happy birthday melissa! it's officially january 19th and you are 23 years old! pictures of her birthday party may be seen here. we had a potluck dinner, cake, and board games! parker is board game king. we played hilarium, catch phrase, cranium, and more catch phrase. so much silliness and fun! it was fantastic. hilarium is the most chaotic and wackiest game. i want one. :D it's on my list...right after scene it. anywho...it was so much fun to hang out with the "dorm friends." we only get together once every few months as a group to hang out, eat, rehash funny stories, and catch up. it's really nice. it makes me miss living in lander 8 and being able to walk across, or down, the hall to hang out with all of them. we should definitely try and do this more often.
