I don't know how most people do it, but in my house we have birthday months, not days. Well ok, I guess just I do. Still, October is officially mine. And this year, was the best birthday month yet.
We FINALLY got our house!!! Steven and his buddy installing new locks to keep the hobos out. I promise I will post pictures of our house... but they will be "before and after" ones. So you all might appreciate the work we have put into the dang thing.
I got lotsa birthday parties! Well, they might have actually been bridal showers. Still, I told my mother I was glad everyone was finally recognizing my birthday properly.
Steven and I's match-making sisters being all cutesy at my bridal shower...
Little sister Aimee got to go to homecoming. That made me feel old.
Little brother Sam celebrating halloween all month long by dressing up as Captain Jack.
I finally got to meet my BFF-since-kindergarten-Tara-Woofus' husband, Karly-face. Who'da every thought we'd actually grow up one day? Not our parents for sure.
Other BFF-since-birth-cousin-Kamille got her mission call to France!
Steven took me to Tucanos for dinner at the gateway AND shopping for clothes. What a sport.
And finally... the day of my actual birth!
My snuffle-up-iggins Charlie aka "Chuck" begging for some sourdough pancake tastiness at breakfast.
With Mama and Grandmama gettin' a pedicure from the best in the biz.
Dinner at the Mandarin, then home for cake and ice cream!
I was spoiled beyond belief this year. I get a husband, a house, a wedding, a new iphone, AND turquoise sperry's from soon-to-be mama and pappa collins. See? SPOILED. Best birthday ever.
p.s. just wait till you see mine and steven's halloween costumes...
