Wow April sure has been a lively month and I had a great time. To recap some big events I have had some good moments. I am now 22 years old as of 8 days ago and I sure am enjoying every moment of it so far. I also want to say that I sure am blessed beyond all measure for the awesome people in my life. Ever since Freshman Year I have always been wanting a roommate that I could be close with and even a family that could make me feel like I was family. 2 years later I finally found those and I am also more set with my life than I used to be. I have to say I really can't believe that some things work out later and I sure am glad for it.

To start off a few days before my 22nd Birthday I went on down to Maryland with Preston and Dan. I drove them down and there we chilled at Preston's. During that time I quickly got cat allergies and was just sneezing. That night I took some Benadryll and it knocked me out rather quickly. I fell asleep and it was a great sleep. I also had dreams of Preston and other people in my life which was quite interesting. The next day I went with Preston and Dan to see what they were doing. The big part was they were getting Tattoos. While watching them get the tattoos I realized how interesting it was the tattoo artists were doing work. I started to then to a survey of who has a tattoo and why? Preston and Dan's tattoos were pretty much perfect even though it was scary for me to sometimes watch. After that we went to eat lunch at Taco Bell, went to the DMV, and then to Target. I started to think that Bel Air sure is beautiful and much different than my town. It is also different than the town Messiah is in because of the fact that Messiah is somehow in the middle of nowhere. When we got back home I received so many chats from my family across the Pacific Ocean and in California. It was great chatting with them and as the hours ticked down I was feeling old kind of.

The next day it was my Birthday and I was 22. I woke up to a good surprise though. Preston crawled down the hallway and went to the room I was sleeping in. When he was at the front he turned on the song 22 by Taylor Swift and slid his IPhone through the door and the music started playing. I was half asleep and woke up saying "Where is the music coming from?" Preston then jumped out and said Happy Birthday to me. The day was overall a great day. I did some homework and went outside with Preston and the awesome people. While they played basketball I went out riding his bike and I wore a helmet this time. It was a beautiful day to ride and enjoy the weather. An hour later we did some landscaping and I learned how to clean the pool. Later that same day we went out to eat Chinese Food and I made my speech in which I showed I loved others and my roommates. After dinner we went bowling in which I met Allison and Steph who were Preston's friends from Bel Air. We later went on to eat ice cream and hung out in the parking lots and later their house. It was a great time overall and I had a great day.

The day after my Birthday we went to a Mega Church for Easter which was quite awesome. After that we went on back to Preston's house where we chilled and did some homework. I ended up falling asleep for about half an hour while doing homework but later woke up to go outside to see what was going on. Later, we ate delicious Easter meal and got Easter presents from the Easter bunny. It was the First Easter present I ever had in my entire life and I was happy. First time for everything in life haha. That night we went into bed for the final night and we were not ready to go back to school yet. The next day we woke up and ate good breakfast. Afterwards we packed and drove on back to Messiah in the AM after pictures times. It was a great weekend overall and it felt great to be 22. I sure am blessed to have the best roommates ever alongside Dan who will join the line next year. Also thankful for Preston's family, Bri, Molly, Lauren, Alexis, and a couple other friends.
