I haven't been on here in years, but I have lots to talk about!
First I will start with Alex's 23rd birthday! How crazy! He is an old man. He should be married by now and at least have one kid hehe..juuust kidding!
Well the weekend was less than fantastic, but ended up being wonderful anyways. I had this whole master plan to make everything happy and exciting for his birthday, and pretty much every plan fell through...BUT we did get to enjoy several days together, so I won't chalk it up to a loss, at all!
So first for his birthday, I wanted to take him hiking up this pretty trail in North Georgia. I spent the day organizing and cleaning his room while he was at practice.. oh wait
ANNOUNCEMENT: ALEX HAS OFFICIALLY MADE THE GEORGIA FOOTBALL TEAM! HE'S NUMBER 23
...Ok continuing.. As I was picking him up, water in tow, his mom called and said she was on her way with his scooter for his birthday. This in turn made us come back home, get in a fight because i was so bummed, and then his mom called and said the scooter wasn't coming because it was broken and they had to send it back. Major failure there..
I was really contemplating how to give alex his present from me, and when my mountain idea was no longer part of the plan, i came up with a new one! I bought alex a shirt he wanted for his bday a while ago and couldnt keep the secret so i gave it to him. Because of that, he didnt expect another gift, especially a really unfortunately expensive gift...SO...I have a video as to how I surprised him with his new Jordan Shoes!
After the shoes, we decided to go out to dinner with some of Alex's favorite friends Justin and John. We had a delicious dinner at LOGANS and a good time was had by all.
That night was followed by a visit to the lake and some yummy pancakes in the morning, but there was one more surprise that even I didnt know about. My aunt KT had recieved a car from her father in law when he passed away and decided to give it to alex. I wish I had a video of the whole thing to show you when he found out, but needless to say, when a 23 year old gets his first car, he is more than excited!
We then decided to drive up to HELEN, GA to spend the day there when Alex got unfortunately sick. He got strep or a cough or something crazy and ended up sitting/sleeping in the car while i walked around for about an hour by myself.. Struggle.
We then went home and spent some time together. OVERALL, it was a success even though it seemed very struggling!
I cant figure out how to put pictures on here now, but when i DO, i WILL. more to come
