Birthday weekend

I hit 23 years this past Saturday (the 30th of Oct), and it was a good one. First of all, I had some delicious cheese cake with cherry topping, courtesy of my awesome wife.



And despite being 23, I can't keep in my excitement when I see a present that I've been looking for since getting married.



It's an ice cream spade! These things make scooping ice cream a pleasure, and this spade has anti-freeze in the handle, so it keeps the ice cream from sticking. It's awesome.



Look at this sweet pumpkin. I wonder what incredibly talented and clever people sculpted it. Oh wait....yeah... it was us. In all seriousness, it's a simple design, and took us about two hours.





We were going for spooky, and I think we nailed it.

Halloween weekend was fantastic. We were able to accomplish a good bit, and to finish off my birthday we went to outback! I love that place. We had some gift cards as well, so we ordered an appetizer, I got soup, and a full rack of ribs. Tack on the free bread and honey butter they gave us, and my free dessert for turning 23, and our table looked like there should have been another couple there. It was great. Operation: Super B-Day was a huge success.
