Happy Birthday to Me!

This is just a quick pop in to tell everyone thank you so much for the birthday wishes!!

I worked during the day, and then Trav took me out to Friday's and then bowling (my favorite)! We hit up the arcade again and Trav's high score on the basketball hoop was still there from the last time we were there. After a couple of tries I *finally* beat it!! Only to have him try some more and beat *my* new high score!! Ugh..maybe next time! :)

I want to give a shout out to my cousin Amy Loo...I loved your "Happy Birthday" Grandma used to sing to me every morning, so it was so great to open up your text and hear you singing to me!

I loved it so much..I even made Trav sing Happy Birthday to me last night just before bed. It was absolutely adorable.

Thanks again everyone, for making my day so great!!

Weekend Recap: Random Bits.

Sad that the weekend is over. Definitely looking forward to next weekend! (First camping trip of the year)...if the weather permits. I'm crossing, crossing, crossing, crossing, crossing, crossing my fingers that the weather warms up a little bit! I'd go camping in the rain and wind, but Trav's not a fan...so hopefully the weather starts to improve so we can go!

Friday I came home from work, finished laundry (documenting that because it's the first time in a long time that I've had absolutely no laundry...and it won't last long), raked the garden a little, and watered my little plants :) (I know I haven't posted pictures yet, but I still need to plant a few things so I'm waiting...but, it's coming together!! Wait until my first vegetable grows. You'll see more pictures of a tomato (or cucumber) (or bell pepper) than you ever hoped to see. Promise. We had some friends over, played poker, and hung out. Super fun.

Saturday Trav went out with his Dad for his birthday. (Which is today) Kassi was over visiting, and I'd just bought Guitar Hero 5 so I decided to stay home. Made myself a delicious salad, sat down to take my first bite and got a call from my Grandpa.

"Hey there pal. What are ya doin?"

"Eating a salad, and hangin out with Kass."

"Well dinner will be on the table in a few minutes."

"Oh, well...I'm eating a...okay, be there in a few."

"Well you'll have to come pretty quick. It's pert-near ready."

Click..

He's a man of few words, and never says bye. When he's done, he just hangs up. It's adorable. haha.

So, I put my delicious salad away and went over for dinner. Ended up staying the night, since Trav was out anyway. It was nice to hang out with the Grandparents. Sometimes things get busy and we don't get to see them as often as we'd like.

Came home this morning, gave Trav his presents (Some clothes and Fight Night) I think Fight Night was a mistake. He. Has. Not. Stopped. Playing.
He also plays with his jaw dropped. Makes me fall in love with him all over again.
He *barely* let me fight someone under his "career" but I talked him into it and I won. Thank God.

After brushing my teeth this morning, my neighbors came and knocked on the door. Apparently when I had my water on, water was coming UP in their sink!! After taking out all of the possible pipes and cleaning them out the problem was still there so we called the landlord (thought about how lucky we were to not own this place and have the problem in our hands..although it will be that way soon enough) He came a few hours later. Two hours later, and three trips to Lowe's (poor guy) the problem was fixed!

About 30 minutes before the landlord came over, Trav and I were in our backyard and noticed it started to smell like a fire. Then we could hear crackling and then came the smoke!! It was right on the other side of our neighbors fence so I ran over to their house to let 'em know. We went into their backyard to see what the deal was and there were two little kids (like 7 or 8) on the other side building a little fire pit and burning stuff!! A few minutes later a fire truck, ambulance, and two cops showed up! Hopefully the kids got a scare. That could have been bad.

Trav wanted enchiladas for his birthday dinner, so I made a pasta salad, Spanish rice, and of course, enchiladas! It was a yummy dinner!! They take forfreakingever but they always turn out soo good!!

We played a little guitar hero, some more boxing, ate some cake and ice cream, and now it's time get some sleep!! Today has been busy, busy!! Hope everyone had a good weekend!!

*Heppy Birthday ME!

*Heppy was a typo. It's still early, what can I say? It seems like a fun word to *say though, so we'll go with it.

*Not like I said it enough times to decide it's fun to say, and I know you didn't repeat it a few times too, just to make sure. Who does that??

*I'm done using *'s now.

Yesterday was a great day! First of all I wanted to thank everyone for the birthday wishes! An especially big thanks to those of you (lots!) who texted me early in the morning. See, I'm not a morning person and I don't think that I ever will be...so, yesterday morning, just like the rest, my alarm was going off and I was snoozing. Okay, I won't lie...I have two alarms and they were both going off and I was snoozing both of them at the same time.

Side note--This is a pretty involved task, in case you were wondering. I set the alarms about 20 minutes apart and then have them go off at different times, so basically every 3-4 minutes, something is making noise.

Another side note--My neighbors probably hate me, and Trav isn't a fan but I honestly don't hear them as well as others do. Every morning I make up some crazy way to add the noises to my dream and that way I don't even know they're going off. I've cafefully constructed a way to simply press the snooze button without moving anything except a few fingers.

So anyway, yesterday I not only had two alarms that I was avoiding, I also had all of the texts from you coming in about every 2-3 minutes.

Needless to say, I finally got up. So, thank you :)

I came to work to some pretty rad *new color* sharpies. Boring to some, but very high on my top birthday presents list!

Also, to a cute card, and some convenient post-its in a cute little case to keep in the car, or wherever I want to keep them! (Thanks Jenn!)

Later in the day we had a little cupcake/ice cream party. They were the cutest cupcakes I'd ever seen...they have TONS of flavors and make all sorts of pretty little designs! They're from a place called "So Cupcake" if anyone wants to check em out!

After work I tried to squeeze in a little shopping before Vegas. Me (plus) a *little* bit of shopping (equals)not a good idea. So, I plan to do some more shopping today. After all, I have plenty of time. We leave at 5 in the morning, tomorrow.

On a much more serious note...The next part of my birthday is something I would have never thought/hoped I'd be doing and I'm not quite ready to share exactly what the reason is yet...but I've decided I will share a little because we really need the prayers. At 7 last night, my Grandma had a blessing, because she is sick. Again, not a whole lot of information, but if you could take it and include her in your prayers, it would be sooo appreciated. :)

Then, after that, I went out to eat with Grandma, Grandpa, and Kassi.

It was a wonderful birthday! Thanks again everyone!
