birthday moments

I LOVE birthdays. I really like celebrating other's birthdays, but I LOVE celebrating my own. Call me selfish, call me crazy, but it is what is is.

And seeing how everything in life is a competition, I have put together a list of winners of people who participated (or didn't) in my day of birth. For your creativity, you are featured on my high-traffic blog that is visited mostly, if not exclusively, by family members. You're welcome, world.

Birthday tweet that also honored TX: 

6 Mar Beckett Ammons ‏ @Becks07

Happy 22nd Birthday to @lydia_marie10, the only other girl that loves Texas as much as I do. Love you "Claudia".

Birthday Tweet that showed off her new Laredo lingo and was also really thoughtful:

6 Mar Katee Haile ‏ @kateehaile

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SEESTER @lydia_marie10! Have the greatest day! You deserve it! Love you and miss you mucho!

Direct and HAWT bday text:
From good ol Ben, "Happy birthday, hottie."

Birthday txt using my correct name:
From KK- "HAPPY BDAY JOSA"

Birthday txt from KK's Fiance that referenced my Biblical name twin:
"Happy birthday gentile."

Worst birthday buzzkill:

having a Stats test that morning

Most awkward thing about my day of birth:

Not one of my roomates said happy birthday. Not.One.Word.  It's deadly to tell someone happy birthday these days, ya'll.

Sweetest Lunch Surprise that included BBQ
Hannah. Sweet nan planned a little get together with some of my favorites. She is very thoughtful, and was the reason my day turned around! thanks, friend!

Most practical and thoughtful gift:

Shoes for my spring break trip from my mom

Texas loving gift shoutouts to Kristin and Clara (they both win)

For putting up with my crying/laughing/whining/talking about my birthday for the past three months

EVERYONE. 

As one may be able to conclude from the pic full of babes, my pals and I had a wild meal to celebrate me. I cried and told them how much I love them. I'm a sap. A freekin sap.

Love all of you! Thank you for making this birthday so marvelous!

 Go forth and LIVE! and pray you never have to be a part of one of my birthday's...bc you will hear about it for MONTHS. and I won't apologize about it.

xoxo Lyd
