birthday

i am blogging while watching "intervention" on tivo
this show makes me never want to do drugs or drink ever again
for reals
it is stunning what folks do for the addicts in their life
i know i don't understand it because its not my life, but seriously. i don't understand it.

anywho, on to happier things: jes's bday.
on the night of her bday, jes and i went and got this delicious tapas dinner
i mean seriously everything was so good.
i really liked the patatas bravas with romesco sauce
and of course i loved the olives (aceitunas) and roasted almonds.
their sangria was really good too.

after dinner, we went over to emma and kristina's to hang out with some folks, eat some cupcakes and play wii
it was so much fun. first of all, they have this really amazing house. and it is all set up so nice and pretty.
they put up streamers all over the house and bought these really cute pirate candles for the cupcakes.
here is a picture of some folks before the wii smackdown began:



christina and jes were up first with boxing. they both did an outstanding job.
both were old pros at it, so it was a pretty close fight. i don't remember who won, but here is a picture of them going at it:



now emma, kristina, dawn and nikki had not yet played wii. jes, christina and i were pros (and by pros i mean we have played before). nikki and emma either boxed or played tennis, either way, here they are working it out. i love how intense they both look:



most of us were sweating, and all of us were sore the next day, but a good time was had by all. here is a picture of the gang. what a good looking bunch, no?



big thanks to emma and kristina for letting us play at their house
it was so much fun
ok its getting late and i need to stop looking at this computer.

tomorrow is our six year anniversary.
can you believe it? i have been in love with jes for SIX YEARS!
i am so lucky.
