Birthday, birthday.

That's right. If you see this blog within the next month you will see that IT"S MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!!! I don't know about you but, birthdays that just get me excited. I mean, I don't really want to get older and I don't really need/want anything for my birthday, but I love birthdays! I love the feeling that I get when I wake up on my birthday and I realize that it's my day! Is that weird? Well, I love it anyways and I'm excited for this wonderful month!

Dun-dun-duh-duh.

That's right. I don't throw around dun's and duh's as if they are useless words; I am singing the wedding march.

A few months ago in November, my best friend since seventh grade Miss Heidi Denton

Starts seriously telling me about this guy that's she's been dating for about 4 months: Mr. Samuel Brubaker

WHAT?!?!

Well about a month after that, Heidi is engaged and they're getting married in April. YES! SO EXCITING!

Aren't they so cute?

Well, this past weekend Heidi and Sam came down from Idaho to take engagement pictures and bridal pictures AND Heidi had her bridal shower which was awesome! She got a ton of things for her home and she got a BOSCH! Yeah, I'm not getting married soon and I'm jealous! Well anyways, after the shower, we kidnapped Heidi and threw her a bachelorette party. Don't worry, I won't go into any detail, but it was really fun and it just made me thankful for my girl friends. We can have fun, but we also support each other. (Which is obviously more important than just having fun.)

Life. What a mess!

Since I have entered the college world, it seems that several discussions (with girls at least) involves marriage, boys, kissing etc. I don't know why I am noticing this now or why it bothers me (besides the obvious fact that I do not have any special guy in my life), but it just seems to come up over and over again. So messy. So confusing. Sometimes I just wish my life was more like this:

Pride and Prejudice

Emma

Sense and Sensibility

I know there is more to life than the petty parties and drama that seem to occur in this time era, but I love it still the same. I love the beautiful romance, the practiced dances and even the social classes. I love how each well scripted character in Austen's books only worries about their own small world. Back then chivalry is still a common, required thing. Now it is an art, unknown to most of the world. Back then people contacted each other through letter (Oh how I would love to write and receive letters like that!) and when they wanted to see each other they rode their horse and buggy into town. Now we communicate through cell phones, texting, facebooking, skyping. Life just seems to be overcrowded with unneeded things. What a lovely, simple world that was. Sometimes I just wish I had the same luxury.
