My 29th Birthday :-)

Well one more year till the big 3-0! I had a wonderful birthday this year. It fell in Victoria Day of the long weekend and so I had 3 days to celebrate. May 24, 1981 is also Brian's really good friend Vince's birthday so we celebrated our 29th birthdays together. We went to Koutouki which is an awesome Greek restaurant here in Saskatoon. Brian and I ordered the Meza where they brought us samples of many, many Greek appetizers and entrees. It was really good food and a fun atmosphere. There were about 14 of us at supper. It was a lot of fun to visit and eat and Vince and I (and some of the other guys at the table who may have found the belly dancer attractive...haha) got to belly dance! I did not find it that fun or amusing as I had just walked in the door and it was pouring rain out and all I wanted was to sit for a minute and compose and drink my wine but alas I danced :-) When we were ready to leave, we both got to break a plate on the floor while yelling Opa! (a Greek tradition). After dinner we were ready to go out. We went to a piano bar downtown called Staqqato and it was great. I had a few friends and my brother come and go throughout the night and had a lot of fun visiting with them. Monday was my actual birthday and Brian and I drove to Tisdale to have a BBQ with my Mom. We brought steak, shrimp and corn and had a delicious BBQ with family and friends. It was a beautiful day out for it which was nice because it had rained for the rest of the weekend! It was a quick trip but was really nice to spend some time with Mom. It was funny because I got calls from people for my birthday but as I was gone I did not get them! I just want to thank Crystal, Jody, Angie, Amber, Ashley, Erin,Jenelle and Lucille and Carl for your calls and/or cards. I really appreciated it and I am sorry I missed you when you called! For those who I saw thank you for coming to the birthday party! Mom and Brian, thank you for the wonderful day together:-) xoxo
