Happy Birthday to Me! (and EMILY!)

Last Thursday I celebrated my 25 birthday. For those of you who don't remember the date I turned 25 on the 25th. I think this is the hardest birthday to be so far. 30 seems so close! Fortunately, I got to do a lot of fun things to take my mind off of the whole getting old thing. On Thursday we went over Heather's to watch The Office premiere with Jason, Amber, and Devin. What could be better than watching Jim propose while eating cake and ice cream? Friday John and I went to Dave and Buster's with the Heather, Dan, Amber, Devin, Merrin, and Matt. During this exciting trip I won over 3000 tickets. Ok so I probably won about 2000 and Merrin donated 1000 to my cause. However, I did win the trivia game and won over 500 tickets in one sitting. Then Amber and I went to go play the coin pushy game thing and the tickets weren't coming out so we went and got an employee to help us. It seems the thing had been jammed all nite so I got another 500 tickets! It really was my lucky night. I got tons of fun gifts too in cluding a new scrapbook! Thanks to everyone for making my birthday so memorable!!

Pictures to come...

Twilight

Sad Sad Sad

So this past week has been really crappy on the friend front. First, Leigh Ann (my nanny partner in crime) is move to Florida next week! It happened to fast! I am gonna be so bored and lonely at work. Then yesterday we found out Heather and Dan are moving to Utah for Dan's job. Do people have to move so far away?? Seriously, it's no mystery that I am not a fan of Maryland, but we had made to many good friends it made it a lot better. Now they are dropping like flies. Okay, maybe that's not the right analogy, but still! Now I will be really lobbying for a move. Ugh.

Happy Birthday Papa!!

The first weekend in August my Grandpa celebrated his 80th birthday! John and I were able to go back and visit him. We also had the chance to see my Great Uncle Jim and Aunt Beth who I haven't seen since 8th grade! It was a fun time.

Independance Day

My mom and Mikaela came to visit us for the Fourth of July. They actually arrived the the day after though. We had a jampacked 4 days of DC fun. We went to the aquarium, the zoo, painted our own pottery, swam, bought a new mattress, the DC mall, and much more. They left on Wednesday and I was able to with them and fly back using my voucher I got for when BWI forgot to send my luggage with me. Here are some pics!

Rebecca's Baptism. I had such a good view!

This past weekend we were able to go back to Ohio AGAIN and see our niece Rebecca get baptized. It was great to see John's side of the family since we missed them for Memorial Day. We took advantage of the time and took lots of family pics. So you finally get to see John's family instead of just me and Delainey all the time. Don't worry I still got some Delainey pics. No trip to Ohio would be complete without them Rebecca looks like she might get even bigger than her big sister. Morgan is only 2.5, but she already could pass for a 4 year old. Brian and Jen should form their own women's volleyball team.
