Happy Birthday, Matt!!

Today is Matt's birthday:)

Matt is a total dreamboat and I can't even wait to marry him! Here are just a few reasons why... (in no particular order)

1. He can always make me smile:))

2. And he can always make me laugh.

3. He knows the words to my favorite Mariah Carey songs (I hope he doesn't get mad at me for posting that, but I just love it so much!)

4. He looks super handsome in a suit.

5. He is so kind and considerate of others (and me:).

6. He can make so many different styles of glasses look so good. (totally jealous)

7. He makes me feel like I'm funny when I attempt something that's supposed to be a joke.

8. He makes an amaaazing turkey and grilled cheese sandwich.

9. He is such a dedicated and diligent worker.

10. I love being with him so much! No matter what we're doing.

I love you, Matt! Happy Birthday!!

It was my birthday, and it was great.

Monday was my birthday and it really was one of the best birthdays I've had in a while. And I'm going to be cheesy for two seconds and say that it was because I have so many kind and amazing friends and family who took a few seconds out of their day to make it special. Thank you!!!!

My parents got me a new backpack, which I desperately needed! I had been using my previous one since 7th grade and it barely made it through college graduation. Can't wait to put this one to good use in the fall!! And sweet Matt got me an adorable pair of purple keds. I love him:)

Matt and I went swimming, which was soooo nice. It wasn't too hot and it was great to just kind of do nothing for a while:) I then had to go to class, which was a total bummer, but afterwards Matt and I met my family for dinner at a restaurant I found called Michelangelo Ristorante.

It was delicious and I highly recommend it. I, of course, had gnocchi, which was super delicious.

It was a great day and went by too quickly. But it continued a little on Tuesday when I got to work at the UMFA and my co-workers had decorated my little office space! I quite liked it:)

So, now I'm 23 and life is seriously better than ever:))
