Happy Birthday, Austin!

I am pretty sure Austin had a great birthday! We had all kinds of company come into town for the occasion. On Saturday afternoon, Tyler came to town to spend some time with us. He spent the night in the living room with a sleeping bag... I can't wait until we have a house and extra bedrooms! Sunday around 11, Austin's parents arrived just in time for lunch. We ate at Benihana's. It was yummy... I had never eaten there before. After lunch, we lounged around the house and at a piece of the BASKIN ROBBINS cake that I had gotten for Austin. It was delicious! Soon after, we went shopping around and driving around. Tyler had been wanting to get a Tom Tom so we went to Best Buy. We didn't end up getting anything. After Best Buy we drove around town and then headed back to the apartment. We sat back down and just talked for a while and then it was around 4ish.... and the Brents were headed back to Whitney. Not long after, Tyler headed back to College Station. I told Austin I remembered when we would travel on the weekends but had to be back Sunday beacuse we had class Monday.... yeah, I don't miss those days!!! Tyler is now living that for us! Austin and I spend the rest of the day relaxing.

Monday, Austin's real birthday, went about the same way as every other weekend that he has off. We slowly woke up and go started on our day. We went and got Austin a haircut... the first one in a LONG LONG time that he had paid for one, he usually does it himself. After the haircut, we went to the bank to deposit some money and then headed to the grocery store. After that, we headed back to the apartment because Mamaw and Papaw we headed into town to stop by and bring Austin his birthday card. The ended up finding the place and stayed for maybe 20 minutes. It was so sweet for them to stop by! After they left it was time to eat lunch! Of couse we had nothing fancy, he had a sandwich and I ate mac and cheese! After lunch we walked to the mailbox, he had gotten two birthday cards in the mail and they were the EXACT same card with a little white puppy on it that looked just like MIA!! It was too funny. One was from my mom, and the other from our friend Blake in Colorado! And to make matters worse, I had given him a card that morning and it had a puppy on it too, but mine was a yorkie! After getting the mail, we played fetch a little with Mia outside to get some energy out of her. Then back inside for more relaxing for Austin's birthday. Tonight, we watched some football and Austin fell asleep around 9. As you can see, I am still awake and about to try and go to sleep like my wonderful husband. The big TWO FIVE! It's all downhill from here.... We will be 40 before we know it!! Time just needs to slow down!!!
