My Birthday Weekend!

Some of you may know that I hate my birthday! I don't post it on face book, most years I forget it is here. I have even asked someone the date before on my birthday. 'D' LOVES his birthday and thinks it should be celebrated all month long..... SO he thinks mine should be too. So here is my birthday story..... minus protesting drama and other obstacles. We had to pay a few extra bills and bought i-phones at the same time.  There wasn't much money in the bank to go away someone! I wanted that.....hide from the world! Here is what we did for the weekend!
After a few tears and protesting.... here we go.
Derrick planned all of the following and despite his normal....stick to a schedule..... He let me dottle between planned activities!

Friday.....On the back of Weber State's sports tickets there is a deal that no one ever uses. $75 for dinner and a hotel stay at the Marriot.... the Marriot is not far from our house, it was still fun! And they let us get whatever we wanted off the menu.... that was $75 alone! They supposedly let him check in at like 1pm and he had roses and chocolate for me (not a chocolate fan but what else goes with roses!)

Rib Eye Stake with Clam Chowder Soup!

Meatloaf w/ yummy cheesy potato things!

Saturday....... Check out was at noon.... I slept in til humanly possible! Off shopping we went! I wanted to make my own birthday cake but I needed the right things! We went to kitchen Needs, bought a few things! Went to Macey's, bought ingredients. My favorite part of the day..... we stopped at our favorite ghetto thrift store.... We have one bowling ball that is Derrick's, I wanted one too! We found another one for $4 and it was 8lbs and the finger holes were big enough for my chubby fingers! I have also been dying for my own hockey skates..... Yep they had a boys size there that fit me! YIPPIE Hockey skates are really wide so they fit my feet comfortably! They were only $4 too! SCORE! HB to me! We finally made it to Joann Fabrics to buy me a few things to make my cake. My parents gave me birthday money and I spent it on cake stuff...
We took all of our stuff home and Derrick took me ice skating. Somehow I fell over my feet down the stairs outside the ice skating rink..... I have no idea how I did this but I just laid upside down these stairs. Derrick didn't even notice until I was crying limping towards him... My ankle killed! He insisted we still skate because I had new hockey skates.... I didn't last long!

The front of my ankle actual got scraped on the step down from where I tripped... I had to be on my tummy for this to happen! 

We went to the Junction and played mini golf, bowled with my new ball, bumper cars, and ate these yummy cinnamon and sugar bread twists on a stick! What a fun night!

Geez.... no wonder my back hurt later... Holy bad posture!

Seriously way FUN!

I broke 50! j/k It has been a while!

My new ball and Derrick's Dexter's Lab..... both thrift store finds! 

D's parents were going to take us out to dinner but they had a wedding reception to go to, so they gave us money to go out to eat! Thank you Good Wood for delicious B-day dessert!

When we got home I made the first half of my cake.... I was making a layed Red Velvet cake with cheese cake in the center! YUM YUM! I made the cheese cake, then Sunday I made the red velvet and then put them both together!

Should have used a little more red dye!

My first REAL cake..... 

Sunday........... My sister Laura made me a yummy dinner when we got home from church.

My birthday weekend/week was wonderful! My parents took us out to eat Monday night too! 

Thanks to my SWEETHEART I had a wonderful birthday! 

I have an idea for next year.... D's birthday is in January mine in November, is it a bad idea to have something fun together in December? December is also our half-annaversery too... maybe we could go out of town... Still have cake and a present on our actual birthday.... Doing something big twice within 2 1/2 months seems a little impractical.. Any thoughts.
