Birthdays! Birthdays! All around!

I celebrated my (gulp) 25th birthday last weekend. Along with Cole's 28th birthday and my dad's... well let's just keep you guessing on that number.... birthday.

On my actual birthday, Friday, February 6th, I was sick. I did go over to my parent's house for a joint birthday dinner with my dad. His birthday is on January 31st. It was really fun and I got to eat good food which always makes me feel better. Thanks mom!


But the best part of the evening ended up being opening the presents. Go figure. But it's not what you think at all! Let me explain....

My mom had a couple clothing size presents for myself and my dad. You know the clothing boxes that are oh so obvious. All of a sudden, my brother gets all worked up.

"No you didn't. Mom, that better not be what I think it is! Because you know that's what I want. I want it. Mom, you know that is what I have been wanting for ages."

I am obviously confused but continued to open the present and this is what I found.... along with my brother's reaction:

Now while I promised my brother I would not put this video on youtube, he never said anything about my blog. :) I heart you, bro!

And to give my bro a little more credit, he thought I was getting a Sounders FC jersey! I would have reacted the same way if I thought he was getting one!

The day after my sickness, Cole and I traveled up to Vancouver for a birthday getaway. We had a lovely time. Relaxing. Walking through Stanley Park. And eating till our hearts content!

If you want to hear more about my trip and the most intense experience I have had in awhile, call me and just ask me about E Hasting Street.
