I had a bittersweet day on Saturday. Although it was my birthday (one of my favorite days of the year) I also turned the ripe old age of 25. I didn't think it would bother me as much as it has but I'm learning to survive. Step 1: Start wrinkle cream every day. Check.
Saturday started with my Mom, Sadie and I running to Sam's Club, Gander Mountain and Kohl's to find wedding things and birthday presents. Our first mission was to find beverage dispensers for the coffee, lemonade and water. And we found all three at Sam's.
We got two of these dispensers, one for lemonade and one for water at $20 a pop! Score. We also found a coffee dispenser for any coffee drinkers we may have at the wedding. And as my Mom says, "We'll have it for graduation parties, showers and anyone else who wants to borrow it in the future". Thank goodness! :)
At Gander I got a hiking pack that looks like a backwards fanny pack. Now I'll be able to carry my bear spray on our hikes at all times! Next was Kohl's and I found serving plates to use for our cheesecakes!
We picked up three of these and plan on cascading them down from one another by using our birch logs at varying heights. I went with this shape rather than the square plates because I feel like it will 1) save us room on the limited table space we'll have and 2) they'll fit more cheesecake than the dinner plate. Needless to say, shopping was a success.
Saturday finished off with a delicious family meal and family over to help me celebrate my birth. Oh and the UMD Bulldogs trampled the U of M Gophers during the hockey game - double plus! Poor Joe was the only Gopher fan in the room. Speaking of Joe, he surprised me with a birthday present! I thought my car starter was my Christmas and Birthday present but I was fooled! Joe got me the Adobe Photoshop Elements software with the "missing manual" that doesn't come with it! I was so shocked! I have always wanted to learn how to edit my photography work and now I have the ultimate photo software. We're also going to design our own invites now that we have the skills. Well, I lied on the skills part. I have to learn the skills but I'm still super excited! What a guy that Joe is:) He makes my heart go pitter patter.
In other news, the superbowl did not go as I had hoped. But the commercials and company I was surrounded with made a great end to the birthday weekend. Here's a clip of my favorite commercial from the night. Well at least one of them:)
