's donuts/donut cakes are the yummiest donuts you will have have.

Anthony was suppose to come over after his award show but it got late and so he's going to come over tomorrow. In the end I watched a few episodes of The Blacklist (season 1) with my mom. 

The second part of my gift from my parents was money (I'm saving up for a jawbone). My sister gave me the second season of Elementary (my favorite show) and a really cute card. I got a few other gifts from some other family members but I can't really remember them >.<

Honestly, this was one of the best birthdays I have ever had. I'm so glad I was able to spend it with the people I love and am closest too. I'm also thankful for so much love that was shown to me today! Overall today was amazing and I'm so happy I'm able to share it with you all!
Sorry this was a long post but I'll be back to normal tomorrow (well technically today since it's past midnight).

Thank you again for all the birthday wishes!
