My 26th Birthday!


Yesterday was my 26th Birthday. Thanks everyone for all the birthday calls/texts/emails/facebook shout-outs and especially thanks for all the birthday GIFTS!

I hate getting older, but I love presents.

I had a really great day yesterday. I went out to lunch with Michelle Milne (from work), Catherine Lara (from work), Aunt Sue, Aunt Teri, Brittney (cousin), Aunt Nancy, & Uncle Robert. We had Chipotle...YUM.

After work I went out for dinner with Shawn, Kiley, Mom, Dad and G-ma Ford. We went to the Claim Jumper because I love the salad bar there. After dinner, we headed over to Mom and Dad's for cake and present opening!

I was SO SPOILED this year. Shawn and Kiley got me a new Zune (its a touch screen), Love it. They also got me a case for it and a car charger (much needed). It seems like my battery always dies when I'm going to be in the car for a long time. They also got me the movies "Couple's Retreat" and "Pirate Radio". Mom and Dad got me a few shirts/sweaters, some victoria's secret lotions/lip glosses/ and body mist. They also got me a hotel night stay and 1 night babysitting. LOVE IT! Melissa, Mark and Ashton got me 3 shirts (one of which I'm wearing today!) I also got LOTS and LOTS of gift cards from people. I have money now to go to Barnes and Noble, Jamba Juice, Chilis, Pac Sun, and more! I also got some cash from my parents-in-law. I'm going to be using that money to get myself some skins for my kindle and my flip video camera.

SERIOUSLY, I got spoiled. I love my birthday, but not the aging process. Thanks everyone for making my birthday so Special!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!
I had such a great Mother's Day. Shawn always spoils me and mother's day was no exception. We had breakfast at Mom and Dad's and were able to talk to Joe in France. :)
We opened gifts over there too. Shawn got me a Flip Video Camera. I LOVE IT. I have been thinking about getting one for a long time and now, I have one! He also got me a DC Sweatshirt.
Later that night, we had a Mother's Day celebration at Mom and Dads. I decided to take some video of the night just because it's fun to look back 10 years later and see how much everyone has changed.
Annie was taking a picture of G-ma, Dad and Uncle Jim. I decided it was best if I got this on video, and I was right. G-ma's face is priceless.
