My 28th Birthday

Yesterday was my 28th birthday. Here are a few pictures of my day. Some of my friends took me out to lunch, they are the best. It was so fun to just sit there and talk. When I got back Joe and the kids had decorated the house. They went all out with balloons and streamers all over the place. Joe gave the kids a few choices for my birthday present and let them pick what they wanted to get. They had to choose between a rice cooker and a swimming pool. So, needless to say, I have a new swimming pool. We were so excited to have the pool that we decided to take the afternoon and set it up. About half way through a huge rain storm came in and Joe and I were out in the pouring rain trying to finish. We were soaked and laughing at how funny we looked. As soon as we were done and got things all cleaned up the rain stopped and the sun came out. We went in and cleaned up and Joe took me out to a great dinner. The kids and I tried the pool out today with some friends and it was great.
