1 month and 2 days later....

so a month ago, i turned 26. it was with the best intentions that i was going to do a post about that weekend a long time ago, and here i am finally getting around to it! so here i go..it all started on friday, august 1st. Kelsey and I went out to dinner at an Italian place in Gresham, then we tried to go to a movie. When we arrived there, we were hit on by the security guard, and I was thinking..is this part of your job description?!?! So then we proceeded to the counter to get our tickets. We had planned on seeing Get Smart and we found one theater that was still showing it. But when we got up to the counter and I asked for the ticket the girl looked at me like I was a crazy person, it was clear from the expression on her face that I was asking something that was totally out of the question!! So needless to say, we did not see the movie! So we went to Applebee's for desert. It was yummy...then on Saturday I got up and cleaned the house with Kelsey, relaxed and got ready. I met my friends at PF Changs for dinner...it was DELICIOUS!!! and of course, the one I had chosen to go to was the one that was in every news story for Dirty Dining every time you turned on the TV for the previous week! so thank you to all my friends for braving it and going with me, I am glad to say none of us got sick!!! It was a lot of fun and my friends payed for everything..which was not my intention of inviting them..I was very grateful for that!! Then we went to one of my most favorite places...we went to the Karaoke place in Beaverton. And we sang and sang and sang! It was a lot of fun and I still think about that night every time I hear one of the songs we sang on the radio! Then from there we went back to me and Jamie's apartment where we played games and had ice cream. So that brings us to Sunday, my actual birthday! I went to church that morning and worshiped with my East County family and then after church I went to lunch at Red Robin with some of my good friends..it was a lot of fun. And yes, the waiters sang to me and I had the silly little balloons around my chin and all. :) It was fantastic!!
So I packed a lot into one weekend but it was a lot of fun!!I love birthdays and believe you should always have a party and a lot of fun not matter your age!! Here are a few pictures to commemorate the weekend!! Enjoy!
