{Happy 26th Birthday to me}


It's a few days late....but Happy Birthday to me...My birthday wasn't too exciting this year, which is fine by me, the older I get, the less celebration I want!! And 26 just isn't very exciting, it just sounds OLD!! :) So Saturday was my birthday but I was stuck at work all day. When I finally got off work at 6, Andy and I got ready and headed up to Federal Way to "Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse" for dinner with our friends Keren and Steve and Brie and Mike and their son Jaden. It was DELICIOUS as usual!! That's definitely one of my favorite restaurants. After dinner we decided to check out a movie with Keren and Steve, so we went down to the Supermall theater and saw The Proposal. Which we would all HIGHLY recommend, it was soooo funny!! The guys even enjoyed it and didn't think it was a total chick flick!! So after a late birthday night we headed home and I fell asleep so I could function at work the next day!! :)


Sunday was another fun evening. I got off work a couple hours early so we could head up to Katie and Phil's housewarming party in South Everett. They just bought their first house and got all settled in. The house is very nice and it was so good to visit with them and Dan and Joy since we rarely see them anymore :( One of the down sides of growing up...


Last night was another Birthday celebration for me! My mom and Dean made a delicious dinner of salmon, flank steak and spinach salad. The food was great as was the company. Dean's mom Nancy and her sister Aunt Margaret also joined us. We had a good visit then I blew out my candles, made my wish and opened a couple presents. I'm soo excited to say that I got 2 JoAnn's gift cards and a couple other gift cards as well as cash to spend this year!!! So..I'm gonna have to take myself out on a mini shopping spree :)

I wish we could have chatted for a bit when I ran into at Safeway. (We were in a hurry to get to the inlaws though)

After I passed you, I thought crap!, I forgot to tell her happy birthday!

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope your wish comes true. You deserve it!
