A Wonderful Birthday Celebration!

I have wonderful friends and feel truly blessed to have such amazing people in my life! After a busy day of work and running errands yesterday I went over to a friends place and relaxed and had fun all night long! We made a delicious punch that I found the recipe for on the Woodchuck cider website. It is as follows:

Woodchuck Cider Punch
2 Quarts lemon sherbet
1 large (2 liter) bottle of ginger ale
11 bottles of woodchuck cider (we used 12 of the raspberry variety)
Lemon slices (to garnish)

Mix it all together and enjoy! We split it between two different containers and in one we added pomegranate vodka. It made it just a tad fruitier but both versions were really good!

We also had a nice bonfire outside. It was cool enough outside that we were able to sit and enjoy the warmth and just hang out and talk. Two of my friends found a pretty sweet bush that was dead somewhere (I think on a neighbors curb) and told me that they were giving it to me as a gift. So I had a special birthday stick/bush. And I got to burn it which looked pretty cool.

It was a very fun night! I sadly had to work this morning despite trying to get it off. It was a stressful 4 hour shift, which turned into a 5 1/4 hour shift. I was technically in charge since my boss was gone and it was just a busy and frustrating morning for me. But I will say it again, I have amazing friends!! One of my coworkers Katlyn dropped by and brought me a plate full of delicious gluten free cupcakes! I mean these were amazing! They have chocolate chips inside of them and made the fact that I was working significantly better. Just look at them, you will want some too!

I have had a few hours to relax and will head into work at Old Navy tonight for 4 hours. The rest of my weekend is up in the air. Hopefully I'll be able to see friends again, and relax a bit before work starts again on Monday. I'm slowly adjusting back into my crazy work schedule and hopefully my body won't rebel against me too much.
