I'm How Old??

26. Twenty-Six. No matter how you write it, it's still old. This is the first year that I've actually not wanted to get older. I know, I know, it's not that old. But to me it is. So there. I did have a great birthday though. I was relaxing outside in the afternoon, sitting in the shade reading a book, when I got a phone call. It was Noah. Not really a big deal since he often calls me during the day, but this time was different. He was on his way home! He surprised me and got home 2 hours early for my birthday! YAY! I celebrated by kicking his butt in Polish Golf, darts, and Uno. Then it was time to start making dins! He grilled me some delicious T-bones on the grill, a potato dish, and of course, garlic bread! MMMmm.

After we scarfed down the outstanding meal, oh and took my annual birthday picture...

...we headed to "The Hangover" in Monticello. It was hilarious! I am still laughing today at some of the lines.



Besides the great food and great movie, my favorite part of the day happened as we were walking out to the car to go to the movie. I got a birthday present from my dad!!



It was a perfect rainbow! And we got to enjoy it on the entire drive to Monticello. It felt as if we would drive right underneath it. Way cool.

Once we got back home it time for......CAKE AND ICE CREAM! Yummo! Noah made me a tastey cake, and got some Reese's Ice Cream. Best combo EVER! After we had full tummies (again) we headed to bed for a good night's sleep. And by a good night's sleep I mean waking up at 1am when the power went out, fan shut off, and roasting began. We checked the fuses and found that it wasn't us, it was the entire area. So we called the electric company and tried to go back to sleep. Grrrrr. It was out for almost 2 hours, and of course I was awake that entire time. Oh well. All in all it was a fabulous day and I'm slowly getting used to being 26. Twenty-Six. Ick.
