My Birthday was absolutely... EXCELLENT!!

I had a GREAT birthday yesterday! People often ask me, "Is it different being a year older?" I always say, "Oh, no... Not really." In fact, my big brother often asks me that question every year. We always laugh together, "Hey, you said that last time, hahaha!"

The birthday celebration started out with a trip to Regal Cinemas to see the very NEW and FABULOUS movie out right now called Hancock, and let me tell you, "WOW!" It was "every-bit-of-wonderful" the former viewers claimed! It was THAT good, and if you are looking for a GREAT summer blockbuster, HANCOCK IS THE MOVIE TO SEE, WITHOUT A DOUBT!!

We then ventured on to Cold Stone Creamery to receive a very special free birthday ice cream treat! (That is always fun!) I had the Founder's Favorite ice cream, and I can HONESTLY see why it is, in fact, the "Founder's Favorite"! Yes, it was THAT good! WHOO!

When I arrived home, a package was waiting for me at my door. The box had Korean writing all over it, so I KNEW it was from my best friend, Minsu. Oh, I was SOOO EXCITED! In the box was a fluffy teddy bear (a balloon weight and/or a keepsake gift), a note card with an inspirational scripture on it, a bag of Snicker's Mini treats (mmm... YUM), AND a bag of M&Ms! (Ohhhh yeeeeeah!) To this very second, I am STILL savoring the scrumptious peanuts and caramel from the DELICIOUS Snickers treats! From my family, I received A MULTI-FUNCTION KARAOKE MACHINE (YEEES! LOVE IT! ALWAYS WANTED ONE), a BEAUTIFULLY GORGEOUS American Greeting Card personally for me (oh, how sweet!), a BEAUTIFUL vanilla/buttercream frosted birthday cake, and a LOVELY happy birthday balloon!

Did I have a good birthday? No, not exactly... My birthday was absolutely... EXCELLENT! I could not have asked for more, and I thank God, from the bottom of my heart, for all the beautiful memories of my VERY SPECIAL July 28th, 19th birthday celebration!

THANK YOU FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISHES!!

Hi, everyone! Arielle Jones here, haha, and today... YES... IS MY 19TH BIRTHDAY! Well, I was born sometime after 1:30 PM, so yeah... still in the womb or something like that, but hey...
