I must say there's nothing in particular that's exciting about turning the age of 24. So this year's birthday wasn't a "big" one. However, I did manage to do some fun things. Tyler had to work a little late, but my mom graciously agreed to watch both the boys so I could have a day off. It was so nice of her! I was able to do some shopping for myself, Easter shopping for the boys, watch a movie, and do some luxurious primping before picking Tyler up from work to go to dinner. (Also, Saturday my mom got me a pedicure. Very nice!)
I was in the mood for fish... and seeing as how Tyler was going to come home from work late and I didn't want our house to SMELL like fish I told him we should go out. We decided on McGrath's Fish house.
The service was wonderful. I got the New Orleans Catfish and Tyler ordered a Parmesan Halibut. I liked my fish okay, it wasn't what I expected but I didn't hate it. Our wonderful waitress, however, noticed I didn't eat much and offered to get me something else on the house. In all honesty, I filled up on my strawberry lemonade, salad, and bread before dinner even came. I insisted that I couldn't eat anymore, which was completely true. She reluctantly left us to get the bill at which point I exited to the bathroom. When I came back Tyler told me she didn't charge us for my dinner because she could tell I didn't like it. Talk about great service. Needless to say Tyler, in return, left her a big tip.. although she deserved one anyways. So I got a free birthday dinner.
We actually picked up Braxton that night to come home with us, since he was getting over RSV (respitory synicitial virus). Saturday morning I was able to sleep in a little and then I got my birthday present. One I was very excited about.... a new CAMERA. I LOVE it. The digital camera we've had is very basic and we bought it fro Target after we first got married just so I could take pictures for my internship. It is only 4 mega pixels and has a whopping 3X's optical zoom. (Like I said, VERY basic) We've been looking to upgrade for a while now... and with Braxton changing everyday we decided that we needed a camera that also took video with sound (as our current camera didn't allow for sound).
Now I am the proud owner of a new Panasonic Z5 digital camera that also takes video in HD. It is wonderful... and there are still settings that I'm learning to use, but thus far it's been great! Now I'm able to capture so much more quality in my photos. All in all we spent a little more than we wanted, but for what we got.... it was worth every penny. After all, if I was able to make our pathetic previous camera work for us for 4 years, this one should last 10!
Thanks to my parents and Tyler, my Birthday was a success!
