I figured now might be a good time to blog about my birthday- considering it was two weeks ago. My birthday was Sunday July 18, but the festivities started on the previous Friday when my Dad took me to St. Louis for a father/daughter surprise date. We ended up at the airport for "dinner," but during dinner Joshua (my boyfriend) showed up. It was the best surprise and exactly what I needed. It had been a month since I had last seen Josh. A month is a very long time. There aren't enough words for how happy I was to see him and to get to spend 4 days with him! Since Josh lives in Seattle we've only gotten to see each other twice this summer (including the birthday surprise). Josh said we were stealing time from summer on my birthday weekend. We spent our blissful four days swimming in the lake, riding bikes, hanging out with friends and family and staying up late. On my actual birthday friends came over and we made a delicious dinner. (peanut chicken saute, vegetable curry, grilled tomato sandwiches, focaccia bread and cookie dough cupcakes.) After dinner we played Norwegian Table Manners and Spoons. Fun games and fun friends. I am blessed and so thankful for amazing family and friends.
Also, on a crafty note, I am loving paint and moleskin cahier notebooks together. These pocket notebooks are the perfect size for short-ish quotes and what not. I buy them in packs of three on amazon.com. I recently got small bottles of acrylic paint on a super sale (5 for $1!) at Michael's, which is what I have been using to paint these beauties.
