Happy Birthday to Us....

When Kent and I went on our first date we discovered that we have the same birthday, January 24th. I love that I am 4 years younger, but what I love even more, is sharing our special day together. I am not good at being the center of attention or celebration so this is perfect for me; we can share the spotlight together. Our first birthday together we had a huge party. Our house was packed with over 60 people and it was crazy fun. I even hired a Neil Diamond impersonator as he also shares our birthday. It was a fabulous blast and reconfirmed we were on the path to spend many more birthdays together.

Our first birthday together. Try to ignore the crazy fur wrap I was sporting!

Our 2nd birthday celebration was low key as we went to Mexico for 6 days and had a blast. Sun, beach, books, beers, and tons of laughter. The most perfect idea of seeing some sunshine in late January will probably be on our list of to-do's for many years.

This was our 3rd celebration and it was great. We are saving our money for Italy so there was no pressure of having to throw a party or purchase gifts for one another. That morning we woke up and went to my trainer Chris's spin class. We went overboard and I felt sick for a few hours. We are still doing great on our fitness/diet plan and I was proud of us for getting up and pushing ourselves. We later went and had an amazing lunch in the Pike Place Market at a little French place. The meal was yummy, but really rich, so I felt a little sick for the rest of the day. It was worth it though and just another reminder by my body that I have a sensitive system! We later went and had a drink up on Capitol Hill and then on to a friends house for game night and dinner. The following day we had brunch with friends and then off to my parents house for dinner. I had such a fun week-end and I loved sharing it with my man!
