Birthday- I'm old! (27)

Last Thursday was my birthday but when I arrived back to work on Monday my co-worker had done this to my desk in our new office. So until Thursday I had balloons everywhere!

And a couple little gifts for our new office!!

On my actual birthday I went out to lunch with a group of people from work, which was fun! The plan for that evening was to go to the Liffey with my parents and Bryan but while I was driving home from work I got a pretty bad migrane. I came home and tried to sleep it off but no such luck. Instead Bryan cooked dinner and bought me a little cake, with a candle to blow out and everything! Bryan bought me a lavendar eye pillow thing that you heat up that helps for headaches, and he also bought me the blanket that goes with it! I can't wait to use it this winter!

Then on Sunday we had a little BBQ at my parents and had some friends and family come! It was a great time even though my parents did not have power! The storm on Friday knocked the power out and it was still out on Sunday night!

So all in all it has been a very busy couple weeks, with our office moving, trip to Chicago, Katherine's new arrival and my birthday. I'm beat, I think I need a vacation...

Kat and Adam's new arrival!

The day we arrived back in MN Carrie and I drove to go meet Kat and Adam's new little girl, Anastasia Marian.

Pink bow and all!!

Chicago

I am not going to write much about Chicago, but here is one of my favorite pictures from the whole fun weekend!

Thanks ladies for a great girls weekend!!

*If you'd like to learn more about the weekend to Chicago please refer to Carrie or Janell's blog!

I'm a bad blogger...

The weekend before Chicago I invited Kat, Erin, Rowan, Daylen, Tiff, Brian, Addie and my mom to go to the Como Zoo. We had a blast! Here are some fun pictures from the day!

Rowan and I next to the statue of a gorilla- it was a little too close for comfort for Ro!

Beautiful little Addie


It was a very successful day at the zoo. Everyone had a good time and slept well that night!

Why I love my job...

Today our staff were a little short handed so for a couple hours this afternoon this is what I did:

*Learned how to use a snowcone machine, grinded the ice (which was very theraputic), scooped the cones, and topped them with grape flavored juice.

*But the best part was being able to pass them out to families and patients.

Sometimes I forget what I great job I have, but not today!

Micheal Buble

The picture does speak for itself, don't ya think?

*On Saturday night my sister and I got all dressed up, heels and all and went to the Micheal Buble concert. It was so awesome! I love his music, but was happily surprised with what a good show he puts on. Even more adorable, he called two people up to the stage and the man got down on his knee and proposed! Micheal then ushered them backstage where he had a bottle of wine for them.*

It was a great concert and I would definetly see him in concert again!

For all you Twins fans...
