Long overdue....

I've been too busy since my birthday to update what happened. D. took me to a restaurant called Barcelona. It was really yummy. I managed to find a skirt to wear at Macy's and I found a pair of dressy boots to wear. That girl that R. was supposed to bring cancelled at the last minute. I guess she forgot about a birthday party that she was supposed to attend. R. got me a few silly presents: reindeer antlers (which they tried to get me to wear), a slap braclet with bells, a "mad cow" keychain (that's fun to annoy D. with) and a shotglass with a pig on it from Iowa. And I got a free dessert b/c they told them it was my b-day.

The next night, the 3 of us went to see the luminaries in German Village. Just as D. and I were parking the car, it started to snow. It made everything even more beautiful. Here's some pictures from the night:



This is the bridge that crosses the little pond:


This is the main sidewalk that leads up to the statue in the middle of the park:



Here's me:
