Guess who turned 80 today? My Dad! Run through of the day, you ask his birthday? Sure!
I was up pretty early, as per unusual day, and enjoyed a cup of coffee while chilling in the living room. Father ended up called and we literally didn’t even talk about anything he just carried the phone around while he was working on different projects and he’d either talk about whatever came into his head or he’d sing a random song. Overall, it was a hilarious 20 minutes and it’s so sweet that my Dad calls me when he’s lonely. He was also the only person to sing me happy 80th birthday yesterday (which is awesome because who really needs to hear that song more than once in the day).
Dad, Mom, and Jon came to campus around 10 and we went to Lake Harriet to walk around the lake. It was a gorgeous day and it felt so nice to enjoy the sunshine and get some exercise. After, we went to lunch at some local burger place, and it was so good I thought Dad and I were going to combust.
By the time my family had dropped me back off at my apartment I had about an hour before Maddy was planning on meeting me. Honestly, I don’t know what I did with that hour….I think I maybe just sat on the floor in the sunshine….I genuinely can’t recall doing anything else. When Maddy arrived we sat and talked for a few hours, and even though I saw her a week ago I still missed her like crazy and enjoyed getting to talk to spend some time with just her.
Erin arrived around 5pm, and after we all chatted for a few hours, because we like to talk and we like each other so naturally we just got on a roll, we headed to Cane’s for dinner (it’s my birthday I can eat whatever I want and I wanted greasy food). Nicole got home around this point and from there on the night was just a giant dance party with Cards Against Humanity and SpeakOut sprinkled in the mix.
Today has been an amazing day, filled with people I love, a beautiful day, and lovely messages from people who couldn’t be here in person. I am incredibly blessed and grateful.
