This year my birthday fell on Easter Sunday, which I normally get to spend with my family, but since I was just in Detroit and Alex had to leave for England today, we decided to stay in Indiana. Even though I wasn't born on an Easter Sunday, my parents gave me a very Easter-like name, as Anne Renee means Grace Reborn.
When it comes to birthdays, I'm pretty simple and don't really need much. Even though I love giving gifts, I'd much rather have a new experience or spend time doing something I love with the people I love. So yesterday was pretty much a day to indulge in the things that I usually don't get to do, with my husband. I spent the morning on a texture hunt with my 1979 OM10 (born the same year I was) and some saturated UC film for a future personal project...
Then we had Thai for lunch.... Chicken Pad See-ew is my favorite! Yummmay!
With a little hot tea, thai roll, and plumb sauce..
Then we met up with our friend Dan for dessert and drinks at Friday's followed by a relaxed evening at home watching movies. We also went to see Blades of Glory on Saturday, which was quite hilarious!! Interestingly, the Hottie Birthday ballooon left over as a joke from Alex's birthday (March 14th) stayed inflated all the way until it was my birthday too!! These guys really know how to hang in there for a girl! HA! ;-)
