Day 134, July 2nd

So this weekend is sort of one of those main dish of happiness with a small side of sad weekends.  Today marks one year since the last time I saw Stephanie.  We went to lunch and I helped her pick up some final stuff for her trip to Africa the following Monday.  We usually spent 4th of July together but since it was her last night in the states she had family plans, so Friday was the last day we hung out.  I remember when I left, we stood at the door awkwardly, since we aren't huggers, and both said it didn't seem like it would be that long before we saw each other so this didn't really feel like goodbye, we laughed, I told her I'd call her tomorrow, and then I went on my way.  The next day, Ryan proposed so of course I called her right away and we talked then, and I also had a few conversations with her once she was in Africa, so it's not like this was the last time we talked, but now it's been a whole year since I've seen her face.
So I spent most of the day lying around the house, but finally got up and ready late in the afternoon and went to get my sister's birthday present! We went to Target and Hobby Lobby in Ahwatukee and totally saw Donovan McNabb in Target! Exciting, and nice to see even ballers love Target!!!

After shopping, we headed home to get ready to celebrate my sister's birthday with her friends.  We went to Switch , which was really delicious, and one of my new favs! 
I was excited that Ann invited me to go to her friend celebration, two of her high school friends were coming so I totally felt 6 again, trying to hang with my cool older sister and her cool friends...but this time I got invited!! 
After dinner, we took the lightrail downtown to Majerle's to have a few drinks.  It was a fun night, and so much nicer to just listen to Ann and her friend's stories rather than reading about it in her diary later...just kidding I never did that!! I don't think she had a diary, probably because she knew that I would have read it!!
