I can't believe I am a quarter of a century old! (Not a half century like I had before Aunt Terri caught that big one!) I hadn't had that 'starting to feel old' feeling yet until today when someone asked how old I was and I couldn't say 24. Okay, okay 25 is still young but it's just one of those ages that seems to hit you more. It has been a great birthday weekend though so I'll take another birthday next year! Yesterday Jeff and I went to
Pappadeaux for some Cajun seafood dinner. As far as seafood goes in a land locked state, it was great! We even tried the oysters being the daring food junkies that we are.
After dinner we went to see "A Christmas Carol" in 3-D at our
Imax theater. It was really cool! I only had to nudge Jeff a few times when he was snoring, and I only fell asleep for about 5 minutes myself half way through. (Apparently we can't go to movies past 9 o'clock without falling asleep, talk about
embarassing.)
Today was also a special day because I was welcomed into our church officially as a member. I have been doing the
RCIA process at St. Thomas More to continue my Catholic faith (I was baptised as a baby but did not complete the rest of my sacraments.) Only 25-30 more weeks to go until I graduate from this 'class' and can start taking Eucharist with everyone. Jeff is my sponsor so it was really cool to have him there to give me a blessing. We had to walk down the aisle together so it felt like a mini wedding practice! Father Andrew was there who is also the one who will be performing our ceremony. I almost cried several times thinking about it, so everyone better be ready for some major water works on the big day. By the way, the best part of this picture is the old man up in the left. Jeff was in love with his teal sweater and told me that is exactly what he wants to wear when he gets to be an old man.
In other birthday news, Jeff
surprised me and took me to the cowboy store today. I got to pick out a pair of boots for my present! Now I officially feel like a real Coloradoan. Aren't they great? So Terri this means I have to come visit you in Washington so I can run around your barn to get them dirtied up.
