Birthday Fun!

Yesterday was John's birthday! He turned 24! We decided that was cause for celebration so I took the day off and we had some birthday festivities!

John had an interview in the morning, so while he was busy with that Nicole decided it would be a good time to treat me to a birthday pedicure (my birthday is at the end of the month and I leave tomorrow for Texas for just over two weeks)!

YEA!

After the pedis, we went to see the new Nordstrom . It was beautiful and very tempting. However, lucky for Marshall, a pregnant Melissa who is about to be carrying a diaper bag for the next several years of her life and is currently several sizes larger than normal, is not as tempted in such a place these days!

So we settled for some new lipstick!

We made it a short trip since it was John's day not mine and headed home before there was any real damage done!

We started the festivities with lunch at the Cheesecake Factory!

Where we meet this nice lady "Babe"....

Who helped us sing Happy Birthday to John very enthusiastically...

then John opened presents.

After lunch Marshall had to go back to work, but John, Nicole and I headed off for some fun at the Hogle Zoo!

It is still a little chilly outside these days so we didn't see as many animals as we would have liked but we still had some tons of fun!

After the zoo we went back to my place to have cake and watch the Office! It was a fun time had by all!
