Amy's 31st Birthday!

Well yesterday was my 31st birthday (Gag)! I can't believe I am that old already. Ryan and I met up Chris & Nicole and Brad and Misty (along with their entourage of children) at Red Lobster for lunch. We were so excited to be together again. After lunch we went to Nic's for cake and gifts and ended up staying all day! I'm sure they were sick of us, but we just haven't had the opportunity to be together that much this summer. Anyway, I got some awesome gifts that I don't really have pictures of because I didn't bring my camera so just create your own visual images. Here is a small recap of our afternoon (after we opened the gifts):

• Nichole puckers her lips after tasting the Key-lime cheesecake
• Luke toots and smiles
• Brad throws money at Misty after she asks for a new belt (he was trying to be nice?)
• The girls take turns singing old school rap ("I got five on it", "regulators", "genuine pony", "automobile", "The humpty dance", etc.)
• The men become so entranced with the storm that they drag out camping chairs and watch the show
• Chloe accidentally wakes up Luke and she starts crying b/c Brad tells her to look at Nichole's face
• Misty waddles like a duck/old lady as she leaves
• Finally, we leave (poor Chris and Nic had to put up with us all day)

After all of that, Ryan and I still had a birthday dinner to attend with my fam. We ate at Giovanni's in Montgomery and had a great time with everyone. After dinner we went to mom's for birthday dump cake. Mmm....mmm, I love all of that butter on the cake!

Overall I had a great birthday and I am happy to report that I successfully gained 3 pounds yesterday! Whoohoo....Not! Thanks to everyone that helped me enjoy my day and I loved all of gifts and time spent with you all.

Here are some pics from the day that I stole off of Nichole's Blog. Eventually I will get better at using my camera......maybe!

Me and Ryan at Red Lobster-I look like crap.

Aww, he will be a great daddy one day!

What's over there dad?

Misty, Brad, Chloe and Luke

Time for presents!

Our Acapulco Trip

The view from Sergio's apartment was beautiful!




We went out on Sergio's 100 foot yacht for the day!






Marsha and I sunbathing on the front of the yacht.





Ryan jumping off the 2nd story of the yacht.





I'm the queen of the world...dang that is one big booty!





Me and Serge acting silly!





Our first night out.


Marsha, Ryan and I went to Acapulco last week for 10 days! We flew into Mexico City and saw a few tourist sites before heading off to Acapulco. We were so lucky to have a local tour guide in our friend Sergio. Marsha and I hadn't seen him in 10 years so it was time to catch up....in style! We had a blast and it will definitely be a vacation to remember!

Amy....a blogger???

Well the virgin blogger is climbing aboard! For the past two years I have been fighting the urge to start a blog. Primarily because I am horrible at keeping up with anything that has to do with the Internet. Just ask my family, I only check my e-mail every 2 weeks or so! It is terrible I know so I am going to try and do better at this blogging thing. NO GUARANTEE'S THOUGH!! If my school district would allow me on the site, I think I would do a great job. Ha, imagine that a teacher who blogs all day. I totally understand why it is blocked! Anyway, there are 3 weeks left until I start school again, so much like my old "My Space" page, this could be an every so often type of addiction. You know, summer, labor day, Columbus day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc... Anyway, here I am and hopefully I'll stay a while!
