Saturday, as you may know, was Grace's 20th birthday. Abby and I had quite an adventurous day planned for her.
Saturday morning Abby and I drug ourselves out of bed from an exciting night before to make Grace funfetti pancakes with her favorite food, bacon. We brought it to her in bed with her present which included a card. The card stated, "Grace- Get ready for your Great Adventure. Be dressed by 9:40 wearing cool clothes and tennis shoes." This was set up just like a date card from the Bachelor(ette), our favorite show. Grace enjoyed her breakfast, got dressed and we headed out the door. On our way out we met up with our friend Alex who came with us for the ride.
We got in Abby's car, set the GPS for a mystery location and headed on our way. Half way there Grace decided to guess where we were going from her hint in her date card. We went to Six Flags, and met three other friends from freshman year there!

Grace had no idea they were going to be there. Six Flags was a blast until it rained but we had plenty more surprises coming Grace's way. We headed to Wawa for a quick bite and got ready for our 7 o'clock dinner reservation.
The restaurant we went to was Jones, a Steven Starr restaurant serving up some lovely comfort food. In the meantime, there was a surprise party in the works at our friends, Sarah and John's house. As the meal came to a close Abby and I were frantically checking our phones to make sure all of the guests had arrived and everything was set up. We got in the Uber to go "visit Sarah since she couldn't come to dinner." Once we were there, Sarah opened the door and the crowd yelled out a huge "SURPRISE!" Grace was so surprised.

Once everyone said hello and they all settled down we played a little slideshow that Abby and I put together for Grace. Everyone loved it. A little while later we gave Grace her birthday cakes. One was chocolate and the other was made by Abby and I. They were both pretty tasty, especially the chocolate one which I went fork deep into by the end of the night.

The night was so great and went way better than planned! It was so nice to have the entire gang back together for a very special day.
I'd just like to now take a moment to say that I have two of the greatest friends. I wouldn't trade them for the world. Although this year is not over yet it has been quite a ride (haha, get it?) and I wouldn't have had anyone else by my side . Love you two to pieces.
