Birthday weekend...

My birthday weekend was awesome! No pics cuz I was too busy, but it was fabulous to get away from the valley and enjoy some cool weather...and RAIN! A little too much road constructions, but hey, what can you do? I was slightly bummed that we couldn't do the horseback riding, but otherwise it was a really great time! I really enjoyed myself and aside from an unfortunate restaurant choice, it couldn't have been better.

Very excited!

I'm totally stoked, and here's why: It's my birthday in about a week. Of course, this is not the reason for my excitement, simply the vehicle for it. Here's the plan:

Friday (16th): Tucson with the family. Gonna see a movie with as much of the Family as can go. Go shopping with Shauna. Have dinner (homemade cheese manicotti with broccoli) and cake (funfetti with mint chocolate chip ice cream)...YUM! Do something with Russell in honor of his birthday (it was the 5th, but I had to work..total bummer).

Saturday (17th): MY BIRTHDAY! Go to lunch with Rachel, then about 4:30 head north toward Mesa Verde. I say head toward, because I'm not necessarily planning on getting all the way there. I've Sunday and Monday off, so we'll see how far the journey goes. Ordinarily I'm all about the destination, but this trip is different. :) I'm really looking forward to it.

Sunday (18th)/Monday (19th): just meander around away from the heat and misery of the Phoenix Valley. YAY!

What a great weekend!

This fourth of July was pretty great. I got to lay on the trampoline (at the house I'm watching) with a good friend and watch the fireworks. The trees sorta got in the way, but it was still pretty awesome. I love, love, LOVE fireworks. All pretty and sparkly. :) Plus the weather was great...not too hot, not too windy. Ah, kismet. It just worked out.

On the 5th, after a quick nap since I had worked the night before, I went with Dave and we hit an archery range. I haven't shot a bow and arrow since middle school, but it was a blast (even though it was outside). We both ended up with nasty looking bruises on our arms from where the strings snapped us, but it was so worth it. At least to me!

Sigh....I did so enjoy myself.
