birthday

I was lucky to finish all my finals before my birthday. And that was enough present for me.
But I came home yesterday from running errands and found this in our living room:

Steve was a busy boy. That night we opened a few presents and went out to dinner.
Then we drove to the hilltop, where all the big houses are, to look at Christmas lights
(and dream just a little).

Little did I know Steve had another activity in mind. We got home and I opened the door
to a surprise party!

Look at that cake! He did a great job.

A few of the party "surprisers."

The guy who planned it all.


Thanks babe for making my day extra special.
23 is going to be a great year. I can feel it.
