Happy Birthday to me (on Monday, April 21)! I had a great day.
Steve and I went out to lunch at Gratzi, a fancy Italian restaurant. In the afternoon/evening we went to a "barbeque" for Steve's program--the last one ever for us, which is wierd. We had a good time and Nash loved the Ali Baba's chicken.
We had birthday cake at night and since it would be ridiculous for Steve and I to eat a whole cake by ourselves, we quickly called some neighbors to come over and have a piece. All in all it was a nice day. Steve's gift to me is an upcoming weekend trip to Chicago. I have never been there, so I'm really excited.
Last week, Steve, Nash, and I went to the Detroit Zoo for the first time. We had so much fun! Nash loved being outside (as always) and pointed at all the animals, kids, wagons, etc. that he saw. Here's some pictures from the zoo:
In other news, I got a haircut on Saturday, which I love. You can see it in the birthday picture. I also finished the birthday banner I've been working on. I was in a group with some other friends where we got together to work on birthday banners for ourselves. You can also see it in the birthday picture. Oh, and we found out that Steve didn't get the lectureship at U-M. We were disappointed to say the least, but you know what? Life goes on and things will work out. I just hope that people don't keep asking us what we are going to do. Because you know what I'm going to say? "Live." That is what we are going to keep doing.

Happy birthday, Barb! Your haircut and banner look smashing. I think your attitude is great. Just enjoy the living and everything will work out. It always does. You and Steve (and Nash) are great. We love you!
So sad that you won't be staying here in AA with us! Your haircut is so cute! I really like it. The pics of the zoo trip are fun too, looks like Keith and I will have to take a trip out there to see the fun zoo.
Happy Birthday Barb! Love the banner. Is it made with fabric? And I will add to the previous comments that your hair looks fab! What a fox you are!
So fun to go to the zoo!! Happy Birthday! Cute Hair cut! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you ended with "just Live." Way to soak up all the precious-fun-happy moments in life.
Barb! No wonder I have been thinking about you all week. Silly me for not acting on that and calling you. Happy late birthday. I love you.
