Last Thursday I turned 25--yes, I am now a quarter-of-a-century old, and yes, I was really having a hard time about it. I am feeling way better now. :) Have you ever had a whole day that just felt perfect? That was my birthday. I got to sleep until 8:30 when Rebecca and I got up. I was able to get all ready for the day, make-up included; bathe, feed, and dress Rebecca; and even make some oatmeal before Steven got up at 9:30. The kids and I spent the morning together playing and reading books. My mother-in-law came a couple hours later and we headed off to Costco. I love that place! After a successful shopping spree we picked up Adam (who had finished work early) and went to McConnel's ice cream. It is a small, Santa Barbara based ice cream company that is sooo amazing.
In the evening Adam and I were able to go on a date--our first one since Rebecca was born!!! (Thanks, Mom Hall for watching our cuties!) We went on an awesome boat ride, it was called the "Sunset Cruise," and it was a two hour ride out to sea and up and down the Santa Barbara coast. It was so beautiful! We picked up dinner at California Pizza Kitchen (one of our favorites), then headed out to the boat. We were out on the water while the sun set, and it was so amazing to see the city lit up. Right before the boat left, we saw our friends the Hulmes--random. We told them they should buy some tickets and join us, and they totally did!!! Yay for friends who are spontanious and fun! And we totally owe a huge thanks to Adam's brother Matthew. He drew my name for Christmas gifts last year, and the tickets for the cruise were actually from him! Had it not been for his awesome gift-finding, we totally would never have done such an awesome thing. He lives in Texas, yet he still managed to find something exciting and ten minutes away from us that we totally missed! The evening really was perfect.
