The month of March

So I started the month off with a free stack of pancakes from IHOP. I went with Jenna and Jen. It was really fun. I made a goal to myself that I would try my hardest over the next couple of years to become debt free. It is going to be hard but I think it will be great to be out of debt. Then I had my birthday dinner with my mom, aunts and cousins (which is detail below). On March 14 I celebrate Pi day with Jen, Jenna and Lacey. We had circular foods such as pizza, cucumbers, oranges, carrots, cookies and even a pie. It was a fun day! That thursday we celebrated St. Patricks day with my kids at school and they loved having to hunt for their pot of gold that the leprachaun left them. That night I had a green dinner with Jen and Jenna. It was fun and yummy. We watched Mad Money. So far so good for the month of March. On Monday March 21st I went to my friend Kim's house to celebrate her birthday with her and her family. We had a nice little dinner and it was fun to celebrate with her. That thursday we celebrated her husbands birthday with a 6 course meal like they do in France. It was a mixed up dinner which made it fun to see what people would get on their different courses. That weekend I went home because my Aunt Terri was in the ICU after undergoing surgery to remove a blood clot on her brain. Since then she is still there but slowly making progress. :) That is good! We hope that she opens her eyes soon. I got sick at the end of the month or beginning of april. I can't remember. Anyways it sucked. But April has been treating me pretty good as well. I will update again soon. I have spring break in one week! I'm stoked!!!!!!

Birthday dinner at Tuscany

So back up to March 5th. This day was a fun filled day with my aunts, my mother and cousin. My aunt Kim came up from Texas and was going to treat my cousin, Morgan, and I to a nice dinner at Tuscany. In the morning wewent shopping and called my mom in Idaho to see if she would come down and go with us. After shopping with my aunts, I went wedding dress shopping with Janora, Kris, and Kris' daughter. We had a great time and found Janora's dress. After shopping I met everyone at my aunt's house and we all went to Tuscany.

To start off we all piled into Uncle Mike's new car and Morgan commented that it was like a clown car because we, my mother, Morgan and I, were all squished in the back seat. As we were driving there, Aunt Katherine was speeding and blasting music and we were all having a great time. We valet parked the car and went into enjoy our dinner. We were able to sit at the table right by the fire place. It was perfect!! We wouldn't have been able to get that table if my mom hadn't come down...so thanks mom!!!!

Our menus were the coolest thing ever! They lit up when we opened them. As the waitress was telling us about the specials, Aunt Katherine started to open her menu and her face got really big because it lit up. We all took pictures of each other with really excited faces when we opened them...haha it was so fun. Aunt Katherine popped a gum bubble as we were sitting there and Aunt Kim looked at her and said Katherine! So what does she do? Puts the gum underneath her spot at the table! Haha, we were all surprised!

Aunt Kim ordered everyone a fancy drink with champagne and cherry something and I got a shirley temple so that I was included. Thank Aunt Kim!!! We got yummy appetizers and yummy bread. Aunt Katherine was getting a "small" piece and she pulled out the whole middle of the loaf. She was on a roll...seriously! Priceless!! Our food was so yummy! I had a yummy pasta dish! I enjoyed every last bite of it.

While we were all letting our dinne settle and finishing the rest of the meal, Aunt Katherine went to the bathroom and came back and said she went to the bridal room. A minute later she pulled a used "footie" out of her pocket and some people at the table thought it was something other than a used footie. She is such a funny lady. The best part of the time at Tuscany was when they brought out surprise desserts for Morgan and I. My mom, aunt Kim and aunt Katherine all sang Happy Birthday to us but sang it really softly. Morgan and I were busting up laughing because they bent in towards the table and had such excited happy faces and then started singing softly. It took us a while to compose ourselves. The dessert was delicious! I loved it and the entire night.

On the way home we continued to jam out to classic rock in the car. We were laughing about something and my aunt Katherine says from the front seat, "I really need to pee I think I ned a pantiliner." Immediatley Morgan and I began posting our statuses on facebook relaying our fantastic night and funny liners and people said. We then continued to comment on each other's statuses as well as my mother and aunt kim. What a wondeful night! It was one of the best nights I have had with all of the ladies of my life. Thanks for a wonderful birthday dinner aunt kim!

Here are pictures from the evening!
