Fun stuff

Hello.
My birthday was good. Eric brought me to the planetarium early in the afternoon. The planetarium is in the public museum, so we (well, he) had to purchase tickets for the museum as well, so we strolled around there for awhile. Really neat museum. I had lots of fun. Afterwards we walked back to my apartment to have a light lunch, then it was off to a go-kart track and bating cages. We also played some skee-ball :) Eric said I'm an easy date because I never want the fancy diners and flowers crap. I want to drive go-karts and go to the arcade :P However, we did go to Old Chicago for super because I LOVE their pizza. Plus they have 110 beers to choose from. Pizza and beer... count me in! :D Later in the night, I wanted to go out for a few drinks with friends, so we went to my favorite bar.
Pretty eventful birthday, which was nice. It also got me away from the stress of school...

Thanks so much for the presents. I haven't had a chance to use the gift card mom and dad sent, but I can't wait to go shopping!!! :) Kelly- thanks so much for the cake :D I picked up a cake pan the other day... can't wait to make it now! Stacy- I can't believe what you got me hahaha! Crazy crazy, but I like it a lot, and I know I'll make good use of it :)

Last night I baked an apple pie for Eric. He loved it :D I'd have to say it was probably one of the best ones I've ever made... We had it with Vanilla ice cream. YUM!

This weekend I have to go on a retreat-type thing for Alternative Breaks. I can't remember if I told everyone, but I became a site leader! I'm kind of nervous, but excited at the same time :) I find out tomorrow which trip I'll be going on. Can't wait!

Hope all is well. Talk to you soon:D

The museum has a carousal from 1928. We got free tickets because it was my birthday :)


We asked the operator to take a picture of us....


Old bike that you can peddle.. don't worry it's grounded :)


This was a really cool exhibt they had going on... It was a complete robbery/murder scenario where you go through and look at the scene, "interview" people. look at the crime scene, the autopsy (if you want... a video of real autopsy footage), and then you try to solve the case. They also had forensics stuff there and other neat crime-solving things. Very cool. Eric and I got our mug shots taken :P

Glad you had a fun birthday. I like all the pictures.
