Saturday night we headed to our first annual neighborhood cookout! We just moved to our house in March, so we really didn't know many of the neighbors. We met so many sweet neighbors and I'm excited about getting to know everyone. We all decided to get together at least once a year to do this again! And we found out that our neighbors who live caddy corner to us have been going to our church for a couple months and we didn't even know it! We ate yummy food again and had a great time meeting everyone. Our good friends, who are also our neighbors across the street, came over afterwards for game night! We really enjoy game night with Curtis and Leah. We put Caden to bed and stayed up way to late playing Battle of the Sexes, and of course, us girls won! God is so good. I am reminded of his wonderful grace and blessings by how he let us live where we are! We didn't know a soul in our neighborhood because we were the first house. We are just so blessed with such awesome neighbors!
Yesterday, Sunday, was my 26th birthday! We went to church and stayed after for a cookout that my parent's connection class was having. So we ate again! Then Brandon's sweet parents came over and gave me my presents! Then we headed off again...but this time to the mall so I could do some birthday shopping! Brandon gave me a gift card to Bridgestreet and some killer Dolce&Gabbana sunglasses, he's an awesome hubby! I'm just like a little kid, you give me money and I want to spend it right away! So I indulged and bought myself some Christian Dior perfume and some new make-up! I rarely shop for myself, so this was certainly a treat! Then we met up with my mom for a wonderful birthday dinner at PF Changs! My dad had to miss it due to a business trip! Then we went to myparents for cake and icecream. I'm so thankful for wonderful family and everyone who made my birthday great! So needless to say, we're partied out. And my digital camera broke sat. so i had to take pictures with my cell phone. If anyone recommends a good camera, let me know. I'll be buying another one this week. I can't live without it! Here are two pictures from Sunday:
