Birthday Bliss

Not only was my birthday last week, but it was my FIRST birthday that Rob and I have EVER spent together since we've known one another. Last year he was in Iraq and the year before he was in Afghanistan. If you know me, you know that birthdays are the BEST! No holiday is better than YOUR birthday because it is all yours and (hopefully) you don't have to share it with anyone! In my family it is a day you can do whatever you want, you can be as spoiled as necessary (because when else do you have an excuse to do all this).

To celebrate, we went shopping (successfully) and went out to eat and came home and had my favorite - ICECREAM CAKE! But not just any icecream cake, Dairy Queen icecream cake, which if you've ever had, you'll share in my enthusiasm.



In coordination with my goal for this year, all the things I seem to want have to do with cooking. So I got a food processor which I quickly put to use making homemade hummus (recipe coming soon).



I also got a griddle, which I think Rob was more excited about than I was, since he got it right out and used it the next morning ;)



It was a great birthday and I enjoyed every minute of it!
