Birthday weekend

Anyway, I thought I would post some happy stuff after my last heavy post. We had a great weekend. Saturday was my birthday and it was a lot of fun. My birthday festivities actually started on Thursday actually when my good friends, Cassie and Joyce, took me out to lunch. Then Friday night I went out with some girls in my ward for dessert/appetizers at Chile's. This was actually just for fun, not really for my birthday, but I got a free dessert anyway. Then Saturday I relaxed and my sister-in-law, Marisha, took me out to lunch. Then TC had a get together here at our house with snacks and cake. It was a great birthday and thanks to everyone who participated and for all the phone calls. TC hooked me up with both World Wide Ward cookbooks-the regular and the Christmas so I am excited to use those. Then my parents got me a very nice present-I am using it right now as I am typing up my post. Apparently, it is my Christmas present too. Then TC forgot to write no presents on my birthday e-mail invite and like everyone brought me something. That was very nice of all of you but totally not expected. I am fine with a hug and a Happy Birthday on my birthday but I totally got hooked up this year! I felt like a kid again. Here are some fun pictures from this past week and weekend. I realized I didn't take very many. Oh well! Guests at the party

Out to lunch with Cassie and Joyce (and Cassie's daughter, Copper)-I love these girls! I love them even more since they got me a David Arculeta c.d. for my birthday. Just kidding!
