Age is just a number, and mine is....34

Yep, I'm 34.  A lot has happened this past year...

Let's see.  I spent my last birthday at Abbotsford hospital visiting my hubby.  He had an infection that put him in the hospital for 4 days.  I was also 7 months pregnant, going to school, and organising the new baby room.

So this Birthday my hubby planned a great day for me.  We started our day by going out for breakfast at IHOP.  I love their pancakes!!  After that, I went and had a manicure/pedicure.  Have you ever noticed how good you feel after pampering yourself?  I felt awesome.  But I wasn't done there...I also had my eybrows shaped and coloured, and my eyelashes dyed.  Ouch on the eyebrows, but man do they look good!  I had no idea my eyebrows had become so, well...overgrown.  ;-)

After that, we dropped off my little Elysia at my parent's house and headed out for dinner.  We went to The Olive Garden where we enjoyed a delicious pasta dinner.  After filling up on the endless salad and breadsticks, we had plenty of dinner to take home with us!  We then headed over to our local casino for a few hours.  It was one of those nights where I just couldn't lose.  Every time I wasn't winning, I would talk to my machine and tell it that it was my birthday, and BAM!  I'd win.  Yep, I kept winning while hubby kept losing.  Down, down, down, went his credits while mine kept climbing.  It was so funny, and so much fun!

The following day we went to my parent's house for dinner.  There we were spoiled with a wonderful steak dinner (my favourite), and I got a new game for my Wii (Mario Bros, if you're interested...).  Then it was Cake, tea, and home.  Guess it's a good thing I have the Wii FIT!

Yesterday after church Steve and I decided to go for a day trip to Whistler.  The drive is only a couple hours long, and it is such a beautiful drive!  We watched all the skiiers enjoying their time in the village, and had dinner at the Spaghetti Factory there. As I said, it's a good thing I have the Wii Fit!

So that was my weekend.  It was a wonderful, fabulous, indulgent weekend, and I loved it.  Thank you Steve and family!
