happy birthday to me

A photo essay for my 35th birthday.

A selfie. I am finally starting to dig this new haircut.


I took the kids in the afternoon to the Olive Garden for my birthday "cake." All we got was dessert. The waitress had Wesley & Laurel sing to me, it was cute.



My girlfriends took me out to Diamond Knot Brew Pub for some rootbeer and a great salmon caesar salad (yayyy) and then KARAOKE!!! Christi, my cool friend who organized it, got me a blinking tiara crown, a chunky necklace, and a prop microphone. I loved it! I felt so special.

I had mommy friends, the standard karaoke crew, and some single adult churchy friends all come. It was awesome!






I think I sung 6 times?? Let's see... Joan Jett "I Love Rock & Roll," All American Rejects "Gives You Hell" (my personal favorite!!!), Barenaked Ladies "One Week" (nailed it!!), John Michael Montgomery "Grundy County Auction" (with Karly), Lisa Loeb "Stay" (first time trying it, and it went well!!!), and John Cougar "Jack & Diane" (with Megan, Rikayla, and Julie). I had a blast. I LOVE karaoke. It was an awesome birthday. This year was quite the year. I have had A LOT of wild things happen to me.

OH! The best part of the day was that I called up a guy from church and asked him on a date and he said YES! Whew. Thanks for not ruining my birthday, cute man.

Allright, well here we go, embarking upon another year on this planet.
