It's True... I'm the BIG 22!!!

Thursday was my birthday. It was a good day. I got up and went to work. When I got to work, my BFF Jessica (a.k.a Hobby- from Matt) had a card waiting for me on my desk. That was pretty much the most exciting part of work. My co-workers all signed a card for me as well that I got towards the end of the work day.

Then, I came home and went to dinner with Matt's family and my sister's family at Texas Roadhouse. It was fun, but the food and service wasn't that great. Matt bought me a cookie cake from GACC so after dinner we went and picked it up and went to Kim's house. I played with Parkie.



Just so you know it was YUMMY!!! I didn't even really eat it until the next morning for breakfast cause I was full from all the bread I ate at Texas Roadhouse.

Matt got me quite a few gifts for my birthday. He bought tickets to my BFF's Jessica's pageant for next weekend. She's competing in the Miss Texas USA pageant. I'm pretty excited to go. We are going to Saturday night's events. He also bought me Peanuts puzzle. It's a picture of Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown and he falls down... Matt says it is representative of our relationship... but I'm not sure what he's talking about. ;) haha. He also got me crayons and a coloring book from the Disney Pixar movie Up. I'm pretty excited. We colored with his niece during church when we went to visit a few weeks ago and it definitely made the time go by faster. haha. I think he loves me!

On Friday, he gave me another present. He bought the last two seasons of REBA for me on DVD!!! Now I have the complete series! Pretty excited about that.

My cousin Holly had a party for me on Friday night. I'll have to post the pictures from that soon, but Kim's still sending me the pictures from it.

Thanks to everyone for remembering my birthday! I got plenty of facebook wall posts, text messages, and phone calls! It was truly a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Vacation Numero Uno

Matt and I had our first vacation this weekend. We went to the Austin area to visit Matt's sister and brother-in-law. They had a baby boy a couple of weeks ago. It took us about 4 hours to get there. Matt's little brothers came with us. We had fun. We didn't go out and do a whole lot, but that was fine by me. I'm used to working on the weekends so it was nice to just stay home. We played games and watched movies. Two of my favorite things. :) I have no pictures to document the weekend, because we forgot the camera. Maybe Heather will send me some so I can post them. It's been nice to have so many days off, but it will be really hard to go back on Wednesday.

Matt's done with summer school. He has this week off and then on Monday he'll start his summer semester. He's glad to have a break, but he feels weird not having anything to study for. I told him he'll get used to that eventually. I'm ready to start reading a new book. I've got to figure out what I want to read though. That's all that's going on in our exciting lives. Hopefully more to come.

1 Year Ago Today...08/08/08

One Year Ago Tonight... Matt and I got engaged!!!

And how did we celebrate our wonderful day? We went to my niece's birthday PARTY!! That's when Matt remembered what day it was and quickly said it to me first so he could win. haha. Then, I went to work and he hung out with his brothers. He brought me McDonald's for dinner though. And then I came home and this is how we look exactly a year later.

Still so HAPPY to TOGETHER!

(Just a little more tired and no make-up on after a long day of work.)
