Rob's Ultimate Birthday!

So, I turned 23 on Wednesday the 27th. I am currently in Provo to be with Rachel for the Fall Semester and to work. Money is important, ya know. Before I left for Provo though I spent a little time with my family. They gave me some early gifts. Tiff and Jeff and their family got me a package for my PSP. It had a hard case that carried games and memory cards. That will be nice and useful. Dan and Kim got me a Canon Printer/Scanner/Copier. It's really nice. It has a screen on it that shows the pictures on it. Mom and Dad got me a portable battery that I can use to jump start my car. That's handy, because I've been having tons of crazy car problems lately.
So then I left for Provo with a stop in Holladay to spend the weekend with Rachel and her parents. They got me a cheesecake for my birthday. Here are some pictures!

Rachel's Parents got me a Lord of the Rings book. I've been slowly collecting the series. I plan to read it someday. Not sure when... a long time in the future. It was fun. Rachel's parents were very nice to have a small party for me.
On the day of my birthday, I helped to move Rachel into her new/crappy apartment. We'll make a blog later about our new Residences. Anyway, then Rachel and I went to see the 2nd Chronicles of Narnia movie with Kjirsten and Kayla. They are some of Rachel's old roommates. They're our good friends. It was funny at the beginning of the movie because as we got into the theater it was so dark that we couldn't really even see each other in the blackness. So we were trying to find a place to sit because it was really packed. I went into an aisle and heard a guy say, "Uh... Hey?" That was awkward. Afterwards, the girls and I went to Olive Garden for Dinner! It was really good. I got Apricot Chicken with asperagus. Rachel got Chicken Alfredo. Rachel got me a present as well! It was an external harddrive. I guess that was practical, because we can both use it! Later that night 'the cousins', Kjirsten, Kayla and Natalie came over and we watched X-files. It was a good birthday!
