Birthday Stuff

Yesterday was my birthday. I love my birthday... maybe because all day I tell Kyle he has to do things because it's MY birthday!! I also love sharing my birthday with my wonderful Mom. I love her very much and it's great to celebrate our day together. You may not be aware that I am a very emotional person. Lately whenever I get to talk to my family on the phone or Skype I get teary eyed. It's not so much because I miss them (I do) but more because I love them and for some reason that just makes me cry. So dad, if you were wondering why I got so quiet when I talked to you yesterday it was because I didn't want to start bawling in the restaurant. (Even now I'm getting a little teary eyed)

I told Kyle I really didn't want any presents. My reasoning for this is because we just moved 1500 miles and it was not cheap. I also just got a new cell phone and we bought rock band, so I felt spoiled enough. The one thing I did ask for I haven't gotten yet, a job. Well I guess I'm learning patience but I don't know how much longer I can take it! Because I have so much free time on my hands I did end up at nearby mall a few times during the day. I got myself a few presents, clothes, because Kyle says he will NOT buy clothes for me because he doesn't know how to choose them, etc. Here are some things I got, for me, for my birthday

My thoughtful parents also sent me a gift. In a conversation with my dad I mentioned I didn't have a hammer so I couldn't hang up any pictures or anything. He knows I love to decorate my home and was adamant that I get a hammer for my birthday. They got me this tool kit, which is pink, with all the things I would need to decorate or hang shelves. I'm very excited to use it.

Kyle said he really wasn't getting me anything, but he did get me a shirt from Epic. It's actually very comfortable and now I don't have to steal his... not that I ever did.
He gave it to me in this gift bag, which was hilarious. He said it's because I'm a princess, but for some reason I didn't believe him. Kyle did get a birthday cake, a Oreo cookie ice cream cake. It was delicious and I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful guy. He even got some sparkly numbered candles for me to blow out.
