Birthdays call for celebration, and for one high school senior, Joseph Houser, shopping was the perfect way to celebrate! He decided that this year, for his 18th birthday, he needed a little retail therapy with some of his closest friends and loved ones. Joseph said, “After brunch at Keke’s, my friends and I took a trip to the mall where I did some birthday shopping at my favorite stores.” Joseph shared that his girlfriend Maddie Hatfield generously spent over $200 on him for birthday shopping. When asked what his favorite part of the day was he said, “My favorite part was when my girlfriend Maddie surprised me with the opportunity to freestyle with Lil Baby. I love to freestyle. I have been doing it for as long as I can remember and was shocked that my girlfriend was able to come in contact with my idol, even if it was just a short online contact.” Those who know him, know that freestyle has always been something close to his heart. It is evident that this day was ever so special for Joseph and he will cherish it forever.
