Birthday Weekend!

My 2011 birthday marked:

1) My first year of married life and living in the U.S. (it's our anniversary next month!)

2) Two moves, one to an apartment in the U.S. and last week, to a townhouse!

3) My first Thanksgiving in the U.S. and Black Friday Sale! Scored a super affordable drafting table from Michael's.

4) My first Christmas with my in-laws and away from my family. But I'm going home twice this year!

And that's all I've got off the top of my head.


And now for my birthday weekend:

A humongous chocolate cake from Costco to kick it off

A delicious dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse (I am now a sweet potato casserole convert) 

and a movie The Adjustment Bureau

Gorgeous flowers from my family delivered by my cousin

A drive down to Half Moon Bay and yummy lunch at the Ritz Carlton

And shopping at the Sears Outlet. We were looking for a Dryer but ended up with a bag of clothes because everything, I literally mean everything was $7 or less. Clothes and shoewise at least.

Now if only I could get this placed cleaned up enough to invite people over for dinner!

I fondly remind Gerard, next month is our first year anniversary. Teeheee!

Today is my sister's birthday too! (I miss celebrating with her.) And if I'm not mistaken, the birth of my new nephew, Lael, as well! Can't wait to meet him!
