surprise!

Last weekend Ryan and I went home because my Aunt Wendy was flying in from Texas, so Friday night we were all going to have dinner at my grandma's house. Well, as we pulled off the highway, my other gramma called and asked that we stopped by so she could give me my birthday present. As we pulled into her complex, Ryan goes, "Hey, does your gramma have a clubhouse?" And I'm like, "Well, ya, but it doesn't have a pool or anything." Being used to his random questions, I ignored it for a bit. We drive farther and I point out the clubhouse. "See, Ryan? There is the clubhouse. Oh, and look! Someone is having a party! Wait... that's Justin's car. And wait... THAT'S BEV!" As we pulled past the clubhouse, I looked in the windows at my family and friends who had all gathered for a surprise party for my GRADUATION!!!

I honestly thought everyone had forgotten about my graduation, and I was actually really bummed; I had convinced myself that maybe it was because I had lived so far away from everyone that made them forget.

My family did the best job getting everyone together that I care about and would have wanted there. EVERYONE! Everyone but my Aunt Wendy; the weather kept her in Texas, but I'll get to see her when it's warmer out and she comes to visit.

I left my pictures from that night on my mom's computer in Connecticut, but I'll come back and upload them here when I go home next! It was so wonderful and such a surprise!

On a side note, I am sick of my brown hair. I am SO indecisive about my hair. It's naturally brown, like ugly poop brown. So I've used a box to make it a prettier brown, with like warm tones in it (it said that on the box.. not sure what it means though. But it's pretty). So I'm going back to the golden highlights. My Jennifer Aniston look so my hair finally has depth to it again and isn't so flat!

Now I just need to save up for that salon appointment, since I just side-swiped my neighbor's car and now there are white streaks on his black bumper, and a giant black streak across the passenger side doors. I really am a fabulous driver, aren't I?
