birthday.

I ignored the number and had my birthday the other day.

My friend Ashley showed up and took me to a late lunch in downtown Apex. She and I are polar opposites, but we're convinced that that's why we're good for each other. It felt awesome to have someone concerned about keeping me busy on my birthday.

I had two cuties take me on a dinner date. One of them was pushing a hard proposal that he stay home and play with my his balloons.

I was spoiled with roses, balloons, stemless wine glasses and a new Nikon. I'm waiting for the weather to get less stormy so I can go outside and play with the camera; indoor pictures get my rookie skills all blurry and frustrated.

Matt took off work yesterday so we could lounge around together and topped me off with the ultimate birthday gift - a three hour, guilt-free, rainy day nap.
