a birthday

Somehow or other, I turned 27 years old.  I truly can't understand how I got so old, but here I am.  It wasn't my best birthday ever, I have to say.  We were staying in my parents' basement at the time.  It was so kind of them to let us stay there, but we are really into having our own space.  So that was stressful.  Then I decided to just be a total raunchy brat when my husband didn't have an exciting plan for every single second of the entire day.  *sigh*  I get grumpy when life is stressful, which is pretty much always.  I wish I weren't that way.

Despite my shortcomings, I was showered with love for my special day, and I really can't complain.

Z took me to lunch at PF Changs on my birthday.  I love that place

Love her face in this one

I really wanted to get my whole family to go to the Melting Pot with me in honor of my birthday, but it is kinda expensive, and that was a deal breaker for some (all?) of them.  I did talk them into going just for dessert, which was delicious.

 Zack's family made me a special birthday dinner at our every other weekly Sunday night dinner with them.  I also got this cake, which was seriously one of the best cakes I have ever eaten in my life.  For realsies.

 As a birthday gift, Michelle, mom, and I went to get a pedicure.  I decided to get Halloween toes.  Sure, it was a month and a half early, but it actually lasted pretty well until Halloween.

Thanks to family and friends who showed my so much love.
