Blissful

Good morning, blog world! Hope everyone woke up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the last week before Christmas this morning!! Of course, being 19, I am patiently awaiting the holiday practically jumping up and down with excitement.

So back to last night! After we baked cookies, my boyfriend left for work and I got ready to celebrate my best friend's birthday. Casey and I have celebrated our birthdays together (since mine is November 23rd and hers is December 17th) every year since we turned 16. This is the first year we've been apart for our birthdays, since Casey goes to King College in Bristol, TN. Casey turned 19 yesterday, and decided she wanted to go to a Japenese steakhouse for her birthday dinner. Only three of us could go to the dinner, but that didn't stop us from having a blast!

 We got to the restaurant around 8:00 for our reservation, but didn't get seated until closer to 9:00. Needless to say, our stomachs were growling and we were hungry! But hey, being super hungry just makes everything taste better, right? Despite the long wait, we had an incredible time at dinner laughing, catching up, and just enjoying the night.

After probably the funniest car ride of my life, we arrived back at Casey's house and the night continued with a game called Quelf. *Side note: If you have never heard of this game, go out and buy it IMMEDIATELY.* Best.game.ever. It is sure to keep you laughing the entire time. My stomach hurt from laughing so much!

 The whole night I could not stop thinking about how blessed I was to have such amazing firiends. There honestly is nothing better in the world than being reunited with best friends and being your crazy, goofy selves. When with best friends, there is no judgement, no hostility, no awkwardness. Friends are a comfort, and a sense of bliss.

Enough sentimental-ness! :) Today will consist of knitting, going to the gym, possibly reading, and crafting!
