Birthday!

Third Trimester, now. Yes!!! (The belly is starting to get in the way, though.)
Now for... My birthday!


I had a most excellent birthday weekend. It started, really, on Thursday when the lovely ladies I work with brought doughnuts and a sweet card to our meeting-thanks guys!




Then, Friday night, Jeff and I got to go to the Melting Pot, where I have been wanting to go forever. It was FABULOUS! We dropped a lot of money there, but even I don't regret it. It was super delicious.





Me with our simmering meats... mmm.
ALL the different kinds of (raw) meat they brought us.



Jeffy with the cheese course.... Yum, yum, yum!




Then, the next morning, we got to have a Sister Breakfast. We've done this a few times before, but it's been awhile. They're my favorite. It was a little rough getting everyone together at the same time, but I very much enjoyed it nonetheless.





Mal, me, Jaimie, Melissa... all with their eyes closed but me!





That night, we went to Spaghetti Mama's with the buddies and then played games at our fabulous new home... They all lasted longer than the birthday girl, though! I turned in first.



THEN, on Sunday, we had family birthday dinner. In our house, the person of honor gets to choose their meal. I chose this super pizza that my dad always raves about from his time living abroad. To say it is deep sich would be an understatement... the photo here is from the SIDE. Yep-it was that tall. And even more amazing to the tongue! Mm, mm. Thanks dad!

Then, the pink and purple marble cake picked out by my niece :) - thanks Stacey! It was delish.
Thanks everyone-it was a super-great weekend! All except for the 25 yr old milestone, that is. But all-in-all, I don't have one thing to complain about from this past year. About a million of my goals and dreams have come true. Here's to one more!

you look so cute with that smoke in your face - pregnancy is well for you. So I want to hear more details about your home. Put up some pictures girl! Oh and I must say that pizza looks like chicharonnes (or pig skins)...I'm glad you had a great birthday!

So, I'd love to say that I'm faster than those people that take two weeks to respond, but...hey, look, there's a stick over there! Anyway, the blog list is one of the page elements that you can add under the Settings tab. If I remember right, it was about halfway down the list. I just looked again, and now they're called Gadgets and it's the first on the list. So check that out, and let me know!
