Amy's Birthday

I really had a nice birthday this year (though I guess the partying isn't over yet). Tom took the day off today, and I only worked a few hours. We got to sleep in, and then after I got off of work and he finished some errands (which included picking up a really nice vase of flowers and balloons from a local flower shop--way to go, Tom!), we went out to lunch at Marie Calendars. After that, Tom let me drag him around town to do some shopping I wanted to do. Thank goodness he had his MP3 player with him, he was able to listen to his favorite talk radio podcasts while I looked through scrapbook supplies at a craft store. Not his favorite place to be--I think he likes me ;D

After all of the shopping, Tom took me to a movie called Penelope. If you haven't seen it, I would recommend it. Very cute--it's definitely acceptable for families, and it had a good theme. It was very much a make you feel good sort of movie. On the way home we stopped at the grocery store for some snack foods (had to be well stocked for my party tomorrow).

Okay, I don't really know why I just gave you an intensive travel log. I think I must be tired.
I just thought I'd put up a quickie post to thank you all for being in our lives. We love your friendships and look forward to many more years of the same. Thanks for all of your calls and messages, it's always nice to hear from you. I'll put up some photos of the party we're having tomorrow night (I guess it's tonight now since it's past midnight already).
