Happy Birthday to Jessi...and Erica...and me...and Anthony!

25 years old, can that be possible? I am turning 25 in a week. I know that 25 isn't old, but man time flies! It felt like not that long ago, Jessi and I were volleyball teammates...Now we are celebrating her 25th birthday! I absolutely love birthdays, not just my own but anyones, I love being able to have that one day of the year, when the day is about that person.
This weekend I was able to spend some time with some amazing ladies that I don't have a chance to see that often and celebrating Jessi's 25th birthday! These ladies and I all have something amazing in common. Epsilon Sigma Alpha, our service sorority, that we were involved in at ISU.

Celebrating Jessi's birthday!

We all met up for dinner at one of my favorites, Texas Roadhouse. Delicious! It was great catching up with Sara,  Lisa and Erica! I don't get to see them often, so getting together was extra special! Even Jen came down to celebrate Jessi's birthday. Jessi is a pretty awesome gal, so it was no surprise that when Jessi asked us to dinner, we all came.

After a delicious dinner, we decided to continue our night bowling! Since I am obsessed with taking pictures, I just had to get a picture of all of us with our big balls. Some of us suggested had some interesting places to put the balls, but Todd was tired of waiting for us to figure out how to strategically take the picture so we took a "normal" one. Not to brag or anything, I was pretty awesome bowler in the 2nd-5th grade. Back then I had a mean  curly mullet, that matched my mom's. Thankfully, I no longer sport the mullet.
The first game I came in 4th place with an amazing score of 100, I even beat my husband! I owe it to my amazing teacher Mrs. Runyon back in the day who taught me to shake hands with the pins. I still think of that when I bowl. I know people can spin the ball, but I have not mastered that skills yet, let alone attempted it.
The 2nd game we decided to have some more fun. Each frame we challenged each other to bowl in some crazy way. The first frame was bowling left handed, proud to say I had 3 frames of bowling gutterballs! We stepped it up the next frame by Jen suggesting that we try to bowl between our legs, once again. I failed.
We rolled the ball granny style, and used our opposite foot first
as Corey demonstrates. Overall, we all sucked, but laughed our asses off watching everyone make a fool of themselves, all in the name of a good time.

Jen's idea to start with the opposite foot.
Pretty Awkard pose, as Corey demonstrates.

After our time expired for bowling, we weren't about to spend another $55 dollars for an hour bowling. We decided to go downtown Champaign and see how many people we know. January 16th just happened to be Erica's 25th birthday so we had a drink together! Todd refused to take a picture, the first 5 photos he
"accidently" closed his eyes, or turned his head...so this is all I could get from him.

Having a drink for Erica!

My yaya. 

Ladies, thank you for an amazing time! I don't get out much, but I am glad I got to spend time with all of you! Too many more amazing more years of long last friendships!!!

My Bestie!
