TGIF

I have a busy but fun weekend ahead of me because.....

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND! (Chris and I are born two days apart so I don't get a birthday. I get a birth week or weekend depending on where it falls, which works for me because I absolutely LOVE my birthday.)

The festivities start tonight with a candle party that my bestest's mom is hosting. Big plans to buy myself a early present.

Saturday we a getting up and heading downtown for a baseball game, then meeting Chris' family for dinner here:

and then hiting the Royal Canadian Exhibition for an evening of games, shopping and more food (I'm pretty sure the wedding diet is on hold for this weekend. It's my birthday.)

Sunday is my actual birthday and I have no big plans yet. Maybe a mani/pedi date in the morning with my mommy. I know there is a family BBQ scheduled for some point, and hopefully Chris has something up his sleeve. Possibly taking me to see this (shameless hinting happening right now):



Cannot wait for this day to end!

Hope everyone else has an awesome weekend planned!

WHAT A Weekend!

Saturday was my 25th birthday. So I am now a quarter of a century old.....

So needless to say this weekend was nuts and I am now in full recovery mode.....until I go to work at 5.

We started off the celebrations on Friday when C managed to surprised me with this:

A brand new camera which he hid in the glove compartment of his car and tricked me into going in there to get him a napkin. My camera has been acting up for the past couple of months, so I had a good idea that I was getting a new one, but I was still shocked to see it there for some reason, probably because he gave it to me a day early.

The reason I got it early is because he knew I wanted to use it on Saturday for the big day that we had planned.

We started the day with a Jays Vs. Detroit game

Awesome panoramic pictures that the new camera takes.

Ace, our Mascot

My camera has a self shot setting where it won't take the picture until it recognizes two faces. I had to try it. Please ignore the stupid look on my face...I was concentrating.

Beautiful Day so the dome was open

After the game (we won!) we met C's parents, sister and her boyfriend at the one and only Spaghetti Factory.

We had cake

C's birthday is tomorrow, so we share a cake

And then we headed to the ex, for a fun night of shopping, games and food (sooo much food, I don't think I'm every going to want to eat again!)


Sunday we had my family party:

Which meant more cake:

Vanilla with Kisses

Chocolate Banana (SO GOOD!)

My parents bought me this beautiful Guess watch

Also, to make the weekend even more crazy, today is B`s 2nd birthday.

It`s amazing. I remember when she was this big

And here she is today (with the other two birthday people of course!)

So big! So today I am wishing my beautiful B a very very happy 2nd birthday!

Sorry for the post heavily loaded with pictures, but it was a weekend that was heavily loaded with pictures.

This is what I do when the Fiance tells me to be productive.....

So it is my last official day of summer. Tomorrow I go back to York University, and back to the day to day stress of school. I'm actually kind of excited. I'm the type of person that needs to be busy or else I go completely stir crazy, and being stuck at home with nothing to do doesn't help. So I believe I was driving the fiance crazy with the endless text messages while he was at work, so he told me to do something productive with my last day off, and here we are!

So I figure lets give an update on my oh so interesting life since the last time I blogged.....

I believe we can start with the birthdays! My birthday was the 28th of August and I turned 24 and the fiance turned 26 on the 31st, so it was a bit crazy but lots of fun. He got me Britney Spears tickets as a end of school/birthday present so we went there on the 20th. On a side note, I LOVE Britney Spears! She reminds me of my highschool years, and I think she really gets the raw end of the deal with the media and such. But yeah, I love her and I'm not afraid to admit it. So the concert was slightly out of town and we had to drive there, and of course, the concert falls on the one day where tornado's decide to land in various places all over the GTA. I'm Canadian, I'm not accostomed to things like tornado's, so naturally, this scares the crap out of me. I did not get the pleasure of seeing an actual tornado, but we were driving in the biggest thunder storm I have ever been in my life.

The above picture is out of the fiance's car window on the drive up, at about 5:30 in the evening. So yeah, despite the fact that the fiance insists that he is a good driver and that we were perfectly fine, I was terrified. But in any case we survived, I got to see Britney (which was AMAZING by the way....well worth the money that fiance paid to take me!)

Next were the family parties, a must in both of our families. On my actual birthday "C" came over and brought me pretty flowers..........and then took me shopping (spending more money) and then back to my house for BBQ and cake, not really all that interesting or worth writing about. Saturday was the exhibition, a tradition for our birthdays with the fiance's family. Again lots of fun, but not overly interesting.

Last Sunday was the friends birthday party (we did it on a Sunday because Monday is a holiday here). So we had people over for a BBQ and then went to a club afterward. My friends, being the loving people that they are proceeded to get me smashed, which is not difficult because I don't drink well. Anyways it was a fun night of drinking and dancing. nd of course, I got presents (are you getting that I LOVE to get presents?) Not going to show them all but here is what my bestest bought for me:


Hence why she is the bestest!

Anyways, I guess this has wasted enough of my day and I should probably find something actually productive to do on my last day off!
