09.14.02 CONGRATULATIONS to Ray and Connie! *YAWN*
Last night...er, should I say, this morning...Ivy, Oli, and Paul got
in around 3am. We all stayed up talking till nealy 5:30am before heading
to bed. Aric,
Ashlyn, and I went to South Coast Plaza to walk around and shop. I
got a few things...a Coach wrist purse, some silver earrings, and
a new dress for Ashlyn (for Ann and Phil's wedding). Ashlyn rode the
carousel for the first time...I think she enjoyed it. She looked like
such a big girl, sitting there on the horse, holding onto the pole.
=) Ivy, Oli, Paul, Auntie Justina, and Uncle Dean got back from the wedding around 11pm...and brought along Jimmy and Jenni (who also came down for the wedding). It's been ages since I seen Jimmy and Jenni. It was really a nice surprise. =D They picked up a Banana Cream Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory and sang "Happy Birthday". *blush* Yep, I'm another year older. A lot has changed since my last birthday, but I still feel the same. This year was much more low-key than last...which is how I preferred to spend it. Unlike previous years, I noticed that I've become a bit uneasy with being the center of attention. Pretty shocking, eh? hehehe But today was perfect. Many THANKS to all the birthday wishes via phone, mail, voicemail, emails, and egreetings!...you guys ROCK! =D Ivy, Jimmy, Jenni, and I stayed up watching "Trading Spaces" and talking till late...while Oli, Paul, and Aric crashed out. hehehe Pictures from today:
