Birthday Week!

Birthday week was fabulous as always. And being my last year of my 20's makes this a big year! I had a great idea to layout by the pool while Matt was at work. I thought, since I have not received much of a tan that it would be a great idea to lay out, just 30 minutes a side, with no sun block. Ignoring the fact that we are a mile closer to the sun, I did just that. Well I got ready for the day and was feeling great. About 5 hours later I started to get hot and itch. I looked at my skin and realized I had a terrible sun burn. Ug. It took over a week to peel and heal.

Birthdays are a big deal in the marketing group at work. The marketing team seems to extend it's creativity beyond daily work. I knew coming into work the Friday before my birthday would be nothing but epic. I arrive to my desk with streamers hanging from the ceiling all throughout my office cube. A banner wrapped from the inside out that said, "no ordinary party" with Twilight characters wrapped into it. On my desk laid an envelope with a card from, you guessed it, Edward himself! Apparently he snuck into our office before the sun came up to leave me a card with earrings! It was fabulous!

More of the decor in my cube included a party centerpiece of the Twilight cast!

One of the gift from my office included this character called a FOOMI, which is to be transformed by the owner with drawing and decorations. I am still trying to figure out how I will create my FOOMI!

I brought into the office that morning the roses Matt had given to me as a gift. The roses were a perfect color to fit with my Twilight napkins! The napkins were covering my office desk and were perfect for the homemade Lemon Meringue Pie that one of my coworkers slaved away on just for me! It was fabulous!

The team also presented me with a new coffee mug, custom decorated by them, with all my favorite cartoons!

This photo above is really the only semi clear pic I was able to take at the Rock concert I decided I wanted to attend for my birthday! Rockstar Mayhem Music Festival included Megadeath, Godsmack, and Disturbed. It was awesome!!! And HOT out!

This is my brand new mini seat belt purse from Matt! I love it!!!!! I have been eyeing this ever since we found a local store that happens to carry this brand. This is a rare find!! Every time we go to the store I drool! I was so excited when Matt gifted it to me!!

And with all my years of complaints on my lack of bling, Matt was so sweet and got me some new BLING!

And we did make it to a Rockies game. Rain and all we had a great time. It was a wonderful birthday week. Thank you to all my friends and family for the birthday cards, gifts, and wishes! WOOHOO, 29 and doing great!
