another year older. and this time, i didn't get carded.

today was my birthday. last week was nick's birthday. tonight, we celebrated with friends. we got to the eating establishment in plenty of time to hold our table for 14. but still, they made us wait. and wait. and wait. so, P and i sat on this bench.

we finally got to sit down and everyone ordered food. after dinner, nick and i got birthday desserts and the happy birthday to you song. rob was going to take a picture of us blowing out my candle. nick blew it out before i could get to it. i was mad. he thought it was pretty great.

here's a shot of the guys looking like j. crew models. at least all of them save the one who wore his k-state windbreaker. how dare you, mark!

my friend lindsay and i like to pose with our tongues out. here's a great one.

i love my neighbors/friends/coworker/coworker's wife. it's a complicated relationship. more to love, right?

more pics around the table. no, sarah and i did not color coordinate. yes, i did wear k-state colors. again. but not because i wanted to. according to some people, i am a "winter," which means bright solid deep colors look good on me. or something like that. anyway, i like to wear purple.

here i am with those two crazy kids who just got married. guess that means tim is my brother. that's fine. it's just strange to call him amy's husband. i'll get used to it though because he's pretty great.

and there we are, the birthday kids. bet you can't guess who is the oldest.


until next year. happy birthday to us.
