Happy Birthday to Cory! We celebrated Cory's 24th over the span of a few days due to work/school schedules, and the U.S. Postal Service, but it was awesome nonetheless. She got some great cards and gifts from family and friends. Here are some pictures of the birthday girl! It might look like she has a little hat on, but it is actually just our Christmas mistletoe still hanging up behind her. We find any excuse to keep kissing.
Here she is with a Tinkerbell shirt from my sister and her family for our trip to Disneyland next month!
Here she is with all her gifts from one phase of mail. She looks like a happy girl to me!
A lot of her gifts happened to be gift cards or money, so we took a Saturday and hit up all the stores she wanted to go to and she picked up a lot of nice things to update her wardrobe. We ate at the Cheesecake factory that night to top things off. While were browsing around in H&M, something somewhat alarming happened to us. Rather abruptly one of the cashiers started shouting over all the noise in the store that the credit card machines had crashed, that it was a nationwide problem, and that they could only accept cash until further notice. To my surprise, there was almost no reaction from anyone. Some people left the lines, but most people just kept browsing. Are we the only ones that almost never carry cash anymore? Plus, a nationwide problem doesn't alarm anyone else? I guess I have seen too many action thriller movies, because I immediately thought that she meant it was some kind of technological terrorist takeover, and we would soon be reduced to bartering with tangible goods. Naturally, my first thought was how much we could carry when the rioting and looting broke out. Luckily, everyone else's imagination didn't escalate quite like mine did. Just the H&M stores in the nation couldn't take cards anymore because their server went down. Crisis averted. Here is Cory in just a taste of what she purchased with all her B-day money.
Hot mama...
