bday fun!

with everything that has been going on, i kinda almost forgot that my birthday was coming.  we've been dealing with the move and our house in temecula and then all of a sudden...bam...september 30th was here!  i had to work of course, but it was a beautiful, hot, sunny day in san clemente.  i got to bring shelby into work with me and everyone at work signed a birthday card for me.  it was really sweet.  and my boss got me one of those 'lucky' bamboo deals to put on my desk.  i haven't really had a chance to make my desk my own yet, but this will be the start.  now i gotta bring in a few pix of the family and i'll be settled in.  

since my birthday was in the middle of the week, we didn't do to much to celebrate.  but my wonderful hubby did make me dinner (artichokes, cheese-stuffed chicken, and rice)!  it was really good and i was really full afterward.  that's a lot of food for two people!  i opened a couple gifts and got some really cool flameless candles and a personalized apron from my mother-in-law.  it really is 'kirstin's kitchen.'  i received a few cards with money...it always fits!  and mike got me my very first ipod!!!  we have the computer already and now i have my accessory.  

it's funny, because i've actually been putting off working out and/or running to train for the rock 'n roll marathon next june because i didn't have an ipod to listen to music.  excuses, excuses.  shame on me.  but now that i have my ipod, i guess i'll have to get on a training schedule.  whitney and i are still trying to figure out how to train together, but apart.  we'll see.  btw, if anyone has any marathon training schedules starting from...hmmm...oct, nov, dec, jan.....let's see....8 months before the race, let me know.  

thank you to everyone for all the bday wishes and i promise i will post pictures of our new place soon.  i need to take pictures during the day and i keep forgetting until it's too dark outside...sorry...:)
