Birthday

Today was my birthday, and a wonderful birthday it was. Thank you to everyone! I'm sure there will be a day when I will want my birthday to be ignored (and yes, I will be one of those people).

The day started off great Brad was kind enough to drive me into work today and pick me up.

When I got home there were these on the counter:

Then Brad took me to my new favorite restaurant, Tsunami for some delicious sushi.

Then as we were about to dig in, Brad whipped out this bad boy, I was so excited I shrieked in the restaurant! I've wanted a camera so bad, we only have Brad's big honk of thing I wanted something to fit in my purse but still took nice pictures. If you know Brad you can believe this: this was the 3rd camera he bought; it took three tries before he got the camera that was up to his par. You may have heard the story about my engagement ring. Before our wedding, I took my engagement ring and wedding band to the jeweler to get re sized and cleaned (it had been 6 months). I gave Alex the ring when he took a look at it and said, "I remember this ring, I remember your fiance, he was very fussy he sent the diamonds back 4 times." FOUR TIMES?!?
When we got home Brad even started the fire place, which is a real treat.

Then of course, I played with my new camera!

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! MUSHY PICTURE AHEAD!

Anyway, the night in a nutshell... it was AWESOME!
