It's my party... but i wont cry.

What's that? I am 20? Shut the front door. I don't believe you. But, I will believe you when you tell me that I had the best birthday EVER. So normally, my birthday's get overlooked by Christmas. Being 4 days after the Jolly old man comes to visit.. the day of my birth rolls around and my hopes are always so high.. My sweet parents do all they can to make it special, and it usually turns out alright. Not monumental, but a good day. THIS year was different. I tried not to set my hopes too high, but I was looking forward to a date at the Cheesecake factory and whatever else followed... Little did i know.... Cameron had other plans up his sleeve. Here is the story.
As we roll ourselves out of the cheesecake factory we sit in the car waiting for it to defrost. It had been snowing since 4 that afternoon and it was a blizzard. So I decided to give Cameron his Christmas present FINALLY. He opens it, thanks me blah blah blah, then says to me "hey do me a favor and blindfold yourself" I'm like.. excuse me? so I proceed to apply the blindfold over my eyes.. So befuddled and a little nervous. He tells me he is taking me to his favorite spot.. ? Im like. well have i been there before..? No he says, Its not just a place you take just anyone? Am I just anyone? haha i (being the naive, un-observant, air head that i am) literally have... no idea what is going on or where he is taking me.. In my head I am thinking.. Where could he be taking me? What favorite spot? My mom knows about this? WHAT IN THE WORLD. I tried to sit back and relax but my heart was pounding.. and i REALLY had to pee. so we wine, and turn, and drive and arrive. He say's okay, we are going to get out and you are going to get on my back.. (Me: I still have no idea what is going on) we walk then I smell his house and feel the warmth.. Next thing i know the blindfold is gone and i am getting a neverending stream of silly string in my face. Accompanied by a chorus of Jenkins' family "surprise" :)
Was i surprised or what? So many people that i love and adore were there. All my aunts and uncles, friends, family.. everyone. I was so happy, so shocked.. I can't find words to describe. amazing. So Cameron came up with the idea and Cass + Sarah and their hubs were the little elves + Lynnette and Cameron was the cruise director. UHHH i have THE most amazing people in my life..
Here is another story that ties in as well. P.s. if this is boring i am sorry but i have to write it and give some recognition.
SO for a while now cameron has been telling me about how excited he was to give me my christmas/birthday present.. being .. again... oblivious, i had no clue what it could be.. everyone and their dog knew what it was and i still had no idea. so we agreed to exchange gifts on my birthday so at my party I opened mine.. after all that gold wrapping paper was gone, it unveiled a beautiful, amazing, new camera.

I have to take this moment and be a little sappy... None of the people who had to do with these surprises will EVER know how appreciative i am for that. I went to bed the happiest person ever. I was in awe what people who care about me would do for me. I am so blessed and i cannot even ever describe how lucky i feel to have so many wonderful amazing people in my life. I have never felt so loved. I have the best boyfriend anyone could ask for.. I know that's cheesy to write on the internet but i could not have found a better guy. You are the best. My sister, words cant describe. I just want to love you everyday. Sarah face. you are so great as well, and jacob with his paintball happy birthday sign. and everyone else who pitched in. Thank you thank you thank you. You will never ever know how much that it meant to me.
Pictures later?
I love you.

Sam!!! I am so glad your birthday was amazing, you definitely deserve you've had quite the year. Cameron is so sweet and invited me even though he knew I wouldn't be able to come but I so wish I would have been able to! A CAMERA?! That's probably the best present ever, will you take my mission pictures? Hahaha. Can't wait to see pics!
