A Quarter of a Century!

Wednesday will be my 25th birthday!!  Whew!!  most often i don't feel my age.  but some days i do.  those are the days i'm; paying bills, worrying, exhausted, trying to plan for the future, cleaning the house. :)  you know, grown up things.

but at the same time, i feel that I've really done some good growing up this past year.  i feel more comfortable in myself, and with the fact that i'm growing up.  yes i still get fears of, ohhh am i waiting to long to start having kids???  Will we ever be able to put money in our savings?  what jobs will we have in the future? will we get to buy a house?  what kind of vehicle will we get when we do start a family?  ....where is my cell phone? hahaha i can hear it ringing but have no idea where it is..hahah that's random.

anyways. 25 years, a quarter of a century.  how to ring it in?

well Jordan and i started on Saturday! :) birthday WEEK i guess :)  we went and watched RANGO in theaters. fun to go to the movies and an entertaining flick.

(fun fact, 9 times out of 10 if we are going to the theater, it's for a cartoon)

then we went shopping!!! Kohls - got 3 shirts for me, then old navy - 3 shirts for jordan, a tank and a pair of pants for work for me, pac sun had an awesome dark green spring jacket on sale for $15 that i loved and got! then to jc penny, i'm very proud of this one.  a $40 pair of pants and a $20 shirt...for......drum roll!! $22!! i love coupons and helpful checkout folks :)

then we went to Barnes and noble to kill time before our dinner reservations.  Jordan went in to paroose while i stayed in the car and read my newest dragon book!! part of a series. NERD there i said it.  i LOVE fantasy books that involve dragons, and mystical lands, new worlds, odd creatures, adventures. i dunno why i just love it :)

Sooo then we had dinner at Sullivan's steak house - courtesy of jake.

we had to wait maybe 10 min for our table, enjoying the live jazz band in the adjacent bar as we waited. SO COOL!  then we were seated.  the only thing i didn't enjoy was the scantily short skirts all the girls wore. NO BENDING OVER!!

Jordan was ecstatic when i said he could get the 24 oz porter house.  i got an absolutely amazing flaminyon. how do you spell that.. ugh. we ordered mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. ya i know mac and cheese at an upscale restaurant?  what!! that's what i said. but we ended up fighting over it. sooooooo unbelievably good!!  the meal was great, there were interesting and slightly drunk people to watch to entertain between convos. we had alot of fun and loved the food. :)

Jordan and i really had a fun day.  Wednesday will be my birthday, the evening will include amazing pie from Northstar bakery and delicious ice cream from matanuska creamery!! can't wait :)

now i just have to get back in the gym!
