A bit of everything!

This is going to be a mixed post, a bit of a couple things that happened, and just some random thoughts.

First off I would like to tell all about my WONDERFUL birthday! So many people made me feel so so special! First off I woke up and started to get up and was in the bathroom brushing my teeth when my roommate came in and said.... "Can you please go back to bed?! How am I supposed to bring you breakfast in bed, when you are in the bathroom? That is not where people eat it!" I must say that is probably the best birthday wish I have ever had! 

This was what she brought in initially.... a mixture of four different cereals covered in syrup!

This was my real breakfast though! She even woke up early to make the muffins from scratch...
Can you say amazing?

 After I went to classes I came home to find this on my bed!     Do I have awesome friends or what?

 I thought my birthday was pretty much over and since it had been so great I was perfectly happy with that! But when I got to FHE I found a wonderful surprise party! How sweet are they?

My "brothers" made these! Aren't they beautiful? and they don't die :)

Then to top off the night I went on a really fun date with an awesome guy! 

So that was my wonderful birthday! I had such an amazing day! I'm not going to lie, I wasn't looking forward to it, I mean I thought that since it was college I really wouldn't do anything, people wouldn't care. We're all so busy with classes and homework. Wow did everyone prove me wrong! Thanks so much to all!

Secondly I would like to discuss walking... It is complicated if anyone hasn't noticed. Sometimes you just want someone to carry you. There is so much to focus on, 

one foot first while you balance on the other. 

Be careful! 

Don't tip over. 

Oops that step was too big. 

Now too small.

Then you think you've got it and suddenly someone says, 

"don't just walk, there are stairs. and sometimes ice. Keep up with the big kids."

Really, how can we be expected to manage it all? Sometimes it just seems like too much. You just want someone to carry you. Without realizing it, you suddenly find yourself on the floor and it didn't feel good getting there.

Well I'm trying to learn to walk again... all the steps are new and there is more to focus on.

I need to buy food. and cook it

don't spend too much money

budget: rent, tuition, ouch.

make friends and be social but don't slack on your grades!

homework.

Sometimes it just feels like it is too much! I wish there was someone who could do it all for me. Someone who knows how to handle all that makes up life and can just tell me how to do it. Take away the thinking part. Then all I would have to do is hold on. 

But you know what? I want to learn to walk on my own! As tough as it is learning, I want to be able to do it all alone. To let go of someone else's hand and march up those stairs by myself!

For now I may have to spend some time crawling... but that's okay by me!

I think the best part of learning to walk is when you start to learn to dance. That is the part when it finally starts to get fun. Maybe i can skip ahead to that part... :)

(Thinking about walking makes me miss my little miss Pyper!)
