Happy 27!

Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!
This birthday has been pretty good so far!!  Gabe and I went out this past weekend and celebrated, we went out to dinner at Ruth Chris Steak House downtown.  OMG!!  I remember it being expensive and fancy when I went a few years ago..... but we spent $70 on just the 2 of us.... and I didnt even get a meal, I only got a salad!!!  Can you believe it!!???!! But it sure was nice to get away from the kids and just have some alone time with my man!  The food there is also amazing!!!  I had to have a bite of Gabes steak.... wow!  Best Steak EVER!!!  Also, the best frenchfries in the world!!  So delicious!!  I also went shopping this weekend with my mom! It was so fun, we shopped for christmas and then she bought me some new pants and shirts for my bday, which was so nice!!  I definately have needed some new clothes!!  Plus, sometimes with your bday so close to christmas, some people get you one thing and say Happy Bday and merry christmas!!  It gets annoying some times... but my mom has been good about separating the two. 
When I turned 25, for some reason it was a really hard birthday for me, maybe because I had just had a baby, and I felt so young to have so many kids, yet so old because of my kids, and man... I donno, it was just really emotional and crappy!  But this birthday has been the complete opposite!!  I think its because I feel like my family is complete and even though we have had a really rough and trying year, somehow we have made it through all the crapiness and its been fine.  We are surviving and learning and growing and I have just come to terms with life.  I think that things are looking up, even though I am getting old  haha  Hopefully when I turn 30 it wont be a crappy bday.  I hope all the rest of my bdays are this fun!
