My 26th Birthday!

We recently celebrated my birthday (Dec. 27th, though we tend to spend at least 3 days on birthday stuff in this house) with a few presents, a wonderful meal out, and lots of simple, casual, happy-fun time.

Dan took me to Amor de Brazil, a Brazilian steakhouse. Now, for all my veggie-eating friends... you do NOT want to go to one of these. But, for us meat-a-tarians, it's a little slice of heaven. Served on a big Brazilian sword. By a gaucho. It was wonderful.

As for presents, I got an audible.com account and some ShamWOW's from Dan. (I wanted a ShamWOW soooooo badly... it's hilarious and amazing!!! "You'll say WOW every time!" And we do.) The audible account was so thoughtful, too! I have a lot of books to read for classes in my next (and LAST) semester, and now I can listen to them as audiobooks! Such a clever wonderful boy. :-) And my mom, the generous soul, got me the WHOLE Rosetta Stone set in Japanese! It's a wonderful present, since I can't take any more traditional language classes with my remaining schedule.

So, now I'm 26! It's not a nice, round number like 25, but I suppose it'll do. For a year, at least. Thanks to all those who made this year really special!
