My 32nd Birthday!

My birthday this year was on a Wednesday of a very busy week but it was good none the less. I worked as usual. My friend Lauren took me to lunch at a favorite in Salem, the Wild Pear and we had a great lunch! After work I went home to do a few quick things before, Lori and Jana, drove me down to Corvallis to meet AJ and his cohorts and celebrate them being done with school and their program. We had tapas at a cool restaurant in Corvallis called Magenta and then AJ and I were able to ride home together. We got home around 11pm and AJ had a present waiting for me. It was a huge box and I opened it to find a gift from him and my sister and her husband!!

A Burberry baby bag!!! It is beautiful and an amazing gift.

It opens up to a diaper changing pad that you can unsnap off the bag to use and it is washable.

But the cutest thing ever is the Binky holder on the strap...

So then on Thursday after work we had our family dinner and Lori made yummy chicken and rice and a spinach salad. For dessert I had asked for Boston Creme Pie which she made from scratch and it was so yummy! I really wanted German Chocolate Cake but none of the DeBacker's like coconut so I knew it would not be a crowd pleaser so I went for Boston Creme Pie. But Lori suprised me with my own slice of German Chocolate from the Konditorei and it was super yummy!

After dinner I opened my gifts from Al & Lori, Jana & JJ. They had made AJ and I a book of our wedding which is cool because I have never had the time to do this and now all can enjoy it and see how much fun our wedding was!

The cover.

Many pages and pages with lots of pictures!

It was a great birthday! My parents and AJ's parents gave me some money so I went and bought some new maternity clothes yesterday! What fun!

All in in a great day and week of love from my family and friends!
