25....quarter of a century.....getting old.....

So I had to work today, but that did not take away from my birthday at all. In fact...they made it so much more special. My team decorated my desk, bought me baloons, and got me a crown to wear for the day. And it wasn't just a regular work day. We had management from the corporate office down to announce a new employee recognition program, that I helped kind of put together. So when we got the whole office together, they all sang to me...the....whole....office. Around 150 people all singing to me including the big managers from corporate. Needless to say my face turned so red it literally hurt.

After that we headed off to Cedar. We didn't get to Keith and Donna's until a little later, but Brett's neice, Addie, was there and she insisted that I have a cake and get sung to...again. she even got me a present. It was the sweetest thing ever!
The next morning we met our friends and headed to Crystal to spend the night. It is one of my favorite places, so it was a great way to spend my birthday. We got up to the cabin and decided that we would go up to the lake, because CJ and Lacie wouldn't be spending the night. And when we went up there I caught a wild baby duck! And then it pooped on me ha ha.
And we decided to shoot our pistols a little bit. I decided to try and shoot a goldfish in the pond....and I actually hit it!
The next day we kind of just drove around and did a little exploring in the side by sides with Brooke and Curt. I am so glad that I met these guys. They are such great people and even better friends!

Girls Weekend

This past weekend has been one of the funnest that I have had in a llloooonnngggg time. I had made really good friends at my best friends wedding a few years ago, but life happened and we haven't seen each other since then. So I was ecstatic when I got the text saying we were planning a girls weekend.

Saturday morning we all met at Heather's house to go swimming at her local community pool. We didn't spend much time there, because we had scheduled pedicures for all of us across town. So we grabbed something to eat and headed to our pedi's. I've always been a little weird about people touching my feet, but it was actually really relaxing.

After our pedicures we headed to Sakura, a Japanese steakhouse, for Meili's birthday dinner. We had the hibachi chef and met up with some other friends of Meili's, but then split out again after dinner.

We didn't really have any plans, so we just got in the car and started driving. And we ended up in Mesquite at Club Envy. We got there early enough that we got free admission! There wasn't anyone there besides us, but that is just how we wanted it! Ha ha!
Sunday morning we went to Meili's house so Sheena could do some of our hair and then after we headed to the Black Bear Diner for our going away breakfast.
Don't mind the sideways picture ha ha

Almost three years since I've seen these girls and it was way too long. But it was a great reunion.
