my amazing birthday weekend..!

so i had an absolutely AMAZING 19th birthday and am so sad it is all over. Megan flew in thursday night and before our trip to disneyland began. I was so excited to see her!! She made me a great CD for the car that we put in on our way to LA to pick up Lizzie. Thursday night we ate dinner at Grandma Mary and Grandpa Dave's, played Scrabble, went to Ben&Jerry's for some ice cream, and watched Grey's Anatomy. I was recovering from streap throat that I got Wednesday and went to urgent care for. I cannot describe how painful streap throat is. When I was younger and would get sick I would be get tested for streap throat thinking I had it but never did. NOW i KNOW the difference between a cold and the real thing. I couldn't even swallow water without cringing. It was awful. I couldn't sleep, I felt like I was up every hour, and kept getting hot-sweats.
ANYWAYS, friday came and hilary, megan, and i trucked it up to UCLA to pick up Liz. After some navigation issues, Starbucks stop, and two CD's we picked up Liz and headed for the "happiest place on earth" =)
By 1245 all four of us were entered in Disneyland ready for the rides!!
For my birthday dinner we went to dinner at Downtown town disney and I had a yummy pizza. My throat was still feeling if'y so I opted for something soft. Then we went back and I opened presents from the girls and they had a mini birthday cupcake delivered to our hotel room so I could blow a candle out! It was SO cute. After presents we went to a Disney parade on a lake and enjoyed the festivities.
Saturday we did California Adventure by the end of the day we were very tired and had our fill of disney fun! When we were done for the day Hil and Meg headed back to the hotel while Liz and I did shopping! I got a very cute dress/shirt that might have been over priced but it was my birthday splurge ;)
Saturday night we went to dinner at Calente (?) and then went to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It was hilarious!!!! Omgoodness it was very funny. Liz had already seen it but liked it soo much she made us see it too.
We stayed at the Grand Californian and it was amazing! We entered right into the park and I loved it, it was so nice.
Everyone in the parks are always so nice, it truly is the happiest place on earth =) yah!!

Favorite Ride: Soarin' over California or Space Mountain
Biggest Disapointment: It's a small world was under construction!! until holiday season 08 :(
Favorite Part: Getting to spend the whole long weekend with 3 of my favorite people ever!!!
