My birthday last week was awesome.\u00a0 Turning 33 isn’t bad at all.\u00a0 In fact, I would hardly notice I’m any older if it weren’t for my “young” husband reminding me that I’m older… at least until August when he joins me at 33!<\/p>\n
It was quite the technological birthday… I got tons and tons of greetings on Facebook<\/a> (gotta love the birthday reminders they give you!), a couple birthday texts, and a techy gift I’ll tell more about later.\u00a0 I got some gorgeous flowers (bottom photo) from my Mom, Dad and Kat.<\/p>\n Brian and I went out to Up The Creek for a yummy fish dinner, and we came back to my long-anticipated birthday cake (recipe here<\/a>) with the kids and his parents.\u00a0 Wednesday evening, Lindsay brought me a piece of tiramisu cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory.\u00a0 YUM!\u00a0 The best gift, though, was the necklace I’ve REALLY wanted from The Vintage Pearl<\/a>.\u00a0 It is just as gorgeous as I’d hoped it would be!\u00a0 Thank you, Brian!!
