Since Francis’ birthday was on a Thursday and my suitemates and I all had classes, we couldn’t give her the birthday present we were so excited to give her. But, over the weekend we could!

Francis has never had her nails done before. So, we decided to surprise her by taking her to get them done for the first time! We told her that we were going on a little journey at a certain time so that she would be ready to go. Then, we all piled in the car to take Francis on this little “journey.”

When we arrived at the nail salon, Francis was so excited; she covered her face in her hands as if she couldn’t believe it.

Then, we went inside, picked out our colors, and all eight of us were in and out of there in less than an hour! I still can’t get over how fast they were without making any mistakes.

      

After we finished getting pampered, we let Francis choose anywhere she wanted to go to dinner. She had a craving for In ‘N Out…which is my favorite fast food!

 

Then, on the way home we stopped for some birthday ice cream!

We all had such a fun time celebrating Francis’ birthday and I know I can’t wait for the next birthday to roll around! (Which just so happens to be my lovely roommate’s)

Yesterday was my suitemate’s birthday! Everyone in my suite was born between January and July so this was the first birthday we got to celebrate and we were all so excited to throw a little party!!

While the birthday girl was in class, we decorated the suite with streamers and we each wrote her a card to put on the wall!

Then, we all surprised her and sang happy birthday as she came around the corner!

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a birthday party without cake and ice cream!

This morning when I came out of my room to get ready for class I saw that our birthday cards to Francis had been replaced by Thank You notes she had written to each of us.

Francis is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. She says “thank you” about a million times a day…even when she doesn’t need to! She is always leaving us little notes around the suite. And she kicks butt in Tae Kwon Do. I know I’m not the only one who feels lucky to have her in our suite.
