Well I'm officially 25 years, 1 week, and 3 days old. Which also means I'm a little late posting this blog. Oh well.
Can you believe it? A quarter of a century old. Crazy!
Although I've been dreading it.. I was also looking forward to getting this picture.
3 generations. Me. My Mom. and My Grandma. 25, 50, and 75 years old.
I had a pretty good birthday week... starting with 2 snow days from work.. which meant I returned to work on my birthday. It's ok though, I got free pizza for lunch. Yum.
Aaron and I braved the snow/ice on the roads and had dinner at Olive Garden. Thanks to my parents for the gift card! He also spoiled me with beautiful cheery flowers.
We even put on the birthday celebration hats for a few photos. (Newton too!)
On Saturday we celebrated with our friends, Hibachi style. I guess Hibachi is my new birthday tradition since this is year # 3 for doing it.
After Hibachi, we headed back to our apartment for cake (Maggie Moo's Oreo Ice Cream Cake... the best!) and Just Dance 2 on the Wii!
It was a wonderful birthday week!
Thanks to all my friends and family who wished me well wishes and celebrated with me. :)
Well it's been one whole year since this picture was taken.. and you better believe we whipped that hat right back out.
and here's his birthday present that he was oh-so-excited about...
It's already half-way destroyed....
I had such a great time during my whole "birthday week". On the Friday before my birthday we had family dinner at one of my new all-time favorite restaurants, Shogun. It wasn't officially a birthday celebration.. but I did get yummy cake and some drum beating and singing.. so I guess that counts. Oh yeah, and I also got a snap shot from a Polaroid camera. :) On Saturday the Mehaffeys took Aaron and I to experience the Loveless Cafe for the first time. It was quite an tasty experience. I really enjoyed the home cooking, especially the mac n' cheese and the yummy peanut butter pie. Then on my birthday Aaron and I went to good 'ole Chili's. I can never get enough of that place. I really do love the chips and salsa and the cajun chicken pasta. I even convinced Aaron to not split the meal that time so that I could have leftovers for work the next day! :) Last, but not least, the following weekend Maggie came to town so we got to celebrate as well. Maggie, Rachel, Mindy, and I (and Maggie's sister and some friends) went and watched Bride Wars. It may be my new all-time favorite chick flick. It was so hilarious.. and I even teared up some as well. I highly recommed it for all you chick flick lovers out there.
present from my WONDERFUL husband. *** the NIKON D60*** I finally got my SLR!! I am so excited about it. I can't wait to figure it all out and go take tons of pictures of fun places and things and of course the upcoming nephew. It's going to be so much fun to play with. I'm planning on going to the classes that Wolf Camera offers in order to understand it a little bit better. I'm ready for it to be warm outside again so I can go take some scenic pictures!!
Family dinner at Shogun, yummy!
Friend dinner at Loveless Cafe, another yummy!
Friend time at the Mehaffey's. Enjoying some yummy birthday cake and a warm fire.
Birthday celebrations at our place. Ice cream cake from Maggie Moo's, yet another yummy!
Bride Wars on Friday Night and Saturday lunch at Cheesecake Factory!
