... they say it's your birthday...

... So I had a birthday, I turned 29, and as I write that it just seems kinda weird but it is what it is, next year the big 30! I know some people have a hard time getting older and turning 30 but I think I'll be fine with it, I'm looking forward to these more mature years I feel like they will the prime years of my life, I look back on how I was and who I was at even like 21 and 22, and I've changed and have learned a lot and like who I am, so it's only gonna get better right... and there is of course that small part of you that feels like your still 18 so it's weird to get older but in all reality we're all quite different than what we were at that age... anyways deep thoughts by Jen Wade... I look forward to what lies ahead in life and the years to come...
so the birthday was pritty laid back, Max and Bron were not feeling well so we stayed home all day and Brad worked all day so it was pretty much just a regular day.... we did make pizza for dinner which was kinda fun, I had some biscuit dough and some sauce, cheese, pepperoni and olives so we whipped up some mini pizza's and just hung out at home, later Brad and I watched 16 Candles, ( a birthday present I bought for myself) and one of my favorite classics...
we had plans to go out saturday so it worked out fine to just chill at home with the kiddies...


so Saturday we went to Cheesecake Factory ( I have no photos to show for our weekend events so this is as good as it gets) ... I love this place... my favorite Resteraunt is the Garden but my birthday is the 6th and my friend Tom's birthday is the 5th so we have been (the last couple years) doing a combo party for US and we BOTH like this place, so this is where we went... it is so yummy and the cheesecake is so yummy, so we ate there then went back to our friends house, the North's, and just hung out... it was a lovely evening of delicious food and great company ~
like I said I didn't really remember to take pictures so later I decided to take pictures of all my fun presents, Brad got me two really cute purses and an adorable blue dress (funny photo below) and I got some new clips for my bike (thanks Tricia) and some shoes to go with that (thanks Tricia ) which I'm so excited for and can't wait to put them on my bike... and I got some "capes" ha ha for cutting hair, lip gloss, and a scale (thanks Tom and Annie) I cut Tom's hair and every time I do I use a cut up garbage bag to put on him cause I don't have a cape so they got me some capes, adult and kids, I'm so excited to use them and I know everyone I cut hair for will be glad too :) ha ha... and the scale... seems like kinda a funny present but Andrea and I were talking about how we needed one and that it may be more motivation for loosing those extra 5 lbs... and then I got a cute shirt and earings (thanks Shea and Ben ) and a cute braclet and travel contact case... (thanks Sara and Devin) Nail Care collection from Jenny and Aaron that I just used and loved, my nails look fabulous, and shiny right now, and a good ol Walmart gift card from Chad (Brad's brother... ) anyways long list but I really loved all my presents it's so fun to get new stuff Thanks so much to everyone!!! Here's to one more year in my twenties :)


I made Brad take a picture of me in my cute blue dress, I was so proud of him to pick it out all by himself (so he says) and get the right size and everything... he's good, Thanks babe :)

I look really auquered here... if the dress weren't so cute I would NOT have added this picture.... it was late, come on give me a break...
