Happy Birthday to Me and My Blog!

Today is my 27th birthday and I've decided to start a blog. No, I'm not going through a midlife crisis or anything. I just thought it'd be fun to talk about my life and silly stuff like that. Hence the name of the blog. Also, I'm jealous every time I read Mica and Laura's blogs and that I don't have one! ;)

For my birthday I threw myself a birthday party. I had it on Saturday even though today is my actual birthday. I had some work friends come over, Nate and Heather, Jeremy, and Matt. Also, our next door neighbors, Amy and Ryan came and brought my birthday cake. I felt silly when people were singing happy birthday, but it was nice, so I didn't mind.

Jenna, Dave, and Adelle were able to come down from Edwardsville. We had not met Adelle yet, so it was such a nice birthday present. She was a very good baby and only cried in the picture we took of her with Mom and Dad.

Before the gathering, I was worried no one was going to come over...it wouldn't have been the first time with the TR&A work group! So I was also paranoid everyone would get bored and leave by 10:30. So we had to start playing card games. After some hard thinking (thinking is harder after a few beers)...we decided to play card game golf. It was fun...Nate ended up winning, but I came in second place...not bad for a drunko-princess-birthday-girl, huh?

It was nice to hang out with everyone. We will do it again sometime soon! I'll take more pictures too. I tried to take pictures of people in action, but tried it without the flash so they all turned out blurry.

Tonight, on my actual birthday, Mike took me Lewis and Clark's on Main Street Saint Charles. We were supposed to go to Tony's but didn't realize it was closed on Monday's. Oh well. I had halibut and Mike had mai-mai. Great fish straight from the Mississippi River. Yeah right! It actually was pretty good. We are now talking about having our rehearsal dinner there. We still have a lot of wedding planning to do, but I'll save that for another post!

Thank you for reading my first blog entry. I will try to keep it up and keep everyone updated about the silly stuff that goes on in our lives.
