monday- mom came to redlands and picked me and the girls up. poor luke had to stay here, he is in work work work mode.
tues- went to the dentist and got a crown- not really what i wanted to do during my birthweek- or any week for that matter- but it had to be done. then, went to an actual salon and got my haircut by an old friend from high school.
wed (actual birthday)- woke up to 27 mini donuts (tradition in the billings home- my dad always goes and gets donuts and makes them in the shape of how old we are) on top of 27 gatorades with candles. blew them out and only ate 2, promise.
quilted until lauren and i went to the glen ivy spa and for a day of relaxation (read: no kids). we got massages, had a yummy lunch, went in the hot tub, saline pool, mineral bath, mud bath, and more hot tubs. soooo nice.
came home to my favorite dinner (chinese chicken salad) with fam and both grandma's. then went to lauren's for a late craft night with some friends.

thursday- meet up with luke went to disneyland! got to do all the big kid rides we never get to go on. short lines, good times.
friday- came back to redlands. party over.
saturday- i like the drive to orange county so much i decided to go back for the afternoon. the billings fam went to the temple in newport- had way too much fun playing in the dressing rooms with my "aunts" am surprised they will let us all in there together- we are not the super reverent type.
there you have it. birthweek. it was busy, it was fun, it was memorable. and, i got a good feeling about this next year. gonna make it a good one.
