Yes indeedy...today was my 23rd Birthday! Really doesn't feel any different. I just sometimes feel a bit more wiser as I get older....learn many new things each year that passes! I'm sure when I'm at 29 or 39 I'll be wanting to count backwards.
Today was very eventful...kind of...but I'll start off by saying we went out to dinner for my birthday last night, I chose Red Robin! They have delicious wraps there...gobbled it up. Mom treated us to dinner, she arrived at about 4pm yesterday. She drove through "The Triangle" just south of Kansas City on 71 Hwy...during rush hour....she said she had never done that before....speed was about 15mph. But she made it safe and sound.
Anyway, today it was just kind of a rainy day, but we knew what we were going to do. They have what's called "The Parade of Homes" in Kansas City and surrounding cities. SO Chuck took us around to look at houses. However, these are not your ordinary houses....they range anywhere from $750,000 to $2.46 Million!!!! Crazy! We found our dream home, as we do every year. Just something to shoot for I guess. I'll be happy to just be a homeowner someday! And at least have 2 bathrooms....a lot of the houses have 5 or 6 bedrooms along with 5-7 bathrooms...and maybe 3 or 4 furnaces and 2 A/C units! Crazy stuff!!! Just makes ya wonder what the people do for a living as some of the houses are actually occupied. But most of the homes are for sale.
So after looking at a few houses, we headed to the mall to do a bit of shopping. Didn't really hit a jack pot anywhere but Mom made a Bday present purchase for me....which was my swim suit for the year or maybe for the rest of my life, hehe. Never thought I'd ever wear a one piece swim suit again since I was like...10, but the Lord showed me I must wear a one piece, all mothers know what I'm talking about. I have to say though, it is a very cute swim suit! So I'm very proud that I found a suit that looks good on me, and will look better after a few alterations...Grandma...we'll have to talk!
After the mall we headed to Hy-Vee, picked up some meat for grilling and also to pick up some "Organic" Milk for mother to try. Grilled, watched American Idol and One Tree Hill and here we are.
SO I had a very wonderful 23rd Birthday. Many birthday wishes came my way whether by email, mail or phone call. Thank you all so much.
OH and yes....I can't forget lunch was at Chick Fil A. And I had an awesome Mint Cookies N Cream shake.....delicious!! Okay enough for now!
