Holy Cow I am already 1/2 way to 50!

Yep, I turned the big 25, its official, I am no longer in my youthful 20's :) I always have liked my birthdays (who doesn't right?) presents, dinner, cake, money sometimes...lots of fun. Brian and my mom are awesome gift givers, I always like what I get and it usually is a surprise too (which I also like). We went out to my favorite restaurant Outback and of course I got the Outback special 6 oz cooked medium with green beans and a sweet potato. (I just thought you would all want to know what I ate on my birthday j/k) Anyways, when Brian got home from school there was a tornado warning and the wind was howling and hail was pouring down so we thought we might have to cancel my birthday plans, but luckily it passed and a beautiful rainbow decided to pop out and wish me a happy birthday!

While the storm was going on I decided to open my presents...I always wait till the end of the day so the suspense lasts longer :) I got a Cricut from my lovely parents-awesome! I have wanted one of these forever because you can make and do so many fun things with them my mom shipped it all the way from Utah. Thanks mom and dad! Brian gave me lessons at the Apple Store because I got some programs for our Mac computer and I can have one on one lessons to learn how to run them for 1 whole year-saweet and he got me what I have wanted since I was pregnant with Alli, a Jogging stroller! I was way suprised! He had it in the garage so I wouldn't see it and it was raining and hailing, but I couldn't wait to see what he had gotten me so I ran outside to the garage just to see what it was, it was well worth it :)

Brian caught me in the act of coming back inside from the storm


Me and Alli I'm still holding out not opening my presents so Brian took a picture instead :)


The sign that I am holding says that my stroller is outside in the garage down below is a picture of what it looks like...


Anywho after we went to dinner with our friends Dave and Steph, Josh and Krystal, Lundon Adrienne & little Benson we went over to Dave and Stephs and she made me cupcakes with candles -thanks Steph-and we played Rock Band-which if you haven't played is very addicting because you want to get a really good score! It was lots of fun and I'm glad we have such great friends to spend our time with when our families are away! Thanks guys for a fun night!

Jammin'...

This is our friend Krystal-thanks for babysitting while Brian and I played :), Alli looks wasted because she was, it was way past her bedtime, but she was a good girl while we jammed to "Beat It" by Michael Jackson and "Eye of the Tiger" :)

Looks like you had a good time. You will have lost of fun with your cricut. I use mine all the time, but I just have the little one. I can't believe you are 25 that makes me feel old. I am glad you had a good B-day.

Happy Birthday! Glad you had such a great day :) I think 25 is still young 20's. At least that's what I tell myself!
