This past week was my birthday!
We didn't do to much on the day of my birthday. I had to work. After work my sister made it down from Tennessee for her son's engagement party this weekend. When I got home the table was full of presents from both the boyfriend and my sister. I opened my sisters first, she got me a cute solar light for my yard, some more ginger snaps jewelry for a necklace she got me before, some candy and a Sister Mug. I then open the boyfriend's gift, and he got me a Paper Shredder. It was pretty funny because I kept complaining I needed one but never got it for myself. So he decided to get it for me, but got one of the really nice ones that shreds not only paper but cds also. I was super excited about it, I think I have almost filled the container already.We then went to Hokkaido and sat at the hibachi grill. It was a nice dinner with the boyfriend, my sister and one of our friends. We decided to head to my aunt's house to hang out for a bit.
The next day was a Friday and I took the day off to spend with my sister. We went and did a bunch of shopping.
On Saturday the boyfriend took me to the Brevard Zoo. I have been really wanting to go check out this zoo for awhile now. It was a wonderful relaxing day.
Here are some photos from the day:
We had such a great time! We were thinking about doing the zip lining but after walking around and watching other people do it, we realized that we were not dressed properly for it. Maybe we will go back soon and just do the zip lining.
