Happy Birthday to Me!

Yes, I am 26 years old and am already feeling it in my hip...actually I think my hip is sore because we put a gate up in the kitchen to keep Grant out and after high-stepping over that 50 times a day anyone's hip would be sore (or it's the arthritis :). Once again Ryan made me the Big Fat Chocolate Cake and it was a masterpiece. He takes pride in this yearly baking ritual and I don't think I could have made it better. Thanks Ran, I love you!!

My parents came down for the weekend to visit and watch Grant so we could go out. We went to Carrabbas for dinner (awesome!!!!! I get the same thing every time and love it, it's so delicious!!!) Then, like the exciting couple we are, we hung out at Borders for awhile, looking at cool house and cabin design books and came home to get to bed. This past week I haven't been able to get to bed before 12 most days because of work, going to the temple, and finishing my book so around 10:30 I told Ryan we had to head home. When a baby wakes you up before 7 every morning, staying out late loses it's appeal. It was a fun birthday.

Aww lol! Sounds like the dates we go on. We get some food and then see a movie or go to Barnes & Noble or Target or something. Sometimes I drool over the MAC makeup counter at MacArthur. We're old and boring. But my husband doesn't make me chocolate cake lol. Happy birthday Erin!
