Oh well. At 27, I have a very blessed life and I should be grateful. Right?
We started the day at the Mason's Pancake Breakfast.
Did you know Mark was a Mason? Well, he is. And it's really weird. He enjoys it, so I am supportive. It's still weird, though. If you click on the link above, notice the super cool web page Mark designed for them (and he took the pictures... he would never brag on himself, so I have to do it for him).
Our good friend, Ryan (i.e. Kate's boyfriend), was cooking in the kitchen at the breakfast. Kate saw him and ran right in there with all those old men straight to Ryan. She LOVES him!!
After breakfast, we came home, got ready, and went to meet my family at Chuck E. Cheese. Perfect for your 27th birthday, right???
Scott and Maddie were there. Brad and Vicky were there. Some family friends were there. It was great! Kate had a blast. She ran around like she owned that place, stealing people's Skee Balls, hitting people on the butt (one was a really cute dad... he probably thought it was me!), and dancing in front of the blue screen while we watched her on "t.v."
Soon after that picture was taken, she got all nervous and wanted out. So, until the ride ended it was just Papa up in the air in a tiny car. He still steered and everything... all by himself. :)
After we partied at Chuck E. Cheese, Kate went home with my parents while Mark and I got some time to ourselves. That NEVER happens!!
We hit up Barnes & Noble for some Mocha Frappucinos and magazine reading. I am now caught up on ALL of my celebrity gossip... ask me anything!! This has been a favorite past time of ours since college. We go to the book store, get some coffee, Mark reads smart people philosophy books, and I read US Weekly. That fits us well, wouldn't you say?
We stayed there until about 7 and then went for a late dinner. It was so nice to be able to talk just the two of us. We did miss our girl, though... just a little bit!
All in all, it was a great birthday. Three years from thirty, though?? I STILL don't like the sound of that.

So fun! And I'm right behind you with 27 ... insane! Mark is a Mason? That is really funny!
My mother passed away when she was 27. I will consider myself lucky if I live past that age myself (and I'm turning 27 in August). Let's just say that is an unlucky number in my family. I'm not superstitious or anything, by the way.
I'm glad you had a great birthday, Jennifer
In three years, you can join your friends who are already in their thirties and have been for the past 2 years! Honestly, its just another number. I love my life and all my experiences. I wouldn't stop it or change it for the world!
