Birthday Girl


Aargh! It was my 29th birthday on the 2nd. I have to say that it wasn't a birthday that I was looking forward to. And I think the big 3-0 will be worse. I can talk about that more later, but I'm trying to stay positive.

My day consisted of sleeping in, watching a movie at home in the afternoon and having an hour and a half to shower, shave and get ready for my date. Jonathan borrowed a Toyota Solaris convertible for our date. We went to The Spice and had some really great food. Then we just cruised around in the great weather with the top down. It was a great evening.


About the bruise: Mark, the youth pastor, was driving a 15-passenger van in MN. I was his co-pilate for the 45-minute drive to Pizza Ranch and the students were dozing in the back. We thought it would be funny to pretend to hit a deer and scare them awake. Mark yelled, "DEER!!" and swerved the van. I pounded on the top of the van twice just to really get their attention. The next day my forearm hurt and I noticed it was bruising. It got really bad by that evening...two big black bruises. I got them on Sunday and when this picture was taken it was Thursday...4 days later and they're healing nicely. At that brown/highlighter stage. Very attractive.
