Kicking off the end to winter.

Friday was my birthday although it really feels like my birthday was last week in Mexico. My boss gave me a gift card to Garozzo's so of course that is where we went Friday night. The food was delicious as always, but I was rather upset that they took my favorite item off the menu. Afterwards, Andy had gotten me a DQ Blizzard cake and some flowers. Briley was really upset that I didn't have a birthday party or presents. She just didn't get that my trip was my present. I would take that present every year if I could. I have been so blessed these past thirty years with an amazing childhood full of wonderful memories, marrying the love of my life, and beginning our family. What more could a girl ask for? I only hope the next thirty years are as good.

On Saturday, we were sitting down eating breakfast and Briley said, "I think it would be a good day to go ice skating with Clifford." Andy looked it up and it was real so we decided to go since we didn't really have too many plans for the day. It was a bit of a nightmare as far as getting skates and on the ice, but Briley really enjoyed herself for the two times she went around the rink. Afterwards, we went over to Crown Center to eat and check out the animal exhibit for kids. They had a lot of signs and Lego statues advertising two new additions to Crown Center. I am so excited for April when the Sea Life Aquariam and Legoland open! I have a feeling Briley is going to love it. I would love for it to open in time for her birthday, but we'll see.
