a tale of two birthdays-part one

it is a gorgeous warm and sunny day here in decatur.
i mean really, its hard not to be in a good mood on a day like today.
i got up and watched a little women's soccer (brazil vs. germany- germay won) and then made some breakfast.
i just put some laundry in and i am about to get to reading. but before i do, let me tell you a little bit about my birthday (which was last monday the 24th) and then i will tell you about my friend emma's 30th bday (which took place on friday, september 28th). LIBRAS RULE!

ok, so last saturday, sarah and kim joined jes and me at sabroso for some tapas. jes and i got some patatas bravas (delish) and some chicken soft tacos (also good). lastly, we got guacamole (not so good). but along with our dinner we had some sangria, which was pretty good. after dinner we all headed to the standard to meet up with kristina, emma, nikki, and christina. wow that's a lot of c/kristinas.

anywho here is emma with kristina with a k:



not only did they bring their cute selves, they also brought the red velvet cake that jes bought from southern sweets. it was divine.

sarah and kim told their hilarious story about how my gfriend jodie (foster) is cuckoo for cocoa puffs and how she stalked their friend's friend from louisiana. emma and kristina could not believe it.



here is a picture of everyone that came. it was really fun to just kick back and relax and have a few drinks while sitting outside in the cool night time air. we laughed and told stories, made fun of the drunk girls doing shots by us (and also celebrating a birthday) and then we all went home and went to bed. well, at least jes and i did.



the next morning we got up and went and had brunch with dawn and gator and their boys at thumbs up. it wasn't too crowded by the time we got there, so we were able to sit down pretty immediately. jes and i got our usual: soysage and cheese on a biscuit and it was delish. we also got to chat a bunch with the grown ups b/c bailey and cade were just chilling. here is a picture of me and cade:



and here is one of dawn and bailey:



along with eating a delish breakfast, jes also got to practice her ninja skills. at one point bailey fell off his booster seat and jes totally caught him. were were all like "DUDE." it was pretty cool. i think we spent the rest of sunday studying and then going out to eat with jes's folks to wahoo, it was divine.

on monday, my actual bday, i worked, then taught, then jes and i had salads and then went to watch "weeds" at sarah and kims. that fucking show makes me BONKERS but i love it and i especially love watching it with sarah and kim. it's hilarious.

ok my laundry needs to be moved. more on birthdays later.

By the way, Kristina and I tried to tell the jodie foster story to Diana and Nicco on the drive to the mountains and it didn't work as well. Lucky for us, JF + Harley + secret service always equals entertainment... Thanks for all the Libra magic!!!
