My Birthday Party Crasher

After having been living in Calgary (across the country from the rest of my famjam) for a year and a half now, I have been blessed with tons of visitors. And there is nothing I love more than visitors (hint, hint!). At one point, when two groups of visitors overlapped, there were seven (SEVEN!) extra people sleeping in my one-bedroom condo. It was a snuggly night, to say the least.

A certain person, my mother, hadn’t been out to see me at all and was feeling kind of bad about it. I assured her not to worry, she had a lot going on in her own life and that there would never, ever be hard feelings for not coming out to see me. And I truly, honestly meant it.

As many of you know, it was my birthday this past week.  My aunt had asked if she could take me to lunch and of course I wanted to. I got there first, and when she got there she sat down, we made a small talk and she just so happened to see someone she knew, who she ran over and gave a big hug to. “Funny,” I thought to myself. “The restaurant is dead, what a small world that she would see someone she knew.” The hug finished, and as my aunt turned around, there stood …

MY MOM!!!!

“Mom?” I sputtered as I stared at her, not sure if it was real or not. “What are you doing here?” Well, she came to crash my birthday party! That is the most dedicated party guest I had ever seen. We had an amazing visit, although I spent the day in Canmore after my birthday party in a fairly crapulous state.

We had an amazing, relaxing visit and I am SO GLAD she came!

Me & Mom

I had an amazing birthday party that was everything I wanted it to be and more. Thanks to the help of these girls!

Cousin Em, Nat, Me & Mich

My cousin Em is just kind of awesome, Nat is the one who wrote this post and Mich blogs here. She organized a meet-up in July and we have stayed friends because she is so wonderful. True story. Nat is even trying to steal her away from me. (I can’t blame her, I’d probably do the same.)

For those of you who asked about my birthday shoes, they came, and were too big for me I’ll still post a picture soon.

And my top is from H&M, since I know at least one person will be asking!
