Some people have a Birthday- Sarah has a Birthday SPECTACULAR where the events just keep going! Because I'm hard to surprise, my best friend and husband planned a surprise party for me at Mr. Biggs (its like the FunDome in SLC) the weekend before my Bday to throw me off. It worked, and I was totally surprised. We had a good time playing on the bumper cars, rollerblading, mini-golfing, and watching the auditions for "So You Think You Can Dance" TV show. Bri said it best by stating "theres a reason the show isn't called "So you CAN dance". Hahaha. After Mr. Biggs I was taken for another surprise!
Check out the photos below. This is Quinn, Sammy, and I at Living Art Tattoo where I got my present from Quinn... no not matching tats (not THIS year anyway!) but matching best friend ear piercings on the top part of our ears. We are officially tough chicks now...right? Right? (yeah..right!)
For the actual day of my 25th birthday I had to work an 8-hour shift then had a 3 1/2 hour night class. Yeah- a long night! Luckily my sweet hubby delivered a HUGE bouquet of flowers he arranged himself to my work. So pretty!!! It was a little weird taking them to class with me after work, but they made the whole place smell like heavenly roses. And when he picked me up we went for a late fancy dinner out. I think I was asleep before we got home for the night, but it was a great Bday.
The weekend after my Birthday the festivities continued with a night out of Marathon Martini drinking with my best friend. We played table-trivia (and were horrible at it), and enjoyed some good food, good drinks, and great company...despite the crankiest and slowest waitress I've ever seen. (it shouldn't take 30 minutes for a glass of water... and we're still waiting on those straws). The fun didn't end when most places around town were closed due to the late hour- we have a 24 hour Walmart. Yes, you are never to old to cruise Walmart at the wee hours of the morning.
The next morning (well.. afternoon to the rest of the world) another friend took me out for a Bday breakfast that was also delicious! Both of us were beat, so we called it a day after- but we have a late birthday boardgame marathon coming. And I'm going to take her down! (I know you're reading this Hope- so bring it on!)
I still have yet to go birthday bowling with some of the family out here... so the celebrating is still going on. Or is on hold I guess. Anyway, as you can tell its been one heck of a celebration of my quarter of a century of life! WOOHOO!
