The one where Lia became ancient...

Hey kids!

So, as usual, I am super late in covering important events in our life. I would totally lose the blogging olympics. Especially because every picture in this post is going to be from my iPhone (in honor of Steve, of course.)

I'll pick up where my wonderful, handsome husband left off. My birthday. Folks, this getting older thing is no longer fun; I just don't see a reason for it anymore. Sean already gets good deals on rental cars even though we aren't 25 (remember, he is a fancy consultant) and my eggs are as ready as they'll ever be. So basically the birthdays can just stop now.

I suppose I shouldn't complain though because I had a pretty awesome birthday celebration this year. Being married is fun because it obligates at least one person to buy you super cool gifts and tell you how wonderful you are all day. Sean did a fantastic job with this. He got me almost everything on my wish list (even the make up brushes I wanted!!!) and took me on a wonderful birthday date. Although, he didn't even get back to South Florida until 5 pm (again with that work business...hmph) so I guess he had to be extra sweet. After I picked him up from the airport (aren't I the kindest wife even on my birthday?) I requested we head straight to the driving range. This whole turning 24 thing has really changed my interests. I find myself always wanting to golf instead of playing soccer and riding around on jet skis. I'm officially an old person.

 Sean has taught me well...

Sometimes things don't go so smoothly...

I thought it would be a good idea to take video of our swings. Turns out it just depressed me because my swing is way more pathetic than I thought it was. Sean totally and completely out does me in this aspect of life. I suppose I shouldn't be too hard on myself though I started 2 weeks ago and he has been golfing since age six. Also, I was using his huge man clubs that weigh like 209302 pounds. 

                                       

Is he not the cutest thing ever in his work clothes, cheesin' at the camera? 

Sean was so impressed with my commitment to the great game of golf that he bought me my very own set of women's clubs this past weekend (extra birthday gift I guess!!). He finally realized that I wasn't the weakest girl in the world, his golf clubs are just the heaviest clubs in the world. I requested a purple bag...he delivered. 

The girliest golf clubs in the world according to Sean. They will make me unstoppable...HA. 

Wait, is this post about about golf or my birthday? Jeez, apparently I'm easily side tracked. 

After we went to the range we got ready and went to dinner...just the two of us. We hadn't been on a date for awhile so it was very fun to get dressed up a bit and go out. We went to the Grand Lux Cafe (owned by the same company as Cheesecake Factory). They had super fun cocktails. I think this was a passion fruit mojito or something of the sort. 

On Saturday it was the UM vs. OSU football game. Sean is a season ticket holder. I didn't want to sit at home by myself during my birthday weekend so I also went. Sean is slowly trying to turn me into a real football fan. He explains the strategy of each play to me. He points out specific  players I should watch during each play. It is SO hard to even follow the ball in football...I totally fall for all of the trick plays. I always think the quarterback still has the ball while the running back is like 30 yards down the field with it. I don't think I'd be a very good linebacker (hey, at least I sorta know some of the positions!!)

The tail gate before the game is the real event of a football Saturday. Aunt Cheri even brought a birthday cake for me! Good Auntie she is! UM won...barely. GO CANES! I guess being 24 isn't so bad...I get to be a cougar for the next 6 months. Yahoo!

One last parting note - look out for me on the LPGA tour. I'll be making my debut in the next few months. (Stop laughing folks!)
