Birthday Festivities

Last week was my birthday. I'm not one who thrives being the center of attention and so birthday's have never been a huge deal for me. This year's was pretty low key but ended up being lots of fun stretched out over several days. On Tuesday a group of us got together and went out for lunch - thanks again Kim for putting it together! Wednesday morning I had a doctor's appointment and Josh was sweet enough to get the morning off so he could come too and see the 3D ultrasound of our new little one. (After that he had a long day of a facial reconstructive surgery and didn't get home until after 7.) Tienna and I got to hang out and made some yummy waffles complete with strawberries, blueberries, bananas and a some whipping cream for dinner. I think it might have been one of my favorite birthday dinners ever! :) Josh ended up having Thursday and Friday off (his doctor was moving offices) so we had lots of time to hang out, go to the zoo and I even escaped to the library for a study session. Friday night Josh planned our date night by setting up the babysitter and taking me out for some delicious Thai food (I love yellow curry!) and a movie. It was so nice to have a little something each day and spread the birthday fun out over an entire week rather than squish it all into one or two days.

Tienna was fascinated by the giant tortise. It came right up to the fence and was trying to get out in front of us which she loved!

I love this picture - finally a normal, cute, not-too-cheesy smile!

Also, I have to say Josh spoiled me too much - he got me a cricut and a little laminator so I can finally finish some projects that have been hanging around for a while and start some others I've got planned for after I'm done with school. Talk about a sweetie who knows the way to his wife's heart!
