Birthday in a Nutshell

My birthday came and went exactly how I wanted it… quietly.  As a result, I was really able to relax and enjoy some time with Stephen.  He was sweet and bought me too many gifts.  I gave him a few hints and he bought them all.  Spoiled much?  He bought me a wall sconce I had my eye on, the PC game Spore (Galactic Edition), and an electric gridle.  Nice.

Stephen and I had dinner with my sister and her husband the next day at a hibachi steakhouse.  Yum!  They gave me a cookbook about how to fix cooking mistakes (or make use of dried out meats and such).  I haven’t gotten a gift from my parents yet… that will come to me at our family dinner at the end of the month.  They did give me a card but I am not sure what to think of it.  You can see for yourself in the pictures below.
