After appetizers we went Salsa dancing. Many of my friends from work came because I told them it was my birthday celebration.
Saturday I met up with some friends from work at Lake Julian here in Asheville. To my surprise it was a birthday party for me. We (well, they) grilled out Carne Asada and had rice and tortillas. We paddle boated (partially in the rain), fished, and socialized.
They also bought me a traditional Mexican tres leches (three milk) cake and of course pushed my face into it....tradition!
Saturday evening I went out to dinner with my parents to celebrate my dad's birthday, then I dyed my hair, and then I went out with some friends to celebrate my birthday once more.
I woke up EARLY on the actual day of my birthday to compete in the Asheville Triathlon. Both me and my dad ended up getting second place in our individual age groups!
After the triathlon I hurried to church and arrived just in time to teach my 4-year-old Sunday school class. My 6 sweet little girls sang "Happy Birthday" to me. After church I went with my parents to go and eat a Asiana for lunch. Then I took a nap, packed for school the next day, and then headed out again to eat dinner with Sarah and Eliza on the day of my actual birthday. We were going to go downtown but it rained...so we returned to Stoneridge Tavern because we once again wanted Buffalo Bites and Nachos. We also were given a full rack of ribs and two brownie Sundaes compliments of the guys in the back! We were stuffed! Also, sporadically throughout the weekend I had several sweet phone calls and visits to make my day even more special. That pretty much sums up my birthday weekend. It wore me out, but I had a blast!
