Happy Birthday to ME and Happy 5 yr anniversary!

Golly day it's been a busy and super fun week!   Dinners, presents (handmade!!), crafting, drinks, hugs, AND my husband's band Gringo played Saturday night, whew!

I have photos but the festivities must go on as today is the culmination of our 7 day celebration and I have yet to shower.

August 5th 2006

I love this photo of us- it's been such a wonderful experience to grow with another person and through that gain patience and a deeper understanding of a loved one and ultimately yourself.

Now here's me just being pretty:

Birthday Girl!

Happy Birthday!

I spent my first half hour of the day, fueled by a coconut iced coffee, making this happy birthday bunting.  As the place is already pretty festive with a giant piñata hanging from the vaulted ceiling and tons of strands of christmas lights, i made a simple hanging to inform everyone of this grandeur occasion.  Maybe we'll even get some strangers leaving gifts of 6-packs at our door.

I didnt have construction paper but was able to wrangle a random blue sheet of cardstock

Today my husband turns 38 yrs old; in two days we celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, and two days after that is MY birthday.  We're kicking off the 7 day extravaganza with an afternoon crafting each other's cards and gifts.   I've already got the best idea for a pop-up card and made some sketches last night!

I love the way he looks in my jewelry:
