Wow, I can't believe how much time I've let go by without blogging. I've been a busy girl I guess. Anyway, I keep saying that I need to blog about my birthday. For those of you who don't know, Chris and I were introduced when I was out celebrating my birthday with friends. I didn't want to meet him but couldn't find a way to nicely say no. The night we met, we were at Texas Roadhouse so its been our tradition every year since to go there to celebrate my birthday and our meeting. Time has really flown by. I don't know where the last five years have gone.
When that picture was taken of me five years ago, Chris just happened to be in it, and I'm so glad I have it to document that day. Here's another picture that was just supposed to be of me holding up my cake and Chris just happened to be in. I thought it was a funny coincidence and very appropriate to share. 
Back to my original point. I had a great birthday. I took the Saturday before off so Chris and I could hang out. We went to Texas Roadhouse and ordered way to much food and took a ton of it home, which is always a great thing. Sunday, we celebrated with my fam with a turkey dinner...Theresa's fav. The next day, Jen slaved in the kitchen to make this beautiful and delicious cake for me. I'm still not used to getting to having a cake all for me but I definitely like having my own. (For those of you who don't know, I share my birthday with my big brother, Nathan, and my sister Theresa is just 2 days after ours. So growing up, we all shared the same birthday cake) Thank you so much to everyone who helped make it such a fun day. I hope I never get too old to celebrate my birthday! 
Other than that not too much exciting news with us. Youth conference is coming up pretty quick so we are getting everything all ready for that. I don't know how we got put in charge of it, but I think its coming together finally. It will be lots of fun but I will be glad when its all over and I don't have to think about it anymore! School is still going well, only about 6 more weeks till the end of the semester...how crazy is that?! That's about it though. I'll try to not be so much of a slacker with blogging. Hopefully I wont let another 3 weeks go by this time! Have a great week!

Aww! Happy late birthday Val! I always remembered your birthday is the 19th of October and that you and Melissa Spearow shared the same bday. How do I remember that?! Bet you don't know when mine is! Ha! FYI - August 28th. Glad you had such a fun day. It's no fun sharing with family members. I was born on my parents 2nd anniversary and my Dad didn't let me hear the end of it. It's always been a big joke that I had NO CONTROL over the day I was born :)
You have gone a long time without blogging...you're still the best at it though! Glad you had such a good birthday. Your childhood sounds so sad...having to share a birthday AND the cake. You must have had a horrible mother! The picture from five years ago is great...no one knew then that Chris would end up being your soul mate, eh? He looks cute off in the background! Have a great day!
I still have your present! I can't believe I forgot at Haloween. maybe i will see you soon. Have a good day!
