I'm Old...er

A Christine Entry: 

I always gave my friends a hard time for calling themselves old when they turned 29 or 30. I get it now. 29 is...old...er. 

Yes, the day has come when I enjoy being carded.

I had a wonderful birthday. 

It started the the night before. Since Stacey's birthday is so close to mine, we celebrated together. She and Nick joined us for dinner and we enjoyed some birthday cupcakes and talked about how old we are.

On the day of, I spent the morning with my little boy and then went out for manicures, sushi and shopping with Rachel and Michelle. 

For dinner, we did my absolute favorite thing in the whole world....WATCH FOOTBALL AT A LOUD BAR! WOOOOOOOOOOP! 

Just kidding, it's not my favorite thing. BUT I was with my favorite people, so it was still great. :) 

My brothers and Sooji made it all the way up from Eugene to hang out. Sara and her family joined us too, even though the weren't feeling so great. Good people. :) 

Holidays and Friends

We have some incredible friends. I could write a blog post about each one. Maybe some other time. :)

The part of our holidays that we spent with our friends was full of laughs.

The highlights were that Jon and I had an Ugly Sweater Party with our neighbors also hung out with them for New Years. We danced and played shuffle board. Sara and I beat the guys at shuffle board. This makes us better than them in every way.


Another experience we were able to share with our neighbors was the "Intel Snow." The enormous amount of steam rising from Intel frosted over our area and created some beautiful, white scenery. :)
