Birthday Fun

My birthday was a week ago last Friday (the 10th), and it started out a little rough - was a hard day at work - but ended sweetly. I got home, had to give a massage, and then Bradley was coming over. He showed up with a big homemade chocolate cake with peanut butter chips. Mmmm....he also got me some jewelry he found at an antique shop - a bracelet and ring made out of antique silverware handles. I loved it!

The next day was a day of fun with friends!

YOGA!

I have never tried yoga before, but I know lots of people who love it, and those people are radiating with life and energy, so I've always wanted to give it a try. Summer is a massage therapist and yogi, and a good friend of Jason's, so I called her up to schedule a yoga class in our backyard. It was awesome - myself, Kat, Nicool, Jace, and Sara (Jace's new sweetie who owns Wokstar), all did a beginner Ashtanga yoga class in the early morning sun, with the breeze floating through the palms, and the sound of the ocean in the background. It was unforgettable.

And it was followed up with mimosas! Yum!

PEDICURES!

Then myself, Carrie, and Nicool adjourned to David's Happy Nails for some foot rubbin. We enjoyed a nice pedicure there - the girls got french pedis, and I got orange with red polka dots. Perfect!

MOVIE!

Then Carrie took me to town to see a movie - my favorite thing to do! We went to see Monsters vs Aliens, in 3D. It was such a trip. I really enjoyed the movie - it was too cool for school. Plus, all the earth sequences were set in Modesto, CA., where I was BORN. What a serendipitous reference for my BIRTHDAY. :)

DINNER!

We headed home, and I jumped in the shower to get ready for a dinner at Mala. It was so nice - Jason, Candace, Carrie, Jace, Rachel, Nicool, and Bradley all came for a delicious dinner.

GOING OUT!

I was completely exhausted by the time we actually headed out to Mulligan's, and then on to Tip Ups, but I tried to man up, and make it through. Mulligan's was okay, we only stayed for one drink. Ryan's band was playing at Tip Ups, and that was way more fun for me - I love their music. Got to enjoy a few songs and a drink there, and then it was time to put this baby to bed!

GREAT BIRTHDAY!
