It's my birthday, I came to Earth Day...all wrinkled and PINK!

Yes in deedy, Friday was my birthday. I'm kind of silly about birthdays- I LOVE THEM! And I like to drag out celebrations for days. I'm getting better than I use to be, but I still like to make them special days.
Unfortunately, this one was hard to make really special for most of the day, because Luke was gone, and Tianna and I had nothing to do but run some errands, but don't worry-- Luke made it fabulous after he got home from work and school. And thank you to everyone who called with birthday wishes, it was mucho appreciated!!

We ate dinner at Olive Garden- YUM- and then we saw "Bride Wars" at the theater. I really liked the movie, and although Luke wasn't thrilled about seeing a chicky movie, he enjoyed it too. Tianna sat through it happily and laughed whenever we would. Afterward we had birthday cake and then went to bed. Tianna was so excited to eat "the pancake." Funny tid-bit, we didn't have any regular candles (Man, it's the last year I can even use just ONE box) so my hubby got creative. After all, 23+1 does equal 24!

Luke blew me away with his present this year! While we were eating dinner he pulled out a small, pretty box out of his pocket. I pulled the bow and read that it was from a jewelers. I was so surprised!!! I knew he got me something small in size but I expected something from Kohls or somewhere like that. (which would have been perfectly fine)
He gave me a beautiful heart shaped necklace with 3 small diamonds one one side. Despite my best efforts I could not get a good picture of it. But its beautiful and I want to thank my sweetheart for it. I love love love it, honey! Thank you.

I got to drag out my birthday playing a little more on Saturday. I went to lunch with some of my highschool friends and it was soooooo good to see them. Meanwhile, Luke went with my dad to the Gun Show and the South Towne Expo Center. (Conveniently close to the restaurant I was going to) He had a great time with my dad and of course, he didn't walk away empty handed. Let's just say, he now insists that I take the concealed weapons course so that I can use my new little pistol. He's been wanting me to have something to defend myself if I ever needed to and he saw a fantastic deal... so yeah. I now own a gun (?!?!) Never really thought I would but hey. Gotta get 'em before Obama doesn't allow it! hahhaha.
