Once a year..

Dave is 25 today!

I decorated the apartment on Thursday.. I didn't want to wait until today to do it, as I am TERRIBLE at surprises & knew that I would ruin it. Friday we went out to eat-- Saturday we went to a birthday cookout for him & his brothers house.

I made signs like this and hung them all around the apartment.

There were about 100 balloons on the floor.. I tried to make it 150, but I think I died about 18 times and had to stop at 100.

Yummmmmy Ukrops cake. (Nice and manly too with the roses, right?) I know there are not 25 candles on the cake..but he didn't notice!

<3>

I wanted to take him to a Redskins game..but he is all about saving money. We are planning on buying a house in 2009 so we "need to save"..What is it about men and their lack of desire to spend money?!?

Candy Corn & Costumes

(I carved the star pumpkin last year)
Halloween is just around the corner.
We are going to a costume party hosted by my friends from college.
BUT we need to figure out our costume..

Here are the top ideas:

• Mom & Milkman
  "Mom" dressed in regular clothes, but "pregnant"
  "Milkman" dressed in all white clothes carrying a milk carton
• Gold Digger & Mr. Money Bags
  Gold digger in gold dress - spray paint small shovels (like kid sandle pails) and make a necklace..big rings, fancy..
  Mr. Money Bags - Nicely dressed with glittery dollar signs
• Beauty & the Geek

What is your vote??

Catch-All

Birthday Stuff!

Dave got me two gift cards: for Target & Kohls (he doesn't suck at presents, it's what I asked for). I lovvee both of those stores. I still have SO much money to spend at both places so this was step 1 of my birthday gifts. The brown thing is a really cool thing to put my laptop on if I want to work from the couch, it keeps it so I don't have to look down and hurt my neck.
Lovely Lizzz got me these wonderful gifts!
I have already used the lotions & bath stuff.. Thanks Liz!
Instead of going to Red Lobster, I decided I wanted to go to a Japanese Steak House. (which is like tied to RedLobster with my love, but I didn't know there was one close by, but there was!!) It was a lottt of fun. Two things from this picture...1-i'm not that white. 2--my arm is not that fat. k? Thanks.

& as I promised...

A few shots around my house:

We're going to my favvvvorite restaurant, Red Lobster.

Crab Legs, here I come..
Our apartment is finally coming together!
We have the couches coming on Tuesday..and then I will post pictures!

Have a GREAT weekend!
