Birthday Celebrations and a lesson learned

29 on March 7th

I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends and amazing family to celebrate my 29th birthday this year. It started out on wednesday when my good friend Racheal C had made me a cake for our lunch/play date which was way too nice of her to do. On Friday my family came from Vancouver to help celebrate my birthday on March 7th. Chad had arranged my mom and I to go see a movie but we thought "what is better than a movie right now?" New shoes and lunch at Panera. We had a great time catching up and not to mention got way cute shoes.

Claim Jumpers
That night we went to Claim Jumpers with my family, cousins, and one of my bestest friends Charise and her hubby Chris. Mom of course had little games for the kids to play while waiting and birthday glasses for everyone, she is hilarious.

The celebration continued on Monday thanks to some very good friends of mine who did a fun party with a delicious cake made by Laurie. Thanks girls I love you all...

"A Lesson Learned"
As I was driving today in Seattle I noticed a cop and quickly hung up, but not fast enough I guess, because I was soon after pulled over. When the cop came to my window I was already in tears (usually it works) not this time. He asked me if I knew why I was pulled over but I wasn't exactly sure besides talking on the phone. He had told me to look at my license and I noticed that it had expired on my birthday which was 5 days prior. He then went back to his car for a long time and came back with a ticket that is for $550.00 by then I was shaking and he said "I am going to look the other way on the cell phone and also the fact that you are technically driving with NO license." So immediately I went to the DOL and renewed it. I now have a court date to get it dismissed wish me luck... It was a very long day and definetly a lesson learned...

Looks like you guys had fun on your birthday. I hope it was a good one. I thought about you, but didn't have the internet yet to wish you a happy birthday.

Ouch on the $550 ticket! Good luck with that.

Happy Birthday!

That sucks about the ticket. I just got a new license a day before my birthday. $550 can buy you a lot of shoes so hopefully you can get it dismissed.

looks like you guys had a great birthday. Wish we could have been there to celebrate with you.
Leave it to you to be pulled over like that. It made me laugh I think something like that would only happen to you:)

I'm so sorry! It was very sad when you called in tears and you'd had a horrible day and your phone was almost dead on top of everything else. I wish I could have helped.
Glad to hear your birthdays were so fun! You guys deserve some things to smile about!
