Happy Birthday to ME

This month I turned 27. As part of the celebration for this glorious occasion, I went to dinner with Hillary and Vikki. I've known these girls since I was a little scrawny beehive, so it's been a LONG time. As much as I love making new friends, nothing can replace the old ones.






After dinner we went back to my house where my in-laws came and joined in on some cake and ice cream action. Is it really pathetic that I bought my own birthday cake? I felt kind of funny telling the lady at the store to write happy birthday michelle, I had to laugh and tell her it was for myself. But what's even more pathetic is that my mother-in-law offered to bring a cake, but I told her I wanted to pick out my own since I'm a cake nazi and there's only one kind of cake I like. :)



Yes, even making that face, he's still my best friend!


Then, a couple days later, Darryl surprised me by taking the day off of work and taking me to the Hollywood Bowl! I've never been there before, and it was quite the cultural experience. The Hollywood Bowl is the largest, oldest ampitheatre in the United States and it really was a cool thing to see. Darryl got us tickets to see the LA Philharmonic. I know to some people that probably sounds like such a boring outing, but being the musical nerd that I am, I was pretty excited! I've always wanted to see a live orchestra, so now I can check that off my list of things to do before I die. :)






Another year down, many more to go!

Looks like you had a fun b-day! I love listening to symphonies. I'm a nerd too (a cultured one). :)

How awesome that Darryl took the day off to take you to do something special. Not sure I could get my hubby to the philharmonic :)
